Favorite 3D Image

best0f3d.pngAs far as picking my personal favorites of the 3D images I have made to date, this view of the Grand Canyon, that I captured on our Summer ’08 vacation, comes pretty close. The view is from one of the turnouts on the South Rim, not too far from Grand Canyon Village.

3D Image: Grand Canyon Looking Northeast – click to enlarge.

The view, looking to the northeast, shows some foreground perspective, an intermediate rock formation and the canyon walls in the far distance. Even though the perspectives are there in the 2D version of this image, the added feature of stereo vision enhances the effect of depth and perspective.

Oh, if you don’t have your 3D glasses yet, you can get a free pair from Rainbow Symphony.

Icelandic Poppy Season

While the winters are mild here in the Los Angeles area, we definitely notice the seasonal change. In the garden shop, daisies and mums give way to pansies and Icelandic poppies. Yesterday, we got a couple of Icelandic poppies. I’m not sure if I’ll plant them out front or in the patio garden. Click on the image to enlarge.

Basking in the Morning Sun

profile-bear.jpgNow that it’s cold outside, I like to find a patch of sunlight coming in and sit in it to get nice and warm. I will sit here until I hear the Mama working in the kitchen. When she goes in there, I know there will be FOOD for me right after that.

I’m not allowed in the kitchen, so I will go back and forth from one door to the other because I don’t know where the food will come out. The Mama calls it “Kitchen Kabuki” when I do that.

Pretty soon, one of the hoomins brings out my dish with my breakfast. I like mornings because I can sit in the sun and then EAT!

Possum

I have seen this little guy several times in the yard. For the last couple of weeks, I have seen him every once in a while, sitting atop the block wall in back. Tonight, I walked out and took this photo of him before he lumbers down behind the bushes and digs for grubs or whatever little possums do.

I think he’s adopted us.
