FFFF-Sun...or Sol...

Well, it's Friday again! And there is ANOTHER FFFF theme. This time our lovely Diana has offered the theme as SUN. Thank you Diana! We really haven't seen the sun much lately, so I am having to pull from the archives. So, since I have little to say(...I know, rare day, indeed!), I figured I would offer up these little gems.

.

This one was taken from our front yard in California. It was a warm Spring day (By Warm, I mean upper sixties, and by Spring, I mean February) and the spiders in the grass had made themselves busy. I saw the sun glinting off their webs and wanted to record it. If you click on the picture you should be able to make some of them out. That shiny mess in the middle of the grass across the road IS ALL spider webs!

The next one is of Mt. Adams. I took it at sunset in December. If you are lucky you might be able to make out the snow blowing off the shoulder of the mountain.

And finally, this is my lovely wife when we were Christmas Tree hunting.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am one week away from the Kitty Hawk Decommissioning!!! I am sure I will take plenty of pictures and I will be able to bore you with ship pictures for months!

Summer Solstice today. That means it is the longest day of the year, which sound wrong, should be the day during which the sun is highest in the sky and shines longer than any other day of the year. It is also a sad day of the year for me. It means from here on outthe days will be getting shorter...I am a sunshine person...I like daylight, though you would not know it by how much time I spend indoors...alas. Anyway, it deserves mention. Also, it is West Virginia Day. I have never been there, and since I am unaware of any air museums or ship museums, I will probably never go there.

Cora told me I write too much. She is probably right. The common web traveler probably would rather look at pictures and have short flowery sentences…too bad, too. I say some really funny shit. Nah, that was just a joke, I am really quite serious. So, I have posted more visuals today! Happy Summer Solstice!!!! Oh, and as for visuals, I wish I could post the expression on Cora's face when I wish her a happy Solstice first! Instead I will post a picture of her potting plants...isn't she pretty?

I think I finally got a video from the other day to work. Have a look for yourself…just a tractor, but, still…it’s one that moves! I know it doesn't show much, but tractors don't move THAT fast. My Father-in-Law is in that particular tractor.
