moby dick.

Today I finished an order of painting stretchers and panels for Saundra. Here I am using a hand miter box because the sides she wanted for the panels were larger than my miter saw could handle. I don't use the hand miter box too often. It does a better job than the electric miter saw. I kept thinking that the miter box saw (on the right in the picture) the way it looks all scarred and stained, reminds me for some unknown reason of Moby Dick - the whale, not the book - noming it's way through the wood. I started laughing about that and sawed harder. I couldn't remember the music from the movie to sing along with the sawing though. Where do I get this stuff?

nasturtium.

Very interesting structures inside the nasturtium blossom. I think nasturtiums are knockouts, especially the big round leaves and their slender, thread-like stems. The florets in the lower right are a pelargonium (geranium).
