Musios

Photographer Steve Midgley’s Facebook photos are pretty amazing.
An album titled Musios is a virtual history of Salt Lake rock acts including photos of the Boxcar Kids, JR Ruppel, Peter Yanowitz and saxaphonist Phil Miller (shown, whose presence always lent a certain mood.)

For the Strange Bird from an Odd Duck

Kudos to me who won the Juror’s Award in the Creative category of the Ogden Nature Center’s annual bird house contest.
Bird Feeder, is wood, paint and brass dating to 2001. I built it one Saturday morning in my back yard with wood scraps left over from the crafty former owners.
I didn’t realize that it [...]
