Happy #FloralFriday from the Dominican Republic
As you can imagine, there are a lot of beautiful flowers in the Dominican Republic. It seems that most of my photos from my recent vacation are either flowers or fish. My wife and I decided to purchase a waterproof point&shoot camera for our next trip to the DR. Her brother’s waterproof Kodak did a pretty good job. I’m almost done selecting photos and making captions for a post of my vacation.
19 inches of snow, Superb Owl Sunday
My friends in the UK say it’s snowing. My Canadian friends and I say, “that’s cute”. The side streets are still messed up. My MINI Cooper would have been no match. I got it beached in the snow once. Even my Touareg TDI with AWD briefly got stuck in the alley. I was tempted to buy snow tires. When I was a kid in Michigan, everyone had snow tires and at least one bag of sand or salt in their trunk or boot at my British friends say. I don’t have a bag of sand or salt in my VW but I have a small shovel. I had to use it to dig out a Camry. That wasn’t the workout I wanted on my way to work.
Tree Frog – Deastro on Moondagger
Yes it’s hard for me to break down
All these bridges that i’ve built
Yes it’s hard for me to expose
All the innocence i’ve killed
And everything looks fine
To those who can’t see
But my darling you’ve
Still got the very best parts of me
The world needs you girl
Don’t be frightened
The world needs you girl
Don’t be scared
Hard looks
Softer hearts
The call of god
His hidden cost
Isaac you were
The chosen one
To prove this battle
Is far from won

Best male falsetto?
Peter Lindelauf asks is there any better falsetto than Randy Meisner on Take it to the limit.

I say Freddie Mercury on You take my breath away is my pick.

Although I like all types of music, well except country music, let’s limit this to rock. I’d probably vote for Prince if we include R&B/Pop.
Examples:
Roger Taylor on Somebody to Love – backing vocals

Rick Wright on Echoes

Jeff Buckley on Last Goodbye

edit if you agree with Peter Lindelauf, please select other and give a plus on his post. I’m limited to 5 options and I’m a jerk because I didn’t include Randy.
12 Dec #FloralFriday .
We have one orchid that’s trying bud. The Christmas cacti are about to bloom. Other than that, not much going on for flowers.
