  • philosophy
    where there is hope there can be faith. where there is faith miracles can occur.
  • mark twain
    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

this creation went missing via the post office...darn.  i brought home a bag full of bottle caps from the coke store in vegas (they were going to thrash them), got out the drill and some small circle jump rings to join them all together.  ( i have some bottle caps of my favorite pop waiting to be make into something. have not decided yet what that will be.

fireworks

I am still trying to capture the "perfect" firework photo. not sure what that really is in my mind but i will just keep practicing.

from rosemount's leprechaun days...btw...the fireworks were quite good (yes, I was a bit surprised, it had been a few years since i went to them.? i did not take in the whole experience as i was changing lenses and looking through a camera.? :o)
