Oh, this just says it all. The dark tones and his expression (as well as the broken glass) add to the mystery and angst of the situation. I totally empathize.

The motherboard on my old computer died three weeks ago, and it was an anxious time waiting to see if my data could be recovered, and finding out that while my files were recoverable, my programs weren't. I now have a new (early Christmas present from my sweet husband) computer which is bigger, faster, and has more whistles and bells than the old one, but is requiring a bit of a learning curve on my part (which explains why I am still up at 4 a.m. - no, it's really 3 a.m. because of the time change). Photoshop is much easier with 4 gb of ram than with 556 mb.

Good luck with your new and improved machine.

Beautiful clock tower! The detail in the stones and in the roof tiles is amazing.

I don't understand why they needed to keep your driver's license. Here, the early voting ended yesterday (Friday). We signed in and showed our driver's licenses, but they just looked at them and verified our signatures. They didn't even taken them from us. With so much identify theft, I would be very reluctant to leave my license. I think a complaint to the election officer is in order.

I, too, just love the spots on the birds and the dots in the grass. We used to have a small flock of guinea fowl on our place as they were rumored to help keep snakes away. I don't know about the snakes - we still had some, much to my dismay, but they sure were efficient watch birds. They would set about that unusual clamor of theirs whenever any strange creature, mankind or otherwise, would set foot on the property. I tried to keep them in the barn at night, but they much preferred to roost in the trees. Thank you for bringing back the memories of these eccentric creatures.

This is just breathtaking....

I'm a little sad about going back to regular time. I do not have a window at work and these days, I will go into work in the dark and come home at dark. Be careful during your evening run.

Day 1 - A dog

I like that the pup is looking the opposite direction from her owner. Two interpretations come to mind. One - they've got each other's backs; and the second (probably more accurate for a border collie) that she doesn't want to watch because she will be so sorely tempted to jump in and help. Those kids couldn't possibly herd that ball as well as she could.
