Crossposted to Well, that crusty old Schwinn that my folks dropped off at the end of August has been brought back to life. I got some rubber under it today, dicked around with the brakes for about two hours (I wish I were kidding) and finally launched the old beast on her born-again-virgin maiden voyage. […]

I have some monarch photos, too. My little flowerbed was a hotbed of insect activity yesterday. I also found some less showy yet still very cool critters, like: little brown moths! and grasshoppers. This ‘hopper was actually munching the zinnia it was sitting on. I don’t know if you can tell yet, but hot pink […]

I was having kind of a “Wildlife as Canon Sees It” morning this morning.

I’m chock full of happy. I’ve got myself a project bike and it’s so stinkin’ cool. It’s a 1970-something Schwinn Suburban ladies’ bike. (*snerk* I’m planning on going around telling people I just got a Suburban). It’s right now half stripped in my living room; I’ve got everything off I could get off with an […]

My cat is a camera-whore who is also very curious about this new, blue thing leaning against her favorite sofa (as usual, click the image for a larger version) Cat-free photos of the Girly-Burley. I know it doesn’t look like the sterotypical “women’s bike,” but the Burley McKenzie is a women’s specific bike. What can […]

For ! I need to dig up and move the tulips around this fall. They didn’t do for crap this year…they’re getting worked too deep into the earth, I think. Plus, the only type I have are these yellow/red hybrid stripey buggers. Not that they’re not pretty, mind you. It’s just that there are other […]

This is the start of something big! Potential Playing around with soft-focus. It’s kind of cool, but it kind of sucks. Same flower, slightly better quality. Same flower, different angle, MUCH better quality. I’ll share my hot-pink peonies later. Also the irises, and the few presentable tulips I had this year. The weather has been […]

Can you think of any good and logical reason why I should not plant miscellaneous pumpkins and fancy squash in my front yard? The foliage is pretty, the flowers are dramatic, and squash are cool. Plus, they’re like the ultimate groundcover. Just a couple of plants will take care of most of that pesky area […]
