Outer Vision / the Magic of Seeing - Parlez Vous Monday

 

Monday Morning Open Thread

 

Hello and welcome to another week. Time to come out from our hiding places and deal.

Sunday Evening ⚽️T

It's 🍁vs🦘 sometime tomorrow/ today depending on your hemisphere. Both teams need a win to be sure of going through to the knock-out rounds. Exciting stuff!  

Skip to 2:00 for Linda Caicedo's amazing goal from earlier today. Look at this kid shoot! The crowd goes wild! (She needed medical attention about 10 min after the goal, but she's ok.)

Still sick. Spent the weekend watching ⚽️. It's going to be an early night.
 

The Photo Gallery

 

It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Good morning ☀️

 

The endless hot days of summer are flying by, one after another.

Thursday evening open thread

 I've got mostly nothing. It's not hellaciously hot here (my feet are actually cold), but it is muggy and unpleasant, so I'm debating whether or not I should turn on the a/c just to dry things out.

Appropos of nothing; if the shoe fits ...

Sunday Evening OT

 It's been a stressful few days. Here's the photo I was going to share for FFF if I hadn't been busy at the vet. There were three little fawns in this little family, but this little guy was the only one who came close enough for a good photo.

OK, maybe not geometric enough, but somehow the colours at least make me think of Mondrian rendering a portrait of Beckett. Who of course deserves portratiture by every great painter ever. So ... Tuesday. How's everyone doing? I smoocha you all.
