...but with a buddy this time.

Somehow along the way, I seem to have lost the gallery of pics from our 2005 vacation. Found them in a backed up directory and will be adding them to the gallery as soon as I get some free time. Ha!

For now, here are the stitched panoramas: Germany, Amsterdam, The Hague

The third and fourth full-size panoramas from The Hague are missing so I'll have to search the archive for them.

Update: Missing panoramas uploaded. Yay.

Double Update: On second thought, I have 440 pictures edited and fit for the webs. I need a new drop-n-insta-slideshow gallery.

Found this in the Whole Foods parking lot on the way home from work today. Love the bug pattern. I would have to say, it was pretty impressive in person.

And there was such a beautiful sunset tonight. This picture doesn't do it justice, but I thought I'd grab a couple shots on the way home. I think I need to take my camera with me more often. Note to self: get a backup battery?

I love this...

Per a previous story, I finally tried out a little work with the Wacom on a picture from Hot Water Blast. I made it not so invisible because I liked the way it looked with a little of the background coming through.

Saw this before dinner tonight and had to get a couple pictures. I love the reflection... such a nice pattern. And I like the underlighting on my desk. Makes everything look so pretty together.

I forgot these were Calla Lilies until one popped out a blossom a couple weeks ago.

And here was part of dinner on the 5th.

And some grilled cream cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon on the 6th (before the grilling).

A little 'Superstition'...

Remnants of the leaf bomb...aka hail damage from the other night.

While looking for a relatively inexpensive Japanese maple this past weekend, I found a relatively inexpensive beautiful dogwood instead. She's planted in the shade beneath the Cypress and the huge red Japanese maple. I also brought home a couple new hostas and two heuchera 'Citronelle' to surround the dogwood. This week, the dark pink azaleas started to push out some blossoms which looks awesome under the dark red Japanese maple and next to the bright green hostas and chartreuse heucheras.
