Where or When

Welcome to my personal blog, since 2012. All images copyright 2019Scott Gatty. The thing that has fascinated me most in life is Time, the passage of it and my relationship to it as I age. When I think my life, those of relatives, past and present,especially in regards to historical events, become very aware of the Fluidity of Time. I was born in 1957; the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, was put into orbit by the Commies when I was four months old and set off a panic here....the first Pink Flamingo lawn ornament rolled off the assembly line; "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was first published, by Dr. Seuss, Burt Bacharach joined with lyracist Hal David to create some wonderful songs and five days after I was born, John Lennon was introduced to Paul McCartney in Germany Plants, the other major form of life we share this planet with, but very few of our species treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve. We hear of animal rights, thank God, but not enough of plant rights. I remind people: we need them, for the air we breathe and the food we eat, they're not dependent upon us. Thanks for visiting. "Where or When" is a song by the team of Rogers and Hart. Lorenz Hart was a gifted lyricist, who happened to be gay, and a tragic figure,who wrote lyrics to some of the most beautiful and romantic love songs I've ever heard. The wonderful melodies were composed by Richard Rogers, before he teamed up with Hammerstein.

I have a pt job where I get to watch previews (!)

I saw this a month ago and it's got a good screenplay and the acting was impressive. I'm glad films like this are still being made.

Okay, this one is more representative of a Midwest sky than my previous one. No contrast adjustments were made.

Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains around Pittsburgh, I never had expansive views like this. You'd only know a storm was coming, well, when it was right overhead.

I DO miss hearing the sound of thunder literally bounce off one hillside, to another miles away and on and on....sigh

From my patio, believe it or not, in a burb (!) The other one is from closer to the pond.

A creepy or maybe just mysterious image. Either way; the wonderfully primeval mating call of the Chorus Frog. Every spring, for at most four weeks...

Oh, and but a piece of my upcoming projects! Eek.

I read once many years ago, we're all a product of our time.

It sounds more poetic if one says, we reflect the times in which we grew up.

April 23, 1971. 13 years old. Fifty-five years and four days. Thanks Wiki.

Contrast between foliage indoors and outdoors. The spiny Acacia branches indoors were reflected whilst I was outside for a fun effect.

Marigolds in my van.

I've been testing out adding greenscreen footage into Unreal, but compressing it to look like it's a 90s FMV game

When I was very young, I wanted to live in a greenhouse...

A super-duper Polygonium fern variety, next to a Boston Fern, and per usual in my home, a column (Ionic).
