That's My World Tuesday - December 7, 2010 - Hot Tuna!

First off, I apologize that these images are not up to my usual standard. But this week, this is my world.

Friday night I went into NYC for a great concert. It was the first of two Hot Tuna shows celebrating Jorma Kaukonen's 70th birthday. Jorma was a founding member of two legendary bands, Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane.

I'll admit, I'm not really familiar with their music. But the buzz was that MY favorite musical performer, Bruce Hornsby, was going to be making a guest appearance. If Bruce is playing in my neck of the woods...I'll be there.

It was a blazing hot show from start to finish. There were many guest musicians in addition to Bruce, including the magnificent Warren Haynes! Most of the audience in my section of the theater were on their feet dancing the entire time. I certainly was!

These photos were shot from my seat in row T with my simple point and shoot camera. I would have never been able to get in there with my DSLR.


Here's the band! Bruce is furthest to the left at the piano. Warren Haynes is the next musician as you move right. Jorma is second from the right.



Jorma Kaukonen. Happy Birthday!




Bruce perfoms Children of Zion on the dulcimer with the band.



Bruce and Warren Haynes with Hot Tuna thrilling the crowd with I Know You Rider.

Bird Photography Weekly #119

We came upon an entire flock of cedar waxwings enjoying berries in a tree. There must have been at least 30 of them and I took countless photos. I happened to select this one to post this week because I love the way the feathers on his head look like hair standing on end. He also seems to have a bit of an annoyed or indignant expression.




For links to other beautiful bird photos, check for links in the comment section here.



Edit... I've been given reason to suspect that this might be a Bohemian Waxwing rather than a Cedar Waxwing. Perhaps a knowledgeable visitor can shed some light on the correct id.

Round Robin Challenge - Before and After

This weeks Round Robin Challenge is self explanatory.

My other creative hobby involves quilting and textile art.


Before: A pile of scrap fabric strips




After: A quilted wallhanging. It was fun playing around with the squares in different ways to come up with a design. The options for combining shapes made with these types of strips are endless. I'll probably be doing more of these.




Here are the links to all the other Round Robin participants. I hope you'll visit them all.

That's My World Tuesday...Nov 30, 2010

This red tail has been frequenting our back yard over the last few days. I think he's stalking the squirrels that stalk my birdfeeders.

Scenic Sunday #124 - View of Hohenschwangau

Last Sunday, I posted a photo of the fantasy Neuschwanstein Castle which sits high above the neighboring village.



Today's photo was taken from a window in Neuschwanstein, of the beautiful valley below. Nestled in the Alps we see nearby, 19th century Hohenschwangau palace, the childhood summer home of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. After the death of his father King Maximillian II, Ludwig resided in Hohenschwangau while overseeing the construction of Castle Neuschwanstein.

That's My World Tuesday...

I've been doing a lot of sewing this week. I did a long overdue cleanup of my work area, then promptly messed it all up again.
