Earring 0243 - Kind of "off the wall"

Today my brother and I took a road trip with my "new" but old car. It was a good test run to see how it worked. Well, the first thing was that I couldn't remember how to set the trip meter after filling up the tank. Failed on the mpg test and will have to try it again. It sure has good pickup for a 4 cylinder. The ride is exceptional and probably because it's a German-made car. I had another car that the frame was made in Germany and it handled great just like this one. Have to get used to the quick steering and sure don't want to over steer because I want to stay on the road. Still have to connect to the phone via Bluetooth. Probably should have done it today but I guess packing takes precedence the next two weeks.

A few turkeys walked/ran/flew in front of us.. Sure don't want to hit a turkey. Watched the woods for deer and saw one. It didn't look too healthy, almost like it had mange. Looking for deer reminded me of the website I saw yesterday. There's about 20 photos with a sniper hiding. One of them is really easy to find because you can see his full face. Others were quite well-blended. Now I would like to see how they disguise the trained personnel in a city setting. http://www.weather.com/news/can-you-find-snipers-hiding-these-photos-20141030

My brother said I should send in my photo of the hole in the cloud. We'll see.

Earring 0242 - Holes in the Sky

 
According to weather.com, these clouds are called hole-punched clouds and are supposed to be "rare cloud formations." http://www.weather.com/news/hole-punch-clouds-20130123 The photos above show several different hole-punched clouds all taken within seconds of each other. The top two photos are the same cloud and clearly look like hole-punched clouds. The third photo from the top shows three hole-punched clouds. The bottom photo shows two hole-punched clouds; it's not as easy to see these but they were clearly hole-punched clouds. Every once in a while I've seen clouds where there is a space of blue but I've never seen these type of clouds until today and then to see so many of them. Pretty cool.

These earrings are blue and white and kind of go with the holes in the sky theme.
