A couple of shots from White Sands National Monument from 2016

This is actually a bit of a Where's Waldo photo - I didn't realize until a couple of months ago that my blue tick hound, Rupert, is in this photo! That pleased me tremendously. You might want to click to embiggen to see where he's hiding.



There are times when I go too shallow on depth of field, but I think this one is OK.

Both photos are good examples of what a polarizer can bring to the party. Of course, with digital photography, you have to use a circular polarizer which can be a tad more expensive.

I was wanting to show these to a certain Romanian friend on DW, and found I had not uploaded them to my web site! Well, I have since remedied that situation.

I love compatible insanities!

This is one fashion in which I've corrupted my wife: I can say something that others would consider a nonsequitur or just complete nonsense, just really weird stuff, and she'll recognize the thread, pick it up and run with it.

Last night I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online and I notice in the world chat someone says
What's Aragorn got to do with it?

I have no idea what the context of the message is, but I immediately reply
What's Aragorn but a second-hand emotion?

And shortly after appears
Who needs an Aragorn when an Aragorn can be broken!

And I cheered! Someone with a compatible insanity who could riff on a 35 year old Tina Turner track!
