22. kata wrote: Sir David Brewster named his invention from the greek words kalos (beautiful), eidos (form or shape) and scopeo (to look to, to observe). So, kaleidoscope means "to view beautiful forms". |

24. chelydra wrote: gosh... Do pictures that premiere on Saturday mornings get ten times the attention of those that come out on Tuesday nights or something? I know this one's pretty good but I really don't think it's THIS good! Glad you do tho! |

26. Login wrote: Aw c'mon! You knew this would leap out of the gallery ... not only is it wonderful to gaze upon, the PB is an art lesson. |
27. chelydra wrote: Well, okay, at the tiniest (updates) size, I'm as impressed as anyone... Full-size, though, the dead colors and mishandled shirt & tie are pretty annoying. |
28. chelydra wrote: And speaking of the playback, about 1/4 pf the way in you can catch a glimpse of how good it might have been |
29. chelydra wrote: So (still replying to Login) I think the lesson is that we you find yourself with a bold, powerful beginning, don't chicken out and start fussing, but try to keep going at the same level of fearless intensity. |
30. chelydra wrote: how did "if" turn into "we"? My typos are getting more and more mind-boggling as I descend into my dotage... |
