Photo sharing
Advertising GRAPHITE

Joining Flickr just over a month ago has opened an entire new world for me! I enjoy seeing the world through photos taken by all kinds of amateur and professional photographers.
This photo of a Pepsi advertisement from, I guess the 50's, was taken by Fernando Innecchi in Prague. The well dressed, obviously relaxed women casually enjoying her Pepsi as she grocery shops cracks me up!. She even has white gloves! The added touch of graffiti on the bottom brings a hint of reality. To see more Pepsi ads, go to

Thanksgiving
I took this photo on a warm day last spring! This squirrel was relaxing, enjoying the warmth of the sun as much as I was.
With the temperature in the 50 degree range today, probably similar to when I shot the above photo, the scene in the woods is totally different. No time for relaxation, animals are very busy collecting food and making their homes a warm comfortable place before winter.
Providing shelter and collecting enough food to survive the long winter is just as important for us.
I am very thankful for the comfort of shelter and food that I have been fortunate to have.
I wish everyone could have such fortune. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Free range chickens!
Three in the beans! My brother in law bought a few chickens to amuse the grand children and supply fresh eggs. Wandering free during the day this trio finds plenty of good bugs in the soy bean field.

If I could write music
Early this morning as I stood at the edge of the woods listening to nature's activities I thought what a magical piece of music! If only I could write it. I hear it as a contemporary piece of music with the wind creating the introduction gently flowing through the pine needles and oak tree leaves creating a whisper and a mellow rustling. A Red Squirrel keeps the rhythm with a frantic high pitched chatter as the whiny squawk of a Grey Squirrel fills in the blanks. Flocks of Starlings chip loudly, wings flapping as they settle into the tops of the basswood trees to feed on ripe seeds. Red Bellied woodpeckers knock on a dead birch tree keeping time. Chickadees sing sweetly repeating their name chick a-dee-dee-dee, not to be left unheard. Chipmunks improvise with a deep thunk, thunk, thunk like the plucked strings of a stand up bass. Cardinal partners chip to one another flying happily from tree to tree saying follow me, follow me!Morning doves coo in the background softly adding to the chorus. The sound of Great Horned owls hoot, hoot, hoot-hoot builds to a crescendo added to by the snorts of two startled fawns leaping through the dry underbrush, cracking branches and crushing leaves as they realized I am in their pathway. The honking sounds of Canada geese flying high overhead add to the piece briefly as they travel off into the distance, fading softly to complete the piece.
Lovely!
I really don't need to know how to write the music because it's already written by nature!

"Wind Trees" or Wind turbines
I am fascinated by the new type of "trees" growing in the Wisconsin landscape. As I drive to work at Image Studios, wind turbines have been erected in amazing numbers. The structures are very breath taking and graceful but also intimidating. Growing to four hundred feet in one day. Standing below one looking up, I felt like what an ant must feel next to a human. Having mixed feelings about this type of tree for the wonderful clean energy that is produced from its branches but also how the natural landscape has been changed.
