My Week In Pictures (Sort Of)

Since I don't have much time to write anything substantive, I thought I'd attempt to follow through on my birthday resolution by taking more pictures and sharing them with the world. By the world I mean the handful of people that read this blog. Anyway, here you go.


I took this sitting at the traffic light getting off the toll road a few days ago. The moon has been charming the past few days, appearing larger than normal. This particular evening I was captivated by the sight of the setting sun in my rear view mirror and the rising moon in the sky above it. Since I was driving at the time and could therefore not look at the screen on my digital camera, I couldn't get the best shot. This is the best of the set.

We found this little guy hanging out in the back hallway in the PAC. I assumed at the time that he was fleeing the rain from Tropical Storm Fay. But in hindsight, I realized he's an amphibian, so that really wouldn't make any sense. Also, there wasn't any flooding at school. Maybe he just wanted to learn something about Drama.

I spotted this hot air balloon on the drive to work early last week. My initial reaction was, wow, that's a huge advertising balloon. Anyway, I can only assume the flight was sponsored by Leslie Pool Supply. If you look closely, you can actually see the guy standing in the basket.



I spent several hours on Sunday night finishing the floor plan for "The Odd Couple". Bard provided a welcome distraction from my line weights. After jumping on my lap and deigning to have his chin scratched, he crawled behind and then under my drafting board. I lifted the front side and snapped a few shots as he played with a whistle and an old hair tie until he grew tired of the entertainment and took his snobby self downstairs.


The last time I took a mailing tube to school it disappeared and I found it several days later in two battered pieces. So, in an attempt to not have my possessions destroyed, I taped a note onto this version. It reads: "This is a mailing tube designed to transport documents. It is not the plaything of teenage hoodlums. It is not to be used as an imaginary sword or projectile. Thank you."

Taken on the drive home. I just like the jiggly lights. They're pretty.
