September 2008

About a month ago, I showed the Four Seasons Trees: The Summer 2008 Edition. I bemoaned how “blech” the scene looked.
Saturday, Ed and I hiked the same trail. This is the same scene, sans quite so much smog.

And, for comparison’s sake, the scene in August.

The first one is MUCH better, don’t you think?

Mushrooms bigger than your head. O.k., not really. They’re your average mushrooms, photographed last Sunday in our back yard.

I took this shot hand-held last Monday morning while waiting for a traffic light to change.

I like photos, funny AND Fridays. So I’m in.

This photo, taken at our wedding (I’m the one in white), has always CRACKED ME UP! The look on his face was brought on by a combination of too much excitement, too little sleep, [...]

O.k., today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. I’m not good at pirate speak, but there’s a translator that may come in handy. (If you arrrrrr like me, you prefer listening to others talk like a pirate to talking like one yoarrrrrrself. Ahem.)
For instance, “I’m glad it’s Friday,” translated into Pirate, is “I be glad [...]

As promised, here are more photos of the adorable Joseph. (I posted a few in Sunday’s Weekly Winners post.)
I LOVE photographing closeups of baby hands and feet.

Baby hands and feet in the same shot. SWOON!

Sweet face…

Isn’t this a classic “newborn cry”?

Mom was getting Joseph ready for his next closeup. But I decided THIS would be [...]

Anyone who knows me well knows I LOVE political humor. I don’t care who the politician is. Well-timed and well-written jokes crack me up. So the skit on Saturday Night Live last Saturday with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin amused me to no end. (Yes, it was Monday night before I saw the whole thing [...]

I took these photos of Toby in 40 minutes’ time a couple of weeks ago. Both Ed and I were in the bed. Didn’t keep Toby from doing his thing at all.
