Stars

First of three Disneyworld quickies... The most familiar landmark at Epcot (the big ball) actually has an interesting star-system built right into its geometric design. I didn't realize how beautiful and perfect this design is until I later looked closer at this shot and saw stars.

Or, as only songwriter Don McLean could tell it...

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

My quest for a new DSLR is now well-settled into the Nikon constellation; I'm going after a D80.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
