Yellowstone calendar pictures

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Time to assemble the annual Yellowstone calendar.   This year I had a bit of a deadline (and not the shipping deadline this year!).  The company I ordered from (Zazzle) was having a 44% off deal, which expires around 3am.  Unfortunately, because of my grandfather’s death, I never did get around to processing the pictures from [...]

cec’s day off

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I thought about titling this “VD Day” for reasons explained below, but as K pointed out, my mom reads this blog.  More to the point, as I noted, my mom has a dirty mind – which is where most of her children got our sense of humor, so she would absolutely get it.  Anyway, I [...]

Last night, I realized that K had quite a few baby animals around the house and that I hadn’t posted any pictures.  So, without further ado, may I present the cute ones:
The first picture is of a young opossum.  He and his siblings were in one of our outdoor enclosures, but he didn’t seem to [...]

Vacation notes (3 of N)

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

May 24: Memorial day weekend is in full swing and there are idiots everywhere.  I swear that the older I get, the more I sympathize with my father’s dislike of crowds.  We braved a bit of the crowd (keeping in mind that we’re already in the least crowded part of the park) and went up [...]

Vacation notes (2 of N)

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

May 20: In the morning, we saw a small herd of bighorn sheep near the Yellowstone Picnic Area.  Later on, we saw a grizzly bear hanging out in the Lamar Valley: sleeping, grazing and hanging out.  Heading back into the cabin for dinner, we talk to our host.  He’s going through a nasty divorce which [...]

Vacation notes (1 of N)

Monday, June 1st, 2009

As mentioned previously, K and I have been out on vacation for the past two weeks – no phone (okay, there was voicemail), no email, and really very little in the way of computers.  I did take some notes, because, unfortunately, my memory is exactly what it used to be: bad.

May 16: An inauspicious start [...]

William Wallace on wildlife releases

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

They may take our rehabilitation bins, but they’ll never take… our FREEDOM!
On Sunday, K release some baby water turtles that she had been over-wintering.  Fortunately, we’re all of a mile from a good place at which to release turtles, Jordan Lake, so we didn’t have to drive too far.
The big one in the image set [...]

Eeek!

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Some of the more social people from my high school class in Louisiana are apparently putting together a reunion.  They’ve managed to track down maybe 90+% of the class and have just sent out a (scanned?) copy of the senior class photo.  I defy you to find more 80’s hair in a picture.  The sad [...]

Snow pictures

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Last week (on Inauguration Day no less), we got about 7″ of snow out at the house.  I just uploaded the pictures this morning.  Some of my favorites are below, the rest are in the gallery.

If nothing else, the dogs sure did seem to enjoy the snow.

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Using a bit of leftover birthday money, I bought some new camera equipment.  Nothing particularly sexy like a big long lens (what do you mean by homoerotic?).  I bought a set of carbon fiber tripod legs that weigh about 3 pounds instead of the 6 pounds of my old tripod legs – that should make [...]
