You brought me to the vet. I hate you.
4 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) November 30th, 2005 in Critters + Creatures, Hugh, PhotographySince David is busy having a blood transfusion, I committed the ultimate act of bravery: taking Hugh to the vet for his shots. Believe you me, I wasn’t looking forward to it, especially after all the stories I heard about previous trips to the vet. But I suspected he was having some other problems, so [...]

An Ode to the Lowly Hydrant
0 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) November 29th, 2005 in Flickr, PhotographyHey! My photo of this hydrant in front of the Rockefeller Center was featured in Utata!
Utata: in front of Rockefeller Center
Funny, that. I shot this hydrant specifically for the Flickr group called The Birdsill Holly Society, and it ends up here. ‘The Birdsill Holly Society’ is one of my favourite Flickr photo pools; I actively [...]
Three Cheers For Recycling
2 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) November 29th, 2005 in Consumer, RantsHip!Hip!Hooray!
The other night I successfully completed my first attempt at creating a photo book, and I used recycled materials:
cardboard from Amazon.com shipments
ribbon from gifts received
an old tablecloth dug out of David’s junk storage containers
It’s amazing how much stuff can be recycled rather than buying things new. At the same time, I can’t believe the [...]
Because Nothing Says ‘Thanksgiving’ Like Inflatable Advertising
2 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) November 28th, 2005 in TravelPhotoset: Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
We stayed in the perfect location to see the parade, less than two blocks away. We didn’t even have to check out first — we had enough time to see the parade, have brunch, return to the hotel, then check out. It’s a good thing, too, the subways along Broadway looked pretty [...]
glow of the city

My cousin who lives in upstate New York is moving to California in a few weeks, so we decided to spend Thanksgiving together in New York City before she left the East Coast and David would have dinner with his mother.
David’s health during the week made [...]
For the Record, I’m a Bit of a Grammar Nazi
6 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) November 27th, 2005 in RantsOK, I confess: this is one of my grammar pet peeves, perhaps the biggest one of all — the usage of ‘and I’ versus ‘and me’.
It drives me bananas when people take the ‘and I’ combination too far. For example:
My boss gave him and I tickets to the show.
No! Take out ‘him’ and see what [...]
Canal Street Chooks and Their Fellow Fowl

Continuing along what appears to be a bird theme, it seems I have a thing for taking photos of chickens trussed up and hung in windows.
I took the photo at [...]

Pentax K-1000
I took this from South Street Seaport, New York City, on Thursday — Brooklyn Bridge is in the background.
In the previous post I asked for a caption for the open-mouthed gull, and Socar’s poem “The Packbawky Anthem” was the first on the [...]

Any suggestions for this squawker in front of the Brooklyn Bridge? (If you’re in Flickr, click on the pic and add it there.)
