I CAN'T GET NO RELIEF...

I came across this Relief on an, otherwise, unassuming house. I thought the way the Sun light interacted with the color of the wall made for an interesting photo. At any rate, It is obvious what the address is.

SLIP OUT THE BACK, JACK

Just a few more hours and they'll be safe. Best holiday wishes to all!

BLACK CLOUD

Sometimes life just isn't fair. After a horrendous night's sleep, I got out of bed, tripped over the dog, stumbled into the kitchen only to find that we were out of coffee. Well, 'it can't get any worse', I said to myself as I headed out to get my morning paper. I guess you can tell how the rest of the day went from the photo of my car. Yep! No paper, either.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A SAIL

Here is a photo of a man, a dog, and a giant kite. It's actually a pavilion in the downtown area. It plays host to Art Fairs, Exhibitions, music, Octoberfest celebrations, and the ubiquitous Christmas Carolers. I think the dog is just happy no one is around to bother him.

MR. CLEAN

Just another of those very strange dogs of Michigan. I don't have access to my house for a couple of days, so back into the archives I go. This particular guy was just finishing sprucing up his house when I asked if I could take his picture. He said he wouldn't mind but he looked a little 'ruff' at the moment.

WHAT RECESSION?

So, here is what was opposite yesterday's post. The Oasis Of The Seas. She is the newest and largest cruise ship in the world. This photo was taken thru a fence with dogs nipping at my heals. Security is rather tight in the port these days, making closer shots difficult. She arrived four days ago from Finland. Her maiden voyage will be on December 5. She has a crew of 2,165, 16 decks, a carousel, an Aqua Theater, a mini golf course, 4 swimming pools, a park with 1200 plants and 56 trees to name but a few of the attractions. The photo below (taken by Amy Bennett) shows her arrival into port. If you click the above link, you will be directed to the official Oasis site with more photos and videos. In case you happen to be wondering what her price tag was, try $1.5 billion U.S. Even I can't think of anything to say after that.

NO HOLIDAY DELIVERY?

I came upon this mailbox by accident. While shooting tomorrow's post, I turned around to find this pretty strange mailbox. Very patriotic and certainly one of a kind. I wonder if the people who live here get preferential treatment? Come back tomorrow to see what he is staring at.
