As my daily photo two days before was an ant too, I didn't want to choose one today. But in the end I think that this one is best. I think the others are more clinical as if they were taken of a book about biology.
In contrast this one tells a story about a fight between ants with an audience in the background.
Please visit Pimthida's stream, too. Yesterday we were on tour together.
GF1 with Voigtländer Nokton 40/1.4. Lovely fast lens, tiny and very sharp wide open. Planning this to be the default lens for the new GF1 body: it is a rangefinder lens (M-mount), so it is small. The 40 mm focal length means it is the same as a 50 mm on the Canon EOS 500D body (that I sold).
I shall add a review to manualglass.com once I have tested the lens thoroughly.

My first grade class. Belding in Chicago IL. . I'm the second from the right in the blue dress, sitting row.
I have not rambled in a while, I think I will right now!
What a week. I think we started off on the wrong foot just from needing to recover from the AWESOME 5-day-weekend with Jessi and James. The week before had been super busy at work and it did not stop. Dave was also very busy at work, and working late into the night at home, and not getting enough sleep. The first half of the week we really did not hang out at all, I mean sure we had dinner together most nights, but I went to bed alone a few times and I HATE that.
I got back into taking baths. As many may know through me personally or by my photos I am a LUSH addict. I had a bunch of bath stuff sitting there, and well, we have a gorgeous master bath with an awesome tub and I think Dave mentioned no one had ever used it until I did. So...with Dave being busy and me being stressed I decided to take an hour for me every night. I brought in candles as there is ample stone all around the edges, and turned off all the lights, and used different products each night. I did not take a bath Thursday due to the debate or tonight because of what we did tonight.
We did get some time Wednesday and Thursday to watch some DVD's - we have all 5 seasons of Alias on DVD and Dave loved that show and I had never really seen it so we started from S1 and are working our way through. After watching several Wed+Thurs we are now totally done with S3. We were going to watch some tonight but Dave was super tired so he promised me some alone time tomorrow night before my trip.
I had to leave work early today for a Doctor appointment (a follow-up from my girly surgery in January), and went to Old Navy to look for a cheap suit for the business trip I am going on Sunday-Wednesday. I did not get a suit, but the whole frickin' store is on sale (and they have to be, with the economy such shit), and I got 11 items for $100. One whole work outfit and the rest work/casual wear (I wear jeans to work all the time but I needed nicer stuff for this conference, and as I have not had a job that required super fancy clothes in so long, well I just don't have them. Just the shoes ;-) )...came home and had dinner w/Dave & the kiddos, then there was room cleaning by kids and laundry by me and housecleaning by me and Dave and then it was time to put the kids to bed then we were going t watch Alias or something and Dave was sleepy. So we came here to bed (where I am typing this and he has long since passed out) and he read a magazine while I edited this photo on the MacBook Pro. Sunday morning I leave for my trip, and come home Wednesday night. I will miss the kids and Dave a lot, and our BED. I DO get to meet up with KB, though, so yay!
And finally the BED. It got here while Jessi and James were here. It is so perfect. So wonderful. Firm back support but a 5 inch plush foam layer on top then a 2 inch pad, Silky 500 thread count NEW sheets. Same quilt, but I like it. It has that anti-bounce thing - Jessi was jumping all over one side of the bed and I could not feel it laying next to her!
I SLEEP through the night. I sleep soundly. I do not wake with back pain (still get it during the day but do not wake in pain). And, for the mental part, I am the only woman who has (and if up to me, will) sleep in this bed, with this bedding. I have technically lived in THIS house longer than she ever did, but a purchase like this speaks volumes and to me, just adds more that I am here to stay and I am the woman in his life now. I mean we get along with her and all and we will have many more years of interaction as the kiddos are only in grade school, but now I feel even more like this is the home of Dave and Tara, and it feels SO good.
And this bed is so nice I fell asleep while typing this. I mean it! Look at the time of the photo, and I am uploading it around 11-something pm. Oops. I think I will have to turn this thing off and go cuddle with that amazing, sexy, wonderful, one-of-a-kind, dream-come-true, and uh, sleeping man next to me :D
One of the original Haymarket allocation which had nose doors and headcode discs - later rebuilt with a 4 character headcode box (the give-away is the profile on the nose bottom edge where the doors used to be).
As first rebuilt the headcode box corners were square and a good Haymarket 40 giveaway on photos. 40 060 has had a subsequent "nose job" and the box is now the same as the later series, but the lower edge profile still gives the game away.
Gray Line, Seattle 40 A55036X was Grosvenor Coach Lines 604 2W98511 and was part of the batch of 10 built for sightseeing operations in San Francisco.
