And now for something completely...

Potty break!

Potty break!


Yeast: 

Craig and I took his parents on the Redhook brewery tour today. The tour guide used this plush giant microbe to explain how yeast works, and I thought it was appropriate that he (or she?) looks a little tipsy on a jar of hops.

…and you can always tell when that dog is watching TV by looking at how his ears are positioned. He looks surprised.

Guinness built himself a fort out of cushions.


NYC: Fisheye perspective: 

I’m in NYC for work this week, and I had to come in to town on Sunday. I had some time to kill, so I ventured down to the Times Square area and snapped this shot with my fisheye. Of course, I needed Craig on the phone from Seattle to help me get back from my hotel!

Amidst the green: 

I loved the softness of this leaf! Photo taken on the North Sound Flickr meetup at the Pacific Science Center. Taken in Seattle, WA, with a Zuiko 50mm macro lens.

The shy moth: 

Okay, so I admit that this photo isn’t all that interesting, but I loved all the detail in this lunar-type moth. I missed it last time, and I almost missed it this time! Photo taken on the North Sound Flickr meetup at the Pacific Science Center. Taken in Seattle, WA, with a Zuiko 50mm macro lens.

There goes the fence!: 

My neighbors thought they’d cut some corners—err, trees?—by chopping down a tree in the greenbelt behind our community by themselves. Photo taken with my Zuiko 50mm lens in Everett, WA.

It had to happen on Friday the 13th: 

I lost my solitaire today of all unlucky days! I scrambled up and down and all throughout the house, and I was sure I wouldn’t find it. However, after I went through all three stories, I went back upstairs to the bathroom and looked in the sink. Craig was adamant that the diamond had gone down the sink when I washed my hands earlier in the day. I was distraught, but continued to look in the bathroom. As a last resort, I grabbed the bath rug and heard a little “ding!” There it was!
So, before I headed to Zales to get it fixed, I thought it’d make for a great shot. You can see the prongs are shot to hell! The band also really, really needs to be replated!

Arboreal rainbow: 

Took a short trip to Howarth Park after work today. The tide wasn’t very high, so Craig and I putzed along the beach for awhile. I found this tree on the beach, and I really liked the collage of colors.

Leafscape: 

I love how this leaf almost looks as if it’s been impaled. As I looked closer, the leaf was just translucent enough that I could see the fence through it. I also liked the different blurred colors of green in the background.

Long-toed salmander: 

Craig found this long-toed salamander outside on our deck a few weeks ago after a hard rain. He’s (or she? I’m not sure how to sex these guys) now roommates with a blue-spotted salamander who’s about the same size as him. Photo taken with a Zuiko 50mm macro lens in our “studio” in Everett, WA.
