Hey, I got mentioned in today's Sac Bee with regards to my blog post yesterday -- go check it out!! :-) I actually talked to them via phone yesterday for about ten minutes -- the reporter emailed me after seeing my blog post. It's nice to read that article and be reminded that not everyone feels that it's a miserable →
Gone like the passenger pigeon
Poor little passenger pigeon. Once one of the most abundant birds in the world, the poor little thing was hunted to extinction in the 19th and early 20th centuries. I remember learning about it back in around the 3rd grade or so, and being utterly horrified. Anyway, the purpose of this reference wasn't to depress you, but rather to make note →
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 →
Top 10 of 2010
In the vein of both Dooce and Pawcurious, I've decided to compile a list of my favorite posts from this past year. This should have been not hideously difficult, given that I didn't blog much if at all for a fair amount of the year (I somehow only managed ONE post in August -- can you believe it?) but yet →
Maui Day 4: In which I finally make it snorkeling
I was a bit behind on one of my favorite webcomics, but I decided to catch up last night, and when I saw this one from Monday, I had to laugh. ~ Because I finally made it snorkeling yesterday, there's a dearth of pictures, or at least compared to my usual, ummm, overkill? I freely admit that I have a bit of →
Take Five. I mean ten. December 10 on 10.
The idea of 10 on 10 is to, on the 10th day of every month, take ten pictures -- one each hour for ten hours. It's a "snapshot of daily life" kind of thing. :-) ~~~ For some reason, I woke up yesterday with Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" stuck in my head--I'm not sure why, but the first thing I did when →
Zoom zoom!!
Back in September, I bought two used lenses from the most wonderful lensrentals.com. I honestly can't plug this company enough -- I've rented from them numerous times, and now I've bought three pieces of equipment from them, and they have fantastic customer service and an excellent-quality product. Anyway, about a week after I bought the lenses from them (they rotate out →
No parking
This is actually a recycled picture. While I can't remember if I've run it on this blog before, it's one that I took about a year and a half ago of a sign on an old garage in an alley a few blocks from my old house. Why the recycle? Because it's the first picture I've sold on Etsy! Go →
