Hearing Nothing at the moment

Angular Photos


Before I get to the photos from at an angle from this week's Photo Shoot, I'm saddened to announce an untimely demise:



Yes, the sunflower from my picture on Monday met a messy end -- not, as expected, from the weight of its own sunflowers, but because last night we had an immense electrical storm, complete with hailstones, and I believe the hailstones pummeled the stalk to the ground. I looked out my office window this morning and didn't see the sunflower, came down and saw in prone in the garden. Very sad.

I plan to console myself with the excellent picture people provided of things on an angle, such as:

Hills and barns

A branch with the (almost) last leaf

Turtles and cannonballs

A long explanation for the slopes in these photos

A rocky shore

Post office angles

Rollercoasters!

Deer on a hill

A dragonfly perch

Houses on hills

Bikes and spider webs

What lovely photos. Just what I needed to get over The Sunflower Incident. Thank you, one and all.
