Photo Hunt; Spotted

I photograph much of what I spot so it could be said that any photograph I have taken was spotted. That felt too much like cheating so I found  a shot of my windscreen, taken at the beach, on a showery, overcast day. I wondered why the spots of rain are dark at the top [...]

After one week he had to give a presentation explaining Usenet to all the officers. At the presentation, one woman asked, “You seem to know so much about this stuff, Joe. Did you [...]

Pearls Before Swine; Drama Cow 4

Woven

Playing games with all my new 14.6 megapixels. At night, with a flash and 1/180th of a second exposure. Still learning. This is one complicated machine.
