The Parting Shot for June 10, 2012 1

The young scientist and inventor suddenly realized that his first trial of teleporting an animate object along with an inanimate object still had some kinks in it after he tried to teleport his dog, Nipper, and his antique RCA Victor-Victrola together.

~or~

When Spot was practicing for his upcoming audition to be the next RCA dog, Nipper, he did not know that the cone was actually supposed to be the horn on the old Victor-Victrola phonograph.

~or~

Rex hated it when his master would have one too many when friends came over, pulling out his old cone to put on him to play, “Look, it’s Nipper!”

~or~

Left penniless after Fifi divorced him for sniffing another dog’s butt, Butch would perform his RCA Nipper vaudeville act on the street corner hoping that someone would eventually toss him a bone.

I have no idea who created this, but I love it. Having loved books and nature my whole life, it would be a dream to actually find something like this, clean it up, renovate/restore – but keep as much original as possible, put some sort of glass enclosure above the tree, and make this room my home. With a computer, of course….

Photo I took of Seattle from the top of the Space Needle. This was taken a few years ago with a point-and-shoot pocket camera. I applied a tilt-shift photography affect with Photoshop to give it the look of being a miniature model. The ship in the Puget is where I think you can best see the tilt-shift affect.

The tilt-shift shows best when you click on the image to view in full size.

Natural phenomenon: Glowing blue waters

Glowing blue water washes up on a beach in Vaadhoo, one of the Raa Atoll islands in the Maldives. The result of a chemical reaction called bioluminescence, it occurs when a micro-organism in sea water is disturbed by oxygen.

NOTE:  I believe there are two dogs here. It looks like a dog’s muzzle and nose on the belly of the Airedale rather than it’s “you-know”… but I just have not been able to figure this one out. If there are two, where are the other four legs? Sure a couple may be hidden behind, but all four? That and/or Photoshop may have helped hide some legs.  Thoughts???

After publishing thought… the more I look at it, I am pretty sure I can see some Photoshop editing where at least one leg may have been. I also think the boom box was added in after the fact, too. Well, regardless, I love this image and kudos to the creator!
