Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply....”

Do cats always land unharmed on their feet, no matter how far they fall? Most of the times this seems true! :)

This principle holds true for some humans too! Is that your case?

PS: I can tell you this particular little cat landed on their feet unharmed!

Money on the Arno River

According to wikipedia the Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a Medieval bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.
The reason behind this image (dedicated to my friend Lito) is because I want to inform you about a contest Sarah told me, click here for a chance to win $5000 cash and $200 monthly to a random winner (like you and me!). Well, I've applied myself since I really need some extra cash... who doesn't! :)
Probably you are wondering how this image is related to this contest... if you follow the link you will find out!

BTW: Follow this link for a previous image of this same old bridge.

Here you have, Barb! A colorful shot for you! Hope this shot fits feng shui aesthetics... According to my (quick) research it should work:

Take that fence down

I think this is the right shot to upload today... yep, I need to take some fences down.

“Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.”
~R. Frost

“I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.”
