Ominous Wallbird Breaking; A Post in Three Pictures

Looking North just before sunset a couple days ago

There were four birds, three of them fighting, and a gust of wind blew one off the wall.

Raxi is weird.  And broken often.

To Good To Not Use

That is all.

Obamacize Me!

Dr. Monkey von Monkerstein turned me (and, well, anyone else who reads his blog, actually) on to this cool site called Obamicon.me that takes a picture and does the thing that the Obama campaign did to make the picture turn out the way it did. (I hope that explanation wasn't too technical for any of you.)

Anyway, here's my avatar pic done like the President-Elect's campaign posters:



Pretty cool, eh?

Fisticuff Diurnal*

I've driven past this place a hundred or eleven times since I got to Teh Flatlands, but I never can seem to remember my camera. Luckily, Jen was with me the other night and had her camera, so viola!

Anyway, I'm off to meet Jen's parents and then later today she'll be meeting mine....

*Hope everyone is having a great Boxing Day!

See ya tomorrow.

Full moon tonight.

Yeah, Well...

Those pictures I took yesterday? While I was rearranging?

Yeah, well, they might as well be photos of Planet Zod. Looking at them, I can't even tell what they are, and I took the damn things.

So, no photos for you, Dear Reader.

Neither Cunning, Nor a Runt, But Does Have A Camera

So I don't have a fancy-shmancy camera like some people, but what I do have can sometimes take a decent image. I was up early t'other morning, and got some shots of the sunlight first hitting some o' the trees by the Secret Lair (aka '73 Winnebago). As always, you can click on an image to embiggen it:






And here's this week's shot of the Reappearing House. You can actually kinda-sorta see it, cause of the angle of the sun:

Evah!!!!

Thank you, Cuz.

The Rest Of The Story

So, as you know, I was blessed with a visit from my blogfriend Jen, Proprietress of Coasting Richly, the other day. She and I both posted a couple of photos of the visit. In her post, Jen answered one of the questions of the ages; namely, "Does Phydeaux, in fact, live in a Secret Lair (aka '73 Winnebago) in Teh Mountainz of North Carolina?"

What you don't know is... (cue Paul Harvey) "The Rest of the Story!"

(thanks, Paul. You can go take a nap now)

Well, the truth of the matter is, the Secret Lair (aka '73 Winnebago) is actually a TARDIS. So, while Jen was here, we took a quick trip to some really cool places...

Here we are, in front of Buckingham Palace in London.

And here on the Salisbury Plain, at Stonehenge.

Next, we went to Paris, for this shot in front of the Eiffel Tower.

And thence to Giza, Egypt, to pose in front of the Pyramids.

Finally, we popped back to Great Britain,...

To stop by Hogwarts...

So Jen could meet Hermione Granger. And say her name.

NOTE: I am just now learning to use GimpShop (the po' man's PhotoShop). As if you couldn't tell.
