Lonely
A tiny visitor to my backyard fence. I know nothing about birds, but I believe this is a sparrow.

Affectionate Asparagus
The asparagus seems to be caressing the pitcher. Romance aside, we ate it for dinner. One of my first attempts with the D-40 in natural light. POTD, 01/09/03 LazyGecko.net

Cracked Bubbles
This is the back of an antique doll that was left in our house when we bought it. She is in pieces. Obviously, her name is/was "Bubbles". She is dated 1924, which means this little lady is 88 years old!

Shovel In Afternoon Light
The sun was shining in such a weird way that I ran to the car and grabbed my camera. Weird natural light, no post processing except for the drop shadow frame effect.

Rag Time Music Machine
This piano is practically solid brass on the inside. The date stamped in that brass is 1895, and we still play this thing! Got it for $450, and what a bargain that was! Almost the same price as the camera!

"A Toad's Umbrella"
Took this with the camera lying on the ground. After posting it I see that the left side is a bit 'blown out'. I will have to fix that in PS!

Goya T 14 (1967) Serial #355614
Taken from a Harmony Central User Review:
"Made in Sweden in 1967 by the Goya company -- imported by the Levin company. Hagestrom also imported using the Goya name during this time -- but this one is actually a Goya made by Goya.
It has an Alpine Spruce top with polished mahogany back and sides, white double binding, a rosewood fret-board and bridge, and a bone nut and saddle. The tuners are covered and a unique shape I have only ever seen on this guitar and in the Goya catalog.
It is a "Concert Size" which means it is slightly smaller than a standard dreadnaught, but larger than a parlor size. It has a full scale neck.
It is finished with a french polish (shellac) that has mellowed nicely.
A pretty but unassuming little instrument.
Absolutely fabulous sounding guitar. Woody, mellow, throaty. Perfect for either blues, blue-grass, or folk guitar. Sounds like hot-chocolate in front of a raging fire. The closest I have experienced was a Martin from the 1930's.
The sound is its best feature -- what else really matters? Oh -- I know what else matters -- I didn't have to spend thousands on a vintage martin to get the sound. <> I'll probably pass it on just like I pass on all guitars -- gotta keep them circulating ..."

Deconstruction; Then, a cigarette break.
Technically, this is an AWFUL photo, but I was so worried that spackle dust was going to get in my lens I just snapped it as quickly as I could!

This was supposed to be my June 1st PAD, but I posted the wrong shot. I like this image better, because I included the window, and I like the way the shadows fall on the shade.
