Posted on October 25, 2020 Updated on October 24, 2020

This is a companion piece to my Virus Humor post back in April. It takes talent and patience to do this. And, a sharp knife. ~Vic

POTD: Hiatus

Posted on September 30, 2020 Updated on September 30, 2020

I’m taking a break from blogging for a while. I’m kinda burned out. In fact, I’m burned out on a lot of things. I’m not sure when I will return. ~Vic

POTD: The Robot

Posted on September 22, 2020 Updated on September 21, 2020

I can’t tell if it is facing me or facing the house. It looks like his feet are facing the house and it appears he has a ray gun facing the house but, he has eyes looking at me. Maybe it is a confused robot but, the metal work is cute. ~Vic

POTD: Cycle of Life

Posted on August 18, 2020 Updated on August 18, 2020

I wasn’t expecting to see this. I was a bit startled and thought I might scare the bird. The small creek was quite a bit of a steep drop. This may be hard to look at but, the carrion eaters are the necessary clean-up crew. At first, I thought it might be a deer but, the tail appears to be too long. Click on the picture to see a larger shot, if you wish. ~Vic

POTD: The Pig

Posted on August 5, 2020

I suspect that the same guy that built Jack (here, here & here) probably built the pig. The BBQ inside is really good, too.

Heh. You can just see my reflection, taking the picture. ~Vic

We’ve been having rolling thunderstorms over the last two weeks. My buddy Ray captured this at work. Two years, ago, I captured another July Rainbow. ~Vic

When you need a new hood and it doesn’t quite fit properly. Color matching is optional. ~Vic

POTD: Stickwork Sculpture 3.0

Posted on July 19, 2020 Updated on November 14, 2020

I’ve posted this sculpture twice, before…here & here. This will be my last installment as I only had a few shots and this shot isn’t even mine. This photo was part of a larger group of snow shots I posted about here & here.

Since it is SO HOT outside, I thought I would cool your mind a bit. ~Vic
