Sight and Sound: Pictures and Music

This week in SSC: "Shoes" I can now add "Shoe Model" to my resume. ;-) These are my comfy black dress shoes that I've had for many years. I never thought I would have so many pics for this challenge. :)) I started out with the main shot of the shoes and then I just had too much fun with different editing programs so there are more pics below. I hope you enjoy my shoes! :D ...and for Sight and Sound: Tears for Fears from "Songs from the Big Chair" (1985) Head over Heels Head over Heels

This week in SSC: "Panoramic Photography" (Hood Canal, Wa.) This is a favorite spot down the hill from where I live. Thankfully, we got a break in the rain the other day so I could sneak down there and get a couple of shots. I used the "Panorama" setting on my camera. (Another clickable image below.) This place reminds me of a postcard so I thought I'd use this song for "Sight and Sound." Chicago from their "Chicago VII" album (1974) Wishing You Were Here Wishing You Were Here

This pretty male Western Tanager is awaiting his turn at the feeder. He is probably one of the most colorful songbirds in this area and is a rare treat to see. For Sight and Sound: Paul McCartney and Wings from the album "Venus and Mars" (1975) Love in Song Love in Song

This week in SSC: "This year as with last year, the challenge will be about New Year's Resolutions." My resolution in 2020 is a simple one but not so easy just yet.
