Beautiful pics, Chris. The landscape in your neck of the woods is very different from ours. Everything is all sharp and angled where you are, like the bones of the earth are sticking out. Over here, everything's been smoothed out by the glaciers and weathered. The Appalachians is one of the oldest mountain chains in the world and they were once upon a time higher than the Rockies..
Nice captures with the water droplets, Chris. You saw my most recent macro on FB this morning. One of these days, I'll get my act together and upload my most recent stuff to my Flickr account so I can share it in my blog again.
I need to get back to running. Between asthma issues (heat and humidity plus stress) and the vertigo thing that my allergies have morphed into, I stopped a bit ago. My work schedule also makes things difficult (close,close, open, close, open) to have any sort of consistancy with my running schedule. Whatever, I'm looking forward to winter.
Blake, you have way too much time on your hands, lol.
But it takes up SPACE! I live in a 20' x 20' cottage!
I think that's something I can live without.
Benny and Joon is one of my favorite comedies, which says a lot, because I'm not normally into comedies. And I can't believe you've never seen Nightmare Before Christmas! Pay attention, the entire dialogue is a massive poem. I think The Wrong Trousers is actually the second Wallace and Gromit movie, though. The first one, I believe, is A Grand Day Out.
All my nieces got 2003 Women's World Cup merchandise for Christmas that year, lol.
Jason is a big Seamus Heaney fan. Me, not so much. Although I did recommend his translation of Beowulf to Snee yesterday (I prefer the Donaldson translation myself). Love William Gibson. Cyberpunk was big when I was in high school and I read a lot of it in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine.
Congrats. I have nothing meaningful to add to the conversation, just wanted to stop in and say hi.
