This week in SSC: "Unfocused Abstract Photography" What do you see here? (See PiP for the "in-focus" version.) ...and for Sight and Sound: The Beatles from their "Help" album (UK) and "Beatles VI (US) (1965) Tell Me What You See Tell Me What You See

For Sight and Sound: Six Pence Non The Richer from their album "The Fatherless and the Widow" (1994) Falling Leaves Falling Leaves

This week in SSC: "Something interesting from my street" I live way out in the woods and the lane I live on is really just a long driveway that ends at my house (see PIP.) I walked down it a couple of times but really couldn't find anything too interesting (and I didn't think I should post a photo of my neighbor's house. :)) So... I took a photo of a tadpole that is in our pond since the lane goes right by it. I thought he was pretty interesting. Check out his little tail! ..and for Sight and Sound: Tower of Power from their album "Bump City" (1972) You're Still a Young Man You're Still a Young Man

In honor of Linda Ronstadt's birthday, July 15th ♥ ♥ ♥ I have loved her since I was a teenager and was lucky enough to see her live in 1976. I think she was one of the best female vocalists ever. She could take a song written by anyone else and make it all her own and she even made me like some Country Music. :) Happy Birthday, Linda Ronstadt! For Sight and Sound: This song is one of my favorites from the first album of hers that I ever heard. It was written by Woody Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter and Alan Lomax and features Bernie Leadon on guitar and vocals and Herb Peterson on banjo, fiddle and vocals. From her self-titled album (1972) Ramblin' 'Round Ramblin' 'Round

This week in SSC: "Take a photo through a glass pane." This is looking through the window on our front door at a hanging fuchsia basket. It was interesting focusing due to the etching on the glass (you can see the window in the PiP.) ...and for Sight and Sound Seal from the soundtrack to the movie "Indecent Proposal" (1993) Out of the Window Out of the Window

This week in SSC: "Planned Overexposure" Geraniums on the water ...and for Sight and Sound: Manfred Mann's Earth Band Blinded By the Light Blinded By the Light

Some folks mistake these birds for Blue Jays but they are really Steller's Jays. They aren't very friendly to each other at the feeder (and some look a little beat up) so I'm going to pair them with this song from some other "jays" known as the O'Jays from their album "Backstabbers" from 1972. :)) For Sight and Sound: Backstabbers Backstabbers

This week in SSC: "Fast Shutter Speed" I had fun playing around with fast shutter speeds this week. I really learned a LOT. These seagulls were fun to watch at the beach the other day. ...and for Sight and Sound: The Eagles from their album "Hotel California" (1976) Life in the Fast Lane Life in the Fast Lane
