Let’s Go Fly A Kite
I took advantage of yesterday’s gorgeous weather to stop by Carkeek Park. This guy was practicing with a mid-size kite — larger than normal, but not large enough to go kite surfing with. Lots of fun to watch!
More pictures from Carkeek are going up (batch by batch) on Flickr, as usual.

6,000+ Pictures
I’ve just passed the 6,000 picture mark in my Flickr account…I figure I’m averaging about 10 pictures a day uploaded. Can anyone say photo whore? ;)
This, then, is picture number 6,000:
Ducklings! Cute widdle fuzzy ducklings looking at their fuzzy widdle tummies!
Excuse me…I need an insulin shot now.
Wisteria Spirals
Until I looked at them from this angle, I never realized that the flowers grew in a spiral around the central stem.

First Time in Five Years
Every so often, I get the urge to hack off my face fuzz. Most of the time, I manage to talk myself out of it — I don’t really look my age most of the time to begin with (or act it, but that’s a different matter), and going clean-shaven just makes me look even younger.
However, every few years I actually get up the nerve to see just how goofy I look without the beard. The last time was five years ago (and no photos exist of that round), so I figured it was finally time to give it another shot.
End result — well, I definitely look younger…the most popular estimate has been somewhere around 20 or 21 (which really isn’t bad at all for a guy who just turned 33). It’s hard for me to look at myself without thinking I look goofy this way, but I’ve been assured that I look fine, and that it’s probably just me being so unused to looking like this.
I still think that I’ll be letting the beard grow back in rather than stay like this.

Mother’s Day
It’s late in the day, so most won’t read this until the day after, but…happy Mother’s Day to all the various moms I know (and, for that matter, all those that I don’t know). My own mom is, of course, right at the top of that list. Other important moms that I know of: my sister-in-law Emily; my aunts Pam and Susan; Prairie’s mom Char; my friends Erika, and Melissa…and I’m sure there are more that I might be able to bring to mind if it weren’t just after eleven at night. ;)
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you.
