Single Picture Post #1





Okay, these single wordless pics of some nighttime sky pics I took while in Northlandia may not be wordless after all.  Some context is necessary.  I had wanted the pictures to simply speak for themselves, but being the yakker I am, I have to add more, more, more to something that yells less, less, less.

This and the other ones I post were all taken within an area around Emerald City.  This particular one was taken at the north lagoon, an eerily beautiful place just outside of town that is perhaps my favorite spot for night shoots.  It is wonderful only as long as my mind doesn't wander to possible creatures lurking about wanting old tired blood for breakfast.  I might be growing up because I went out there three times and not only survived but didn't spook myself either. 

 Photo details:  Taken 6/5/2017, 5:15 AM, 12mm, 30 second exp., ISO 800

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
