I took my neighbour’s dog for a walk this afternoon while I went to the bank, and I was thinking to myself how I didn’t have any photos of the pooch. She’s very cute, and this is the first time I’ve been working at home while she’s not at doggy daycare. I must take my [...]

If you’ve arrived here via the homepage (versus the page of this post), see if you can guess which cat is which. They look quite similar from behind. If you click on the picture first, that’s cheating!

pyjamas aren’t just for bedtime, says the Easter bunny
Marin was very kind to open her home and invite all of us over for Easter Sunday games and a Mexican feast. Oh wow, what a feast! Chocolate fondue and everything! Everything was vegetarian or vegan, and very tasty.

Bet you didn’t know it was the Iranian New Year, but then, neither did most of us until Mehrdad mentioned it. He’s Iranian but also speaks Greek, so maybe there’s a Greek holiday we can celebrate, too.
Apparently any excuse for a party will do.

Taken in Alameda, California, the Bay Bridge is off to the left.

I’m a little slow sometimes. I attended the Flickr Turns 4 birthday party in San Francisco one week ago, and I just realised something out about it today.
Last Saturday Kevin and I had [...]

It’s Good Friday, so I tried to make a good pun! (Tried.)
Aboard the USS Hornet, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, now a floating museum across the bay from San Francisco. It’s supposedly haunted. (Click on the pic for related links.)
As you can see, I’ve been messing about with the banner and background. It’s how I learn [...]

That’s how many photos from the trip that I’ve uploaded thus far, which of course is just a small fraction of the total. The light was fantastic every day, and all I wanted to do was be outdoors taking pictures. I did do one day of work last Thursday from Kevin’s house (so did Kevin), [...]

In case I might’ve forgotten our “routine”, Beano woke me up today by banging on the mirror like it was a drum kit. OVER AND OVER. AND OVER. AND OVER…
If I didn’t know him better, I would have thought it was revenge for the torture I inflicted upon him (his Plasmalyte-A injection) not once but [...]
