FacebookItsy bitsy… OMG KILL IT WITH FIRE
John found this on our doorstep yesterday, so of course I had to break out the macro lens. :-)
Damn cat… we’ll miss you
Yesterday (well, in relative terms -- depends on what time zone you're in, I guess) I was getting ready to leave the hostel for the airport, and I signed online to check in for my flight, and there was an email from John saying that our cat Scout had gotten out and had been hit by a car, and he →
Singapore Trip Day 4: Nocturnal Edition
A little preface to my post -- if you're in Sacramento, head on down to Mondo Bizzaro (on 19th and I St. next to Ace Hardware) for Second Saturday. I'm (obviously) not going to be there, but five of my photos will be!! My most awesome boyfriend John took them over and helped hang them on Thursday, and took this →
Moose + kitten = CUTE OVERLOAD
Someone dumped a litter of four kittens in a box at the barn yesterday, and while I didn't manage to be one of the lucky four to get to take one home (not that we need a THIRD cat anyway) at least Moose got to pose with one. OMG MOOSE LOVE!!!!!! Seriously, I can't stand the cuteness here. By the way, while →
You all know the tune, even if you don’t know the name
The following post was John's idea. Ok, the pictures were my idea, but when John saw them, he got the idea for the post itself. First, go click on this link (it'll open a new window), and click play on the video. Close your eyes for a moment. Let it wash over you. Open them for a minute and look at the →
The Interloper
I do realize that today is Tuesday, and as such, I should have a Moose post online. But honestly, this past couple of weeks have been so crazy that unless you want to see a picture of the gnarly nasty ear infection he had, there's just nothing for Tuesday Mooseday. Sad, I know. But trust me, you did NOT want to →
Pat the bunny
The little girl in these pics is the same one on the miniature horse in this post from last October, my first Tuesday Mooseday. She was out at the barn with her pet rabbit last Thursday, and this rabbit had to be the absolutely most quiet, patient rabbit I've ever seen -- it was perfectly content to just curl up →
Discarded.
EDIT: Click here for the latest on the dog, now named Amá, the Navajo word for mother. A HUGE HUGE thanks to SacPaws, For Paws Hospice, and Lisa Howard of the Sac Bee for helping make this happen!! ******* On my way to work every morning, I take a sort of convoluted back way in order to avoid two horrible left turn →
All right Mr. De Mille, I’m ready for my closeup
. . . . . . . .
Baby it’s cold outside
Frosty morning at the barn -- these are actually ones that didn't make the cut from my 10 on 10 last week, so I thought I'd post them now. . . . . Brrrrrrr. .
Sorry Moose, you’ve just moved down a notch on the cuteness ladder
The stall right across the barn aisle at Moose's barn has been occupied by a pregnant goat for over a month now, and I've been checking every time I've been out there to see if she'd had her kids yet. Well, I missed the birth (Saturday evening) but I got to go out there yesterday and see the wee little →
Help me pick a 2010 picture of the year!
I meant to post this on Saturday, but I ended up posting those fireworks pictures instead, because I liked how they turned out. So here is my second and last "year in review" post --help me pick a "best picture of 2010" shot by posting in the comments with the number of the one you like. :-) Here's a link →
The sock thief
While I don't mention them very often on here, we have two cats -- Jem (black cat) and Scout (tortoiseshell), named after the brother and sister in the book To Kill A Mockingbird. Hey, I was an English major! Like their namesakes, they're brother and sister, and we got them from a feral cat rescue about a year and →
December 2008 – When I bought a macro lens and was trying to figure out how to use it
Either we're stuck in a time warp, or I still don't have my laptop back yet. I'll let you guess which one is correct. The good news is that I think the dinner that's owed me has worked its way up to five-star status at this point. :-D (If you're confused as to what I'm talking about, check out yesterday's →
November 10 on 10: Daily Grind
So I decided to do 10 on 10 this month, which is a photo challenge where, on the 10th day of each month, you take one picture each hour for ten consecutive hours. I got the idea from Kim's September post, but I opted to skip October because, while it was a weekend, I spent most of the day studying. →
A little running music
I know I'm always looking for excuses to cop out of my morning runs, but on a beautiful morning like yesterday, stopping to take pictures wasn't so much an excuse as a necessity. I had my cameraphone with me (acting as a music player and route tracker)as I ran down through Old Sacramento and across the Tower Bridge to Raley →
Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999
I hope I managed to infect at least one of you with a Prince earworm via my post title. :-) Yesterday morning I was getting ready for work, and in my typical ADD fashion suddenly decided it was time to copy 11 years worth of pictures off of an external hard drive and onto my laptop so that I could take →
Euro Trip Day 40: Getting to indulge my love of Gothic cathedrals AND geology, all in the same day!
AKA, Why I'm the biggest nerd EVER. :-) On Wednesday we headed up to Prague Castle to check out St. Vitus Cathedral, a HUGE Gothic cathedral. Now, I've known since my freshman year of high school in Spanish class, when we learned about Santiago de Compostela in Spain, that I've been fascinated by cathedral architecture. But if I've learned one thing →
Milo the Screech Owl
Milo the Screech Owl, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This little cutie is Milo, a Western Screech Owl and a resident at the Discovery Museum of Sacramento. John's nephews (ages 9 and 11) spent the night last night, and since it was pouring rain today and we didn't want to do anything outside, we took them to the museum instead. It was →
Ok, so I FINALLY finished uploading those Costa Rica pictures…
Costa Rica 139, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. These are leaf cutter ants, quite possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Seriously. I finally finished uploading my Costa Rica pictures, and blog posts will be forthcoming (no, seriously--they will! I just don't know when!) Right now though I'm working on more photo processing--I have the use of a micro four-thirds camera →
I caught you a partridge, but I eated it
In case you don't get the reference in the post title, it's this internet meme. A veterinarian friend of mine is holding a 12 Days of Petmas roundup on her blog, and I volunteered to take Day 4 (4 calling birds, in case you don't remember the song.) So this evening I decided to take some pictures... I'm not sending her →
My crazy-colored cat
Alert kitty is alert, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I had another post all queued up for this blog earlier this week, but it broke my HTML, and until I get around to figuring out WHY, this ridiculously cute cat will have to suffice. :-) She was sitting up on my bed, staring out the window at the birds on the telephone →
My leopard, let me show you him
Randomness 015, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I went to the Sac Zoo again this year for Smithsonian's Free Museum Day a couple of weeks ago, and took this. Isn't he gorgeous? I love this shot. :-)
