It's odd what you miss sometimes. We had the driveway resurfaced a few weeks ago and I have cleaned around the place several times with the blower yet it was only today, when coming in with the dogs, that I spotted the tracks from our cat who must have padded through the still wet coating and left his mark.

It does add a certain style to the place. He certainly left his mark!

A very wet day today in PA.
The Rain in (Spain?) falls mainly down the chain,  buT iS iT aRt?

Up at the school today I couldn't help but notice this lovely metal Eiffel Tower. I wonder about these knickknacks and how they are designed, manufactured and shipped all over the globe. This one has a certain art deco style about it.

I had a very long all day meeting today but managed to have a short breather at lunchtime and get this shot of the great retro sofas in the building foyer. Applying one of the Camera+ effects on the photo gave an interesting output, bUt iSiT aRt?











I also couldn't resist using the fisheye lens on our little Fiat 500. It makes the car look even more quirky than it actually is!

While cleaning out my camera bag in the back of the car this morning I rediscovered my cheap fisheye lens for my iPhone. I had purchased this on a whim earlier in the year with 2 other lenses for under $10 including shipping and hadn't really used it much so I took it into the office for a couple of contrived shots to see how it performs.

I think I will carry this a little more often as it could be used to good effect on even a very mundane object or scene, as shown above.

One of the great things about always carrying a camera (iPhone) is the ability for those quick shots when something catches my eye or makes me smile. This is an example of the latter, spotted when collecting my daughter from band practice.

Day 13

The wheel of Mother nature keeps on turning and this year produced some really lovely little gourds from some opportunistic plants in our garden. I love the symmetry and bright colors.
