Another beautiful flower covered in raindrops.

Taken last week at my neighbor's house just after a brief morning rainshower.

PolarClock

I've always been fascinated by clocks and even more so by all the types on the 'net, from simple javascripts to the unique ones such as this PolarClock.

Also available as a screensaver for Mac or Windows as well as a Dashboard Widget.

# 1 Song on This Date in History

(from the website)

What was the #1 song on ...
- the day you were born?
- the day you graduated from high school?
- the day you were married?
- the day your child was born?
- the approximate date you were conceived?

Straight Up

Groom Cross
Sat. July 21

Never had taken a shot from this perspective and really wanted to lie on my back and take one, but...there were SO many people around and I was gathering a few curious views as I did my usual crawling around the statues, getting up close and personal.

I snapped this single shot with the "generic setting", not even taking time to frame it properly as you can see how I cut off a foot of the upper right cross arm of the structure.
