These signs = serious business
(In an attempt to make my site a bit less cluttered and enable me to post larger pictures, I’ve made some changes to my blog design and layout. Feel free to go to the main page and check it out, and then leave some comments here or whereever on the changes! I like feedback!) :-) [...]

Hurrying through the last of the summer
I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Street chalk art. Of a street. :-)
Today I took a walk with a friend down to Fremont Park for the 20th annual Chalk It Up festival. I went last year with my big camera and took a bunch of pictures, but this year I just took my cameraphone. Low-key, casual, and still a whole lot of fun. I don’t know what [...]
The urban forest in which I live
The urban forest in which I live, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. When I first moved to Sacramento, I must have heard at least a dozen times the statement that this is the second most treed city in the world after Paris. I don’t know how true that is, but I like driving past downtown on [...]
Herbie goes to Sacramento
Y’all seen the Herbie movies? The REAL ones, not the cheezy knock-off from a few years back? I always loved those movies. I’ve seen this car on my way home from work a handful of times, but I’ve never been able to get a picture of it before. Today two fortunate events conspired to help [...]
Art in neon
Neon sign on the MAARS building a couple of blocks from me, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This is a sign on the MAARS building a couple of blocks from my apartment. I’ve been meaning to take a picture of this sign ever since I moved to this town–there’s something I really like about it. Even [...]
I love Tower Bridge
(Pssst — go to the main page of my blog and check out my new header pics, then leave a comment here letting me know what you think!) :-) One of Sacramento’s more distinct landmarks is the lovely art deco Tower Bridge, which spans the Sacramento River and leads to the state Capitol building. While [...]
Fire dancing
I took some pictures of the fire dancer at Second Saturday a couple of nights ago–she was using a hula hoop internally lit by colored LEDs that had flaming wands attached to it. She was absolutely AMAZING. More pictures are in the gallery here. Oh, and these were intentionally long exposures–I wanted a motion blur. [...]
Neighborhood night life
I never thought I’d enjoy living downtown in a large largish city, but know what? I really really do. Yeah, I hate it when the garbage truck shows up at 5:00 in the morning to empty the dumpster in the alley behind my bedroom. I’m not a big fan of the hipsters that hang out [...]
