Verticals are spot on. It’s the box I put up that’s wonky!
I spotted this on the side of a car whilst at a garden centre yesterday and, being such a huge George Michael fan, I had to take a photo.

iPhone snap from my walk yesterday. Totally missed the nice light I saw as I got my iPhone out.
Luna in the outer box that my Mac Pro was shipped in.

Not the current Mac Pro. That thing is huge! Beautiful bit of cardboard engineering though.
Sorry, wasn't clear. It is a 2009 Mac Pro. Still big and heavy - almost 40 pounds, a bit of a struggle getting it up the stairs. I call it The Beast.
I was out and about yesterday and saw a decal on the back of a car showing a playful cat. I should have taken a picture. Missed opportunity, but glad to see someone else took a nice picture of a decal on a car and posted it. ?
Taken in 2006 at Confederation Park, Calgary, AB. This was my original Olympus 3.2MP at 17.4mm (105eq) extension. Given that I did only minimal cropping this pair must have let me get quite close.
Managed to anticipate that Alfred was going to take off and so for once I was ready when he did and got him in the air:
No idea. Never had Netflix. From memory it was from some Victorian folly park.
I took some many photos of the Northern Lights. Hours of post-processing taking place

Not a great photo technically, but interesting story. This was a new hospital in Laredo Texas, The owners, Sisters of Mercy, wanted to add two more floor to the bed towers. They were having so many problems with the general contractor, they wouldn't let him build the two floors, so they hired another contractor to do it and the original contractor finished the roof! We had all kinds of problems with them too. They wouldn't follow our specifications for conduits and back boxes for our Nurse Call components which made it very difficult to install them.
Doves do make one of the nicest sounds in the bird family.
Not sure what variety of doves you show, we have mourning doves here and I love the whistle they make when they fly. Off subject but kinda close. Walking one of my labs this am and got dive bombed by a pair of mocking birds. They obviously have a nest nearby and were doing their best to protect it. Have seen a couple of their egg shells around the neighborhood. Love seeing how nature adjusts to man's incursion in their realm.
I have a pair that visit my feeder and ground below, they are not the smartest birds on block, they are forever walking in the street. You are right about the sound they make. it's fun to see them compete with the house wrens for the feeder, sometimes they are both on there.
Agree about the sound these birds make. Those are wild doves, I imagine.
