Good Morning!
Add a little peanut butter for protein and honey to help it slide down.   A big cold glass of milk too.  Coffee?  Well that started before sunrise.   Ready for a busy Saturday.

This Chinese parasol was given to me as a birthday gift last year.  I just loved the pattern on it, and the colors are beautiful.

i'm finally getting around to processing more pics from the car show earlier this sommer. don't ask why i haven't done them yet, the answer is either insanity, laziness or both and that's much too depressing :-( this isn't what i was hoping for but i just didn't want to dump it so i'm inflicting it on you. plan to have the full gallery up in the next few days

inspired by y'all who actually know what you're doing with light and lenses and everything i was practicing with the on-camera flash a bit in the minutes i had before work. this was the closest to turning out how i envisioned. try try again is about the only way i know how to learn. i also knock down brick walls with my head for my encore

I was digging through an old box and found these -- my old ballet pointe shoes.  It's been years since I even wore them.  It was once my dream to be a ballerina, and this dream did not come true for me but still holds a very precious spot in my heart.

I haven't done a black and white for a daily photo yet, and I thought this really ought to BE black and white...sort of a nostalgic touch, I thought.  I did also include a color version of it.

And, in a way, this is dedicated to ARF -- who asked if there was anything I DIDN'T do.  ;-)  To answer your question, yes.  This is one art form that I no longer possess the ability for.  I might have once, but it is now only the memory of a dream.
SmugMug > popular > Other > Sept. 24, 2008: On one of my early camping trips with Lady Kate, a bear came into our campsite during the night.  We'd had reports of bears being in the area recently, so each of us took pots, pans and large spoons into our tents, so we could make noise to scare any intruding bear away from our site.  Little did LK know that I would beat my pan so hard when the bear neared my tent, that her prized camping pot would have a crater in it the size of a softball!  From that day forward, my camping name became Officer Baby Bear, and I was required to bring my own "scare the bear" tools with me on future trips!  

Now, if you know about Lady Kate's camping trips, you realize that boas are pretty standard attire.  So, imagine my surprise, when I recently walked into a small gift shop and saw this lovely creature.  I was actually in Oregon on a solo camping trip.  Of course, I couldn't resist taking this shot!
