Wordless Wednesday: Airborne

Quick note to say welcome to any new blog readers who stopped by after my Newport Aquarium post was featured on the freshly pressed blog. I loved reading all of your comments and hope you’ll come back.

Nye Beach, Newport, Oregon.

One Very Good Reason to Live on the West Coast

Incredible sunsets…

These images taken during one sunset from Nye Beach, Oregon. Pretty much straight out of the camera except for a little sharpening. A-MAZ-ING.

Almost Wordless Wednesday: The Karaoke Collection Grows

Taking a moment from the Karin/Mayumi photo fest to share a few photos of a recent Karoke evening. It seems that this has become a regular event, thanks largely to ringleader (and singer extraordinaire), LeeAnn. My collection of Karaoke photos is growing so large that I think I see a Karoake photo book in my future.

Photos have been selected carefully to protect (and flatter) the innocent.

Guess this song

And then someone else picked up the camera so I am obliged to post just one photo of myself. My favorite part of the photo is the lyric on screen. Perfect.

OK – guess I made it into the background of this one too.

Great times.

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: Five Minutes Before He Disappeared

Meet Wicket, Thomas’ beetle that he grew from a meal worm for a school project. You can imagine my joy when they sent him home so we could continue his upbringing.

This photo was taken just before Thomas decided to let Wicket explore his toy castle.

How a black beetle disappeared so quickly in the space of five minutes left us all stumped. Despite a thorough search, it seems Wicket is now roaming free somewhere in our house. I wish him the best in new life and hope he doesn’t fall victim to the suction of the vacuum when the cleaners come tomorrow.
