The concert was about familiar cartoon tunes we all grew up with like the Rabbit of Seville,

and the original Smurf theme song, and other composed music from Rossini, Schubert, and Liszt.

a short note about the photo above…

In search of the “Super Moon” I was looking to the

east side….. waiting for the moon to show .

Looking to the east and then I looked to west….

The Sun.. this was the view from my point of view ,

I am facing west looking at the sun… and just over the border to Mexico.

Amazing… just astonished…. and really was not expecting to see the sun in it’s

full glory. The Moon from my point was not all that big…not at least from where I was

standing… but I am so glad…. I got a photo of the Sun… way larger than the moon.

As if the Sun and Moon were competing about who would show the biggest.

Duck at the lake

Palm tree – I always find interesting features and details when Photographing Palm trees

What is left of a trunk from a dead tree – lots of details and textures on wood

dried up sunflower – also offers lots of detail even if it not in color.

The following photographs were taken at floor level . Imagine if I was a bug or a small

animal …… is this how the world would look like?

Waters edge – at floor level….. Interesting angle I might add. Looks like if I am in the water.

Could this be the view of the birds that float on it???
