Nature and Harmony

I took some nature photos on a morning recently...here are a couple. Aren't you glad God placed such beauty in this world?

The dewdrops sparkled like diamonds in the morning sun
But our eyes were looking ahead and we trod them underfoot, not realizing what treasures lay beneath our feet... 

Diamonds Underfoot

Bliss

                      Droplets At Dawn I often like harmony in music...some of my favorite artists, such as BarlowGirl, do harmony very well. Recently while searching for songs by Michelle Tumes on YouTube, I discovered someone who is great at singing harmony; here's the video I first saw/heard her in (it's one of my favorites of hers - perhaps you'll think it's very pretty as well): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anvfr6JgVoM&feature=plcp
Sleepthief is another who features some great harmonies (mainly by layering a single female vocalist's voice many times); here's one Sleepthief song (a duet) in which you can hear some amazing vocals that sounds great together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYDtUYtGc5I&list=UULM3uDRM-SGaiBe5hLUno9w&index=8&feature=plcp

Musing

Musing Yes, this isn't particularly interesting and doesn't have any real meaning behind it...it's just a regular self-portrait. Did you know that taking selfies without a wireless remote is quite difficult? It can be really hard to get the focus where you're going to be... Anyway, I enlisted in the Navy recently and I'll be going to boot camp next February...so now I have to get in better shape (mainly be able to run a mile-and-a-half in 12 minutes or less) and memorize some things. I also got a job a bit ago - I'm working at a pharmacy called Super D. Unhelpfully, the compnay was bought by Walgreens recently and there's a Walgreens store down the street from where I work, so my location is closing soon...and when it does I'll have to find a new job. :P Anyway, other than the Chick-Fil-A 5k run in Memphis I did on Labor Day (I got an incredibly slow time of 29:40), there's not much else that's happened to me recently that's worth mentioning. Oh, and there was some clouds and lightning from a storm recently. Expect more pictures soon. The Sky's Wrath
