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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

Full moon over a Midtown mural
Full moon over a Midtown mural, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I’m actually using this as a test post–I’ve got someone helping me fix a couple of broken things on my website, so this is to see if that works or not. Carry on, not much to see here. :-) .
Fun with my cameraphone and in-phone processing
I know I’ve been totally MIA lately with regards to this blog. I’ve been working on a HUGE report project for work, and I’ve routinely been putting in 14+ hour days. Yes, I’m getting paid extra for this–it’s going in my trip fund for this summer. And it’s an interesting project–frustrating, but challenging. I thought [...]

2009 October storm time lapse
2009 October storm Originally uploaded by Kari_Marie Time lapse video shot at 30-second intervals from out my front window of that epic storm we had last week. Unfortunately less interesting than I’d hoped. Only things I found of note were the small tree branch that falls by the white car around 2/3 of the way [...]

Hanging out at the park
I live three blocks from one of the awesomest parks ever–it has a duck pond and a library and everything. I totally love it–it’s what made me want to move to my neighborhood in the first place. So I was there last week hanging out and taking pictures, and stumbled upon this guy, who ever-so-nicely [...]
Camouflage
Look closely. See anything interesting? . . . . I was walking along the shoreline at the duck pond at McKinley Park last week, looking for some baby wood ducks who will make an appearance in a later post, and somehow, the faintest bit of movement in the above-pictured reeds caught my attention. I looked, [...]
