I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
My take on the broken theme for week 3. This is a neighbor of mine who is not broken at all -- anything but! But I caught him quasi-napping and processed the crap out of the image to make him look forlorn.
My contribution to the weekly theme: Water Refraction. I actually suggested this one but think I underestimated how tough this was going to be!
UPDATE: As far as setup goes, the myster blue bar up top was a cheerfully donated drinking straw from my little girl! Big thanks to NeilPas for the setup advice actually -- I suspended the straw over a couple of small jars. The biggest help was his advice on adding a little sugar to the water to help keep it more stable -- amazing tip!
My entry for Week 1's "Our House" theme.
I recently moved from the UK to Austin, Texas. Austin is one of my favorite cities in the world -- a wonderful blue island in a sea of red. I lived here for a few years back in the late 90s and feel so fortunate to have been able to return.
This particular cityscape was taken from my office window (I work at Whole Foods Global Support) with my phone!

Nowhere in the Bible does it say exactly three magi came to visit the baby Jesus, nor that they were kings, rode on camels, or that their names were Casper, Melchior and Balthazar. Matthew 2 has traditionally been combined with Isaiah 60:1–3.
60:1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and his glory will be seen upon you.
And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
