Pepto Bismobile

Verna took this picture today of a God-awful pink Smart Car® as we were running errands and shopping. All I could think was it’s not smart and it reminds me of Pepto Bismol. No larger image available.

A Wickenburg Tiki

I don’t get this tiki figure that is in the front of a West Wickenburg house. We headed to California today and Verna took this picture of the weird tiki as we passed. Interestingly, there is a roadside tiki vendor near the east town limits. I wonder if this tiki came form that guy. It seems sort of nonsensical that a tropical talisman like a tiki would find a home in a desert town, but whatever. Click on the image to enlarge.

Multicolor Webcam Art Fun

This works only if you have a webcam installed.

The program I use to prepare Adobe Flash® animations has a blog. Their authors will post articles describing various aspects of the program.

This is the result - 25 mini me images rendered with different video filters:

Palm-Cactus

Verna took this photo of a cactus sprouting from a palm tree on the corner of Yavapai and Tegner next to St. Anthony’s in Wickenburg, AZ. It’s interesting and weird at the same time. The tree trimmers apparently let the cactus do its thing, I guess. Click on the image to enlarge.

Up To The Minute Weather

Verna and I drove to the dentist this morning. On the way back, she took this interesting photo of an “Up to the Minute Weather” station. Click on the image to enlarge.

Wildflowers in the Gutter

Earlier this month, when we were on vacation, we saw wildflowers everywhere it seemed. Today, while out running errands, Verna snapped this picture of a pair of pink wildflowers growing out of a crack in the concrete gutter. I guess when you’re in an urban location, vacant land is few and far between and the wildflowers have to find somewhere to grow.
