Thanks, Liz!! Yep. He's a FUN one!
Ick and Bot... in which I try storyboarding.
And I like it. A lot. I know storyboarding is a great tool, but I hadn't used it for a while and I find it perfectly suited to helping me work out Ick and Bot's story flow. Because they are small and designed to be quick outputs, there's limited impact if something doesn't work. ((Two thumbs...
Thanks!! It was fun playing with it. I learned some new tricks from Dawn, so can't take ALL the credit. LOL.
Steigerwald Lake Adventure
Dawn and I went adventuring over the past weekend and ended up at Steigerwald Lake. It was great fun and we saw a lot of birds and crossed paths with a whole slew of nice folks happy to show us newbs the good spots. More on this later. Have a great day, everybuggy!
While sleeping, I thought of another clutter type! Schedule clutter! Too many things scheduled can stress me out like nobody's business.
Simplify - 100 Things Challenge?
My Toward The Simpler Life quest continues to gain momentum. Having done loads of research on decluttering and simplifying, I've run into the 100 things challenge all over the place. I must say, I like the concept of this challenge a lot. And yet, being realistic and in the interest of bein...
Thank you! :) You guys are such an inspiration! I've so enjoyed following your journey!

Perfect Saturday - Ro Family Visit
Today came pretty close to perfect -- as Saturdays go. I got to sleep in and take a LOOONNGG, hot shower -- despite three dogs (Mollywog is visiting) and four cats all Jonesin' to start the day. And then... I got to visit the family of Ro! Always great fun! T'Ro honored me by asking me to pho...
Still on. It's supposed to be nice, last I checked.
I know love that sky and we had some thunder and lightning today, too!
Rain Returning
While I'm not dancin' over rain's return, I do love watching the clouds crawl across the sky. Too, I enjoy the sound of rain. It brings on a more pensive mood and usually leads me to some creative output. Ah well...rain rain. Since posts are so much better with a photo, I decided to go back ...
I know! Right? I love the detail of his tongue and eyes.
The Tongue Has It
I love this capture. I don't think it needs any words. Heh heh. I love the Marv-man. He is just too cool for school. Happy Thursday, everybuggy!
P.S. That one was taken with that fine Sony you gave me, S! I can't thank you enough for that gift.
You ROCK da mic, lil'sista!
Sporatic Spring Bliss
Our poor PacificNW critters are hating it. In the few (and far between) moments of dry, sunny weather, they struggle to keep up. Old Man Winter has refused to give way to Spring, apparently. The critters (and I) dream of one day shaking off the cold and welcoming the warm sun. Too bad we've...
Thanks, S! I like how (s)he's got an arched back.
Please just a little sunshine this weekend. Please oh please.

He's such a cool dude. I love how diverse his interests are!
Duncan the Spaceman!
When I was young, I wanted to be an astronaut. (Okay -- who am I kidding? I still want to be an astronaut.) I had tons of astronomy books, a small telescope, and my own spaceship constructed from a cardboard washing machine box with two lawn chairs laying on their backs just in case a friend ...
He sure loves you!
Rock Star Joy
I found another cute one of the Rock Star. He's been such a great addition to the furry family, even if he is a cow. Have a wonderful Wednesday, everybuggy!
Yep. I noticed Tina, too. I have one good one of her I'm gonna post soon! And, yeah, I wonder why they changed the gate there. Hmmm..... (ponders)
Happy Birthday, Big'Bro!!
To say that I both admire and look up to my big'bro would be an understatement. There is but one person I trust enough to lay myself down, camera in hand, just on the other side of a dirt motorcycle jump, so I can snap action shots as he launches himself and several hundred pounds of metal dire...
Oh my word. No, you will not by it. Sheesh.
I'll bring it by. :) Hope you are feeling better.
Lacamas Fun!!
Although today would have been FAR more fun with my big'sista adventuring with me, it was a pretty fun day! Because I wanted to play with my shutter speed and stay relatively close to home, I decided on Lacamas Lake. I parked near Round Lake, grabbed my Sony (for macro shots), donned my camer...
Yep. I missed you today. Hope you're right as rain, soon!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everybuggy!
A three day weekend! WOOT! What to do with myself? I think it's high time to extend the back yard and go on a photo adventure. Unfortunately, I had planned to adventure with my sis, but she's down with a bug. Hope she feels better, soon, so we can PLAY! Meanwhile, I looked back into my o...
No doubt! Thanks, J!
Tiny Courage
I'm longing for a longer lens. While the 70-200mm lens I have now is longer than my Sony, it is only just so. Today's events, captured below, set my heart hoping for a longer lens to capture scenes like this in closer detail. Still, I managed to capture this blue heron evading attack by a muc...
No doubt! We NEED to go on a photo adventure! I'm SO tempted to get one, but I need to be good. Sigh...

Yeah. Pretty bizzaro.
Latest Trip : A Summary
As promised, here is the summary of our whirlwind trip down South. Haels, Rock, and I have finally recuperated. That 12 hour haul is a killer! Whew! We started out in the truck, driving and driving and driving and driving. We stopped a couple times to get gas and to let the doggies out to ...
Thanks, Liz! Bummer you couldn't catch it, either. It was wild!
Stormy Day!
I had one of those crazy storm experiences this morning. The kind that sets the mood for an entire day. I stepped outside with the dogs and (literally) watched a thick wall of hail, stretching out as far as the eye could see, race across the landscape toward us. It overtook us before we could...
Yeah, it's a fun technique! I like how it pushes the color and contrast.
Lasting Relationships - My Sony
I was out at the antique store a while back, searching for a gift. I love antiquing because, as I walk the stores, I marvel at how clever some people are and I'm reminded not to forget or discard the past in favor of new-fangled technology or to jump onto the latest craze-wagon. This got me th...
Mom even has a couple up at her house. Don't know, without watching them for a while, where their nests are, though. Pretty cool to watch them.
Home! We made it.
After several looonnnggg hours in the car yesterday, we made it home. Whew! It's a tough one. Marv and the aliens were quite happy to see us, but Marv did give me the cold shoulder a little, even after I gave them some wet food and plenty of rubs. Ahh well... He did recover his senses this ...
Thanks! Yah, it was pretty neat! I wish I could'a stayed to watch them hatch. Ahh well. Maybe another time.

Cool! I'm glad you like it. I shot with an aperture of 2.8, which narrowed the depth of field to a sliver-wide area. My biggest learning curve with the new toy has been learning how to stand perfectly still, because, with such a narrow DOF, it's too easy to get out of focus simply by... oh, I don't know... breathing? Yeah.
Soft Happiness
I've been playing more with the new toy. Still playing with aperture. I spend a considerable amount of time today and learned a ton about how the camera works, including how to quickly flip through menus. I shot entirely manual today, something I have not done since I was in High School... er...
Thanks. The logo needs a bit more refinement, but it works. Thanks again for all the wonderful feedback! You rock, sista!!
Housewarming: Pooja and Abhijeet
They met at school and couldn't find time enough to talk, but both recognized the sparks that were a'flyin' between them right from the start. They finally did talk and a little over a year ago, they married. This past year, they successfully navigated the "having a house built" process. As an...
HA HA! I blame the dirt. All those minerals messin' with their minds. Darn cows converting the innocent.
Cow Conspiracy: There's been a development!
I sit before you in complete shock, the sting of treachery coursing through my veins. The spy cows have stepped up their game. They have moved from simple spying to conversion. Soon, everyone will be eating grass and speaking in "moos"! Case in point. This is Haeley. She is the apple of my...
Well, if you weren't so frellin' talented! Sheesh...
Heh heh. Actually, I can't wait to see more!!
Thank goodness you are so frellin' talented.
Proud Sister: Liz Ness Studio
My big'sis has done it again. She's got another awesome tutorial posted to her new and improved Liz Ness Studio! If you have an iPhone or Point-And-Shoot camera, want photos that look like the pros, and have Photoshop Elements, then this tutorial is for you! Heck, it's a great tutorial for an...
