Debating playing with Instagram again. Took this on Friday back in Eburg.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Would you be my meatheart?
Happy Penguin Awareness Day!
It seems that Jan. 20th is Penguin Awareness Day. Though I was not aware of this, I am aware of penguins. You should be too.
Just in case you’re not…here are some penguins.
Be aware.
All photos by me!
Vancouver, WA Fireworks
While Prairie and I were planning on doing our usual hide-from-the-crazies-at-home approach to the Fourth of July, due to circumstances beyond our control, we ended up visiting Prairie’s family in Vancouver, WA this past weekend. It turns out that Vancouver is one of those weird places where fireworks are actually legal to set off within the city limits on July Fourth, and nearly every house in Prairie’s mom’s neighborhood was getting in on the action. Since this was something I’d never experienced, Prairie and I took a short walk around the neighborhood to see some of the local explosive entertainment.
American Gothique’s Sick-N-Twisted
Those of you who follow my postings on Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr will already have seen these, but, on the off chance that there are still some who only find me through my blog (or my LiveJournal mirror of this blog)….
Last Saturday, American Gothique magazine hosted a fashion show at The Vogue, with Amazing Race contestants Kynt and Vyxsin as featured models. I was able to join the crowd of photographers crouched at the foot of the catwalk, and here are a few shots from the show. As is usually the case, there are many more shots posted on Flickr!
Happy Birthday, Grandpa Don!
Today is Prairie’s grandpa’s 84th birthday!
MiniBreak: Corvallis
Two weekends ago, Prairie and I headed down to Corvallis to visit my brother and his family. Emily, my sister-in-law, is just finishing her doctorate in oceanography, and has accepted a position doing post-doc work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, associated with MIT. Great news, of course, but it does mean that they’re all moving across the country to Falmouth, MA. Since that’s going to be a lot harder to visit than Corvallis, OR, we wanted to make sure to get a visit with them in before they left.
The full set of photos is on Flickr, here’s a small sampling…

We’ll miss being close enough to take a weekend to drive down and visit, but it’s a great opportunity for them and for Emily, and we wish them the best.
MiniBreak: Olympic National Park
A couple of weekends ago, Prairie and I took our first minibreak in a long time, heading out with her dad to the Olympic National Park. We camped out at the Sol Duc Campground, just a few minutes away from the Sol Duc Hot Springs, where we spent a number of hours soaking in the natural hot pools. We took a number of short hikes around the campground area, and drove out to the coast to hike along Rialto Beach.
Not surprisingly, there were a lot of photos taken — the full photoset from the weekend is now up on Flickr.
Every Day is Halloween
These have already been flying around Facebook, but for those of you out of that particular loop, here’s photos from last weekend’s “Every Day is Halloween” costume night at Vogue Night…
Birthday Penguins!
My pictures from my birthday trip to the zoo to see the new penguin exhibit (and the rest of the zoo) with Prairie, P, H, and N are up! Well, at the time I’m writing this, they’re still in the process of uploading, but some are up, and the rest will be up soon…probably by the time most of you read this post. ;)
