CAN YOU SEE IT?

This is New Bedford Standard-Times photographer Mike Valeri's photo in which some readers see a likeness of an angel (AP).

NEW BEDFORD, Mass.- Newspaper photographer Mike Valeri thought he had a good shot of a cloudy sunset over Padanaram Harbor. Readers of The Standard-Times of New Bedford saw something more heavenly. Laura Morse called to congratulate Valeri for capturing an angel floating in the clouds. Valeri hadn't noticed the angelic figure before, but was swayed when he checked his negatives and the image seemed even clearer. The newspaper ran the photo again Oct. 18 and asked readers what they thought. Valeri said one woman said it reminded her of the spirit she claims she saw leaving her young daughter as she died last year. The paper has been flooded with requests for copies. Proceeds of the sale will go toward a Christmas fund for needy families.

    Cobi, a five-year-old French poodle, wears a traditional French costume for a canine celebration of Bastille Day.

    Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the hated Bastille Prison in Paris in 1789. Some say it is the equivalent of Independence Day (4th of July) in the United States, although dogs in the U.S. don't usually dress up for the occasion.
