Some of the herbs I'm growing are taking longer than I expected to sprout. These 3 are slowly coming along: Tarragon Dill Thyme SOAKED SEEDS I soaked these seeds overnight before planting but only the oregano sprouted. The sage and chives did not sprout. Oregano : Oregano Closeup : The basil is going well. So is the parsley.

This photograph is from a  great photography blog I just discovered called  Reflections of an Amateur Photographer.

I have no idea what's going on in this illustration. It seems to be a medical facility.  It's funny but it looks just like the procedure you go through for a modern MRI. The doctors and technicians are just dressed in a different style of uniforms and lab coats. The information is coming out from the top of the device as the man is slid into the machine.

Above is my finished project. This is my original photo. It's not too focused and a bit faded. I created this photo effect with the on-line FotoFlexer site:  free image editing direct in your browser - Pixlr.com Here is the image in a different frame.

I'll see what I can do with a point-and-shoot camera and free editing tools.

Here's another oldie my wife was listening to while in the shower.   Enjoy!
