So much so i collect them and have a shared blog with one of my best friends who lives abroad where we share our everyday clouds too: http://nube-kumo-nuage.tumblr.com/ maybe you'll like it!

It is hard; I despise it, but when I finish a long hard race, the feeling I have is unbeatable. <BR/><BR/>Travel is another - it is difficult; I don't speak the language; I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing; I am alone; I am scared, but in the end I find the most wonderful things and people. <BR/><BR/>I also love taking photos, especially of odd people or things that I see in the different places I am. Sometimes it is just a photo of the leaves of a certain tree or a funny face a child is making, or poor kids in a third world country dancing in the street and having a great time. <BR/><BR/>I cannot just pick one thing! I have so many passions, so many interests....<BR/><BR/>Here is one of my fave photos:<BR/><BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyriaw/1880773157Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23007644.post-29870506610918855952007-10-24T21:30:00.000-05:002007-10-24T21:30:00.000-05:00Birdsong.

I'm not good at always knowing what bird is calling [Grandma Loo and my Mother knew them all] but I just love the calls. The first wood thrush call, usually around my birthday, enthralls me. The first time I'd hear the male cardinal, "Cheer-Cheer-Cheer", I'd go straight to the phone to call Mother so we could rejoice that spring was near. Early Robins, or those late ones still going thru now, have such a happy chirrup that I just smile. I don't even realize how much I miss that sound until I hear it again sometime in early March.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...tho' I do like clouds almost as much, birdsong knocks me out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23007644.post-43434558458429464752007-10-24T08:09:00.000-05:002007-10-24T08:09:00.000-05:00i love the black and white photos taken of Saturn ...i love the black and white photos taken of Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft.

I guess the painter Constable was famous for his depiction of clouds. Being a painter, in oil and watercolor, Bob is understandably impressed.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>As for me, I like whales. Following a gift of a small wooden whale some years ago, I started collecting----wood, glass, ceramic, pewter, silver, brass...and began a shelf of books on whales, whaling, whaling ship logs. I inherited Clifford Ashley's Yankee Whaler, and also his book on New Bedford ships.<BR/>I'm happy to report I also have whale jewelry, whale towels and pot holders, whale ashtrays, and a special favorite, a fluke on a long chain with matching earrings.<BR/><BR/>I have seen gray whales migrating down the coast, sitting on a cliff in Carmel, Ca. I have seen minkes, humpbacks and fin whales in Cape Cod bay, in Nova Scotia and in the Bay of Fundy.<BR/><BR/>Call me odd--or Ishmael if you like--but I love whales. Listen to Paul Winter as he sings like the humpbacks on his saxaphone.<BR/>Beauteous.<BR/><BR/>Who's next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
