A post in honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day

Even though it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I'm not going to write in Pirate-ese. While I know the intention is to be silly, I still feel a bit too silly to do so. So instead I'll post the pictures I took this summer in London of the replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind that sits on the →


Reno Balloon Race, Day 2

Here are the rest of the pictures from the Reno Balloon Race. I didn't take nearly as many on Sunday, mostly because I wanted to just sit in one place (ok, more or less) and enjoy.

Anyway, I had to post just one picture while I'm working on processing the rest of →
