A little souvenir from my life in Japan. It seriously feels like a lifetime ago (and I guess for a ten year old, it is). This little fish has traveled from Japan to Australia and then across the world again to Portland. I hang him inside because he makes noise when you hang him in the wind and it can get a little irritating. Let’s just say that as a wind chime he works a little too well (someone in our apartment building in Australia actually asked us to take him down soon after we moved in).

OK – so I am running short on photo subjects. The difficulty is that with working five days a week, I often don’t usually remember my photo until I am in my pajama pants and unwilling to venture outside. So I have been limited to objects around my house. Objects that are right now covered in dust and, frankly, I am running out of interesting objects to photograph.  Never fear – this will all change as soon as I have this baby and am officially off work for a few months. I promise more variety – well AFTER the few thousand photos I post of the baby and his brother (and the inside of the hospital) of course.
