I’m just going to sit here

Don’t make me decide. It’s too hot to do anything but swim. Really  too hot to swim, so I’m just going to sit here.

Let it out

It wasn’t the most amazing sunset ever, but it still makes me take a deep breath, let it out, and feel more relaxed. Michigan in the summer is so amazingly beautiful. I had no idea.

Brand Spankin’ New

I’m at an age where I seem to consistently have 3 or 4 pregnant friends at any time. At least this time it was a local friend so I can at least take some pictures now that the baby is here. I wanted to meet the baby primarily, but I also wanted to give them […]

End of day monarchy

I’m not even sure what the title means, that is how fried I am. However, a quick photography stop for sunflowers became even more glorious with my lepidopterous friend here. Again, unabashed word abuse, but I like the way it sounds.

TB Chronicles – curious compatriots

As the days speed by towards half-way through my INH treatment, I have been feeling that it is time for an update. However, I have nothing to report for myself. I have no isoniazid side effects and my monthly refill visits to the Texas Health Department have been so easy as to be near delightful. […]

My what big eyes you have

I needed a goal before I began tackling some photo library organization and clean-up this evening. It only took me 4 days to actually start after thinking up the idea. Tedious but necessary. Finding interesting eyes makes it a bit more bearable.

Hopefully “Pardon Our Dust” Coming Soon

Can’t you just see it? Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? I’m a rockstar at mind-mapping. Definitely need to add that to the résumé. Now I have to find the time to sit down and actually do the redesign. The idea is that by posting this, I have to hold myself accountable to it. We’ll see how […]

A plumed thistle for your thoughts?

Found on a pleasant evening dog-walk. It is either a Wavyleaf thistle or a Texas thistle – still investigating the subtle differences between Cirsium undulatum and Cirsium texanum. Any botanists want to chime in? Both are plumed thistles, I believe.

Local Flavor

Also known as Eeyore’s Birthday Party. Not that the name makes any more sense, but this year was the 50th annual celebration. Oh Austin. You can google the actual event and read the history. I tried to mostly stay away from just taking pictures of wacky people, so I focused on wacky animals and their people […]

Turn the car around

No seriously, I swear there are zebras back there. Nothing like classic weekend Americana in Texas Hill Country. Best unexpected zebra detail: fuzzy ears I just hope they aren’t for selling zebra meat.
