Day 34

Saturday, February 4, 2012

We reached Las Vegas successfully.  After driving down the strip (a legal requirement for anyone coming to Las Vegas…) we saw this beautiful old pink Cadillac. (1/320, f10, 42mm, ISO 200, photo by the Dailylife Wife) The driver seemed familiar, but it could have just been the fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror. ~Curtis in […]

A Movie for All Time!

Thursday, February 2, 2012

A film that has inspired the “Jews, Catholics, Evangelicals, Hindus, Buddhists, Wiccans, and followers of the oppressed Chinese Falun Gong.”  A romantic comedy that delves into Nietzsche and Camus.  A parable of life, love, loss, redemption, salvation, with a growing sentiment that it will be enshrined with It’s a Wonderful Life at the top of the […]

Day 23

Sunday, January 22, 2012

On Sunday the Dailylife Wife and I took a drive through the country.  I was surprised to find this oasis of green water plants, particularly after the several days of sub-zero temperatures we had. (1/180, f8, 40mm, ISO 200, -1/2 stop) I looked really different when you backup up and saw the snow in front […]

Day 10

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

A snowy, dreary kind of day.  But I still found a couple of Eagles!  This one kept flying up and down the river below Giant Springs, starting to dive for something in the river, then pulling up.  I don’t know if he couldn’t decide what to eat (like standing in front of the fridge with […]
