Still Alive

Busy week, and no good photo ops. But I am still thinking of you.

Bumper Sticker Love

Could it Be?

a beautiful day AND a clean house!

The project I put off all week didnt go away on its own. Rats. There was only one thing left to do...

Went hiking with George on Sunday at Mt. Rainier, Paradise Point. It was misty and wet, but the blueberries were ripe and the wildlife was out and about. Captured this guy overlooking his domain.

'Cause They Don't Have....

(...cow...boy....COWBOY LIPS...)


Saw The Bobs this evening with Jason and George. The set was short, because they shared the stage with a local band and a piano player, but it was still good. They did Light My Fire and Fluffy's Master Plan for World Domination, but I was sad and missed Cowboy Lips. Oh well.

I got a new camera, finally -- imitating my brother, I got a Pentax Optio W10, waterproof, 6mp, and with a great macro, which my older camera was lacking. The newest photos on Flickr were all taken with the new toy.

Welcome Back, Winter

A nice rainy drive to work... time to break out the sweaters!

Harvest Moon

There is really nothing in the world quite like being forced to eat mountains of fresh ripe tomatoes.

I Win

It was a long fight, but I emerge triumphant...

Goodnight Moon

A beautiful moon rising over Greenlake on my way home from my lesson.

A Plan to Rid the World of Man

A sign outside a Chinese Restaurant on 45th. Sounds like a pretty good trade to me.

A Song In My Heart

Nevermind that it goes "One and Two and One..." Its that I am practicing that counts, darn it.

Delayed photo from Laura -- I was the Official Space Coordinator for their Door-to-Door box (having the most expeirence, I suppose), and she caught this photo just before we shoved in the mattress and the bike and shut the door. This photo reminds me of that coffee table book from a few years ago that went around the world taking shots of people in front of their houses with all of their belongings.

This Way To Self-Destruction

Salmon headed upstream to breed and die, seen from the fish ladder at Ballard Locks. Not a symbol of either my work nor my love life. Nope, not one bit. Stop laughing.
