Senior picture time
I do intend to finish my trip journal at some point… and I also plan to get through my trip pics… somehow. All 36 GB of them. I will. Honest. Anyway, in the meantime, I had the privilege last Saturday of going down to Old Sac to meet up with a former student (he’s attending [...]

Threat Matrix
I have a bad habit of flipping off inanimate objects when I’m irritated with them. And since I’m weird and like to chronicle random moments, I’m slowly accruing a small gallery of pictures of me flipping things off. This prompted a friend today to tease me about it, asking me if I was going to [...]
Oil drops on wet pavement
Cool pictures of mundane things: oil drops on the parking lot at my bank, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I stopped at the bank today and saw this and had to stop in the middle of the parking lot to take the picture. I think the people walking by thought I was a bit odd… Oh [...]

The best camera is the one you have with you
Leaves: A hundred thousand reasons why I love fall. :-), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I snapped this picture of a tree outside of my work this morning with my cameraphone. I wanted to just stand there and stare at the tree, to watch the morning light play over it. Instead, I had to content myself [...]

Senior day pics013 (Custom), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I took this picture last May at our senior breakfast… OK, so I’m just now getting around to getting them uploaded. My cop-out excuse is that Flickr is blocked at our school. :-) Anyway, I’m not especially thrilled with how any of the student shots came out [...]
Ladybug!
The other day after I finished taking pictures of the CDF CalFire planes, I went to get back into my truck and was distracted by movement and color in the dirt. Now, I tend to get distracted fairly easily (and those of you who know me are going, “Gee, ya THINK?”) so within a minute [...]
Ooooh, shiny
When McClellan Air Force Base was closed, the buildings on the base were sold to a corporation that turned it into McClellan Park, a huge office complex. No, seriously, it’s big–it has its own hotel and several housing complexes. Remember, this used to be an entire airbase. Anyway, one of the bigger employers there is [...]

Planes, trains, and… ok, just planes
My work is located on the former McClellan Air Force Base, a decommissioned USAF base located a handful of miles from downtown Sacramento. While the base was shuttered in 2001, McClellan Airfield is open for civilian use, and houses, among other things, planes for the California Department of Forestry, which used to go by the [...]
Seen on my way to work
Random 001, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I know those of you who live in climates where it snows in the winter are probably laughing at me right about now, but keep in mind that I’m a native Southern Californian, so driving to work and seeing snow-covered mountains (even if they are a 75-mile drive from [...]
Cameraphone roundup – working backwards
While I wasn’t all that thrilled about the time change this morning, the fact that it’s sunny makes it so much nicer. This window is right behind my desk at work, and when I got here this morning, I stood for a while with my face turned up to the sun and my eyes closed, [...]
