Okay, done my duty. Got to the polls about 20 minutes before opening, and was out by 7:30. Like honeyandvinegar, I kissed the ballot before handing it over. (But I didn't feel silly, 'cause I do that all the time. Like, with mail I send out.) There was a nice buzz in the air; everybody felt good getting out to support our tenuous image of democracy!

So, having done the deed, and for everyone who would like a little break from the politico, I present a picspam to relax to:

























































Enjoy!

Gorgeous picspam.

Will be following developments tonight from across the pond.

:D

God, that bird near the top in the water. Never seen such a thing. And nebulas! *drools*

I liked kissing my ballot. :)

I approve your icon.

(And I like your pictures too!)

My favorite is the white owl - that is absolutely gorgeous.

Cast my vote two weeks ago - now to wait for the results!

Yay for nebulae!

They're among my favorite desktop pics.

If you're into space pics, here's the place to go: NASA's Astronomy Pic of the Day. Always something amazing there. Click on "archive" near the bottom, and you'll get several years worth of incredible stuff.

Cross your fingers for us!

*grin* Well, it was made by a very cool lady.

I always vote on the day, no matter the wait. I just feel more participatory that way. :)

Wow pretty pictures indeed! The wave is wonderful and the yellow ducks are so sweet.

[lisabellex.livejournal.com]

Yup, keeping 'em crossed!

I've been there before--abso-gorgeous. I believe they had stuff up about Jupiter not too long ago, with some of the closest/clearest pics ever taken from Earth (from somewhere in South America, I think). Jupe's my space-subject of choice lately.

I'm coming back later and stealing all these...cute, sweet, beautiful - you've hit 'em all, babe.

I did that when I mailed mine 2 weeks ago...and I too approve your icon.

Those are amazing pics - thanks so much for sharing those!!

That duck (at least I think it's a duck) is so incredibly colorful - gorgeous.

[biting-moopie.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful, thank you!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Absolutely gorgeous, all of them but my favourite is the second one. Thanks for the lovelies!

That picspam is so beautiful that it's turning me teary. The baby ducks, especially, remind me of the day I fell in love with ducklings as a toddler. But quite apart from that, what a wonderful tribute to the sheer, unfettered beauty that is Life.

Thank you.
