    We maintain a couple of poles out in the garden for... well... whomever feels like sittin' atop them.
    Today, it was a red-shouldered hawk. Light wasn't great, but I had a good view of it.

    bird flew from pole to pole; it was out there hangin' out, lookin' for prey, for 20 minutes or more.

    This one randomly showed up on our fence. Never seen this type of bird. They certainly aren't native to the suburbs or city.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Left side is a human lung. Right side is a tree.

    The tree breathes in what the lung breathes out. The lung breathes in what the tree breathes out.

    God's design is incredible.

    Did he receive an (or is it the) OBE or suchlike?
    I have to say, he has aged more gracefully than many of his peers -- although he was very young (16, IIRC) when he started out in the Spencer Davis Group.

    oh... ahem... something from hifihaven.org for your inner 12-year-old. :P
