Our garden is starting to peak out and this sunflower’s color has changed radically in three days. It’s quite spindly and there was a breeze so it was hard to shoot but the petal color was worth a bit of blur.

Gary and I walked around this great wooden boardwalk which spans swamp and various damp areas as well as woods. It’s a simple structure that has a wonderful form of its own.

Gary and I had a great walk around the boardwalk in White Memorial park. Unfortunately the only time we had free that day was in the middle of the day and it was hot. And, the wildlife was under cover so few birds and other animals. However, plenty of foliage and of course, the wild [...]

A rainy Sunday finds Gary and me sharing all sorts of Macintosh, Tiger, flickr, camera and other geeky, nerdy conversation. My wife read through all of it but couldn’t resist documenting a bit of it with her camera.

Just took a walk around after a rainy morning. Shot about 80 pictures and only a few turned out. I love these nasturtium leaves and took 20 pictures of them. This highly cropped image is all I’ve got to show for that effort. I never noticed this “love” clover before. I’ll have to press one [...]

This is my granddaughter Erin. We had a family “do” yesterday to welcome our friend Gary who’s visiting from Oregon. Erin has seen him each year since she was born and even though she sees him once a year she remembers him well. We have a big rock in our backyard (anyone want it, free [...]

Just after I took this I had to eat this little beauty. It was too good to leave to others and I figured I’d earned it with this shot.

Coleslaw, from the Dutch “cold cabbage” is one of my favorite summer foods. This cabbage is days away from the “slaw-ter” house and my tummy. My wife Anne makes the best slaw I’ve ever had, nice and vinegary with plenty of onion.

This has not been a great year for tomatoes in our garden but we were able to pick enough for a nice salad tonight. Somehow it seems like a weird summer: rained a lot early on and now it’s dry as a bone and the stream is dryed up and the pond is low. It’s [...]

Our friend Gary is here for his yearly visit to hang out, take pictures, eat corn, kayak, and talk about old times (we both lived in Eugene, Oregon about 20 years ago). Gary is a Nikon user but we still like him and allow him to take pictures around here.

My cousin Bob, being the un-self-conscious type walked through the main courtyard of the Getty playing blues on his harmonica. I caught him eye to eye with a young man listening to his iPod but wondering what the heck bob was doing or playing. Bob focusing in on something at the Getty with his D70. [...]

My friend Wendy and I were testing out numerous Canon lenses at Warren Woods, a swamp near our houses. I got below her and was able to get a shot with sky in the background and I played a bit in iPhoto and dropped the sky out. I like it.

Here’s how to connect to Google’s IM network with iChat or Adium. The audio works with iChat as well. Not as good as a Google Talk client for OS X, but I guess it’ll have to do. (Via kottke.org remaindered links.)
