From Last Summer

Spring is in the air! I'm looking forward to getting back hiking in the hills this summer. To that end, I ran into a very well done and interesting photo blog. It's Atom's Picture Blog and if anyone who visit's here likes this blog, I think that you'll very much enjoy Adam's too.

Fast food arches? Perhaps in neolithic times. This is a whalebone arch, taken in Barrow, Tuesday, (4/6/10)looking out on the Chukchi Sea.

Here's a little something from Dillard & Clark, 'Train leaves Here this Morning' and 'In the Plan.'
It's off of a great album they cut back in 1969, 'The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark'. If you don't know who Doug Dillard and Gene Clark were, you should. Anyway if you like bluegrass/country give it a listen. If you don't, give it a listen anyway. These guys were exceptionally good.



One more track by Allison Krause and Robert Plant of 'Through the Morning, Through the Night' which gives the Dillard & Clark standard a run for its money.

2009's Ship of Fools

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S
Again, while I try not to divert to politics on this photo-blog. Sometimes circumstances compel you. Here's hoping that 2010 ends up better than 2009.
Here's a collage of jokers for 2009.
Perhaps I'll do a whole 52 card deck of jokers? That's it! No one card outranking the other! Total gridlock! How does one win? Easy! Bribery, graft & back room deals! Just like the real congress!
Or perhaps an ever expanding poster. The possibilities are endless.
Here's hoping for change.

Top Left to right: Pelosi, Obama, Reid
Middle: Waxman (a.k.a. Batboy), Our new symbol, Geithner holding Bernanke's head, Alaska's junior senator Boy Begich
