August 9, 2006

Star Date, August 9, 2006, the rain hasn't left the area yet, but the air and all the foilage around is [are?] crisp and clean. [Remember Star Trek?] After endeavoring to snap awesome photos, nothing of consequence has risen up to my lens yet. So here are some flowers, boasting not only their beauty but also the rain which has more than found its way to our blessed community. Featured here are fireweed and foxglove, both in full bloom. As you look at these, remember to also check out my webshots link, which has a flowers section as well. Cheerio!

August 7, 2006 - Return to Work

After a long hiatus thanks to a broken ankle, I returned to full time work today, Monday, August 7, 2006. This last weekend, the sky literally fell in the form of rain, the annual Sidewalk Sale was held on Saturday, but the intensity of the rain and my extremely slow mobility forced me to remain home all day long until Sunday afternoon. Who needs to shop here though, when the internet is just a few button clicks away, providing endless hours of shopping as I sit with a Diet Coke nearby, warm, dry...
This eagle photo, taken May 12, 2006 is a representation of the photos I've taken before my broken ankle incident in June. Check out the webshots link on this blog to view other photos of eagles. While these eagles are sedentary [or are they standing?] my focus this year was to try and capture them in motion, whether it be in flight, eating, or catching something to eat. From my brief trips out in the car this month of August, I notice the eagle numbers have again diminished as they've left the area. There remains a few around, but nothing like the numbers in June and July. Cheerio!

August 5, 2006 - Saturday

Today is my first time ever doing a blog, so bear with me as I learn to do this, yet another aspect of being on the internet too much. I live in Sitka, Alaska, meaning I work and play here. It is a beautiful place to live, lots and lots of scenery even on cloudy, rainy days, the endless beauty provides lots of opportunity to get out and take photos. So here's some of my work, which will begin today, August 5, 2006.
For my first photo, here is a my niece Jenna with her son Tyson, Jr., he's always smiling. More photos later as I learn to do this blog stuff.
