just felt like doing something simplish, inspired by a praying mantis on my window (in comments). as always, lightbox is best :)
ahahhahahahha, also in the comments are a few drawings which i should explain...at four in the morning a few nights ago my roommate and i were peacefully asleep when i woke up to someone climbing into bed with me. at first i just kind of brushed it off for a second, because it was four in the morning and i thought i was dreaming, except then i realized--holy shit--there's another fucking person in this bed. so then i started to freak out a bit, shaking the girl (she'd fallen asleep) and saying "I DON'T KNOW YOU" over and over until she woke up. she subsequently told me to go back to sleep and rolled over. finally i realized she was ridiculously drunk, so i shook her until she actually got out of my bed. on her way out she told me i could never go clubbing with her again.
as you can probably tell, my heart is still broken.
oh, and she stole my kindle. but i got it back.
...it was a long night. but SUCH a good story :)
Picture taken @ my neighbours' yard.
I had been so hooked up to the 100mm E Series manual focus lens, I am considering to sell my 50mm f/1.4 AF-S - may be I won't :)
I was killing time at a local camera store today and ended up buying an used Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 AIS lens - Yay, I get to take macros with an AIS lens.
EXIF: f/2.8 1/250s 100mm @ ISO 400
Sadly, today is the retirement of all F-111 aircraft. This picture shows the one of the final aircraft shutting down.

This little fella was not very old at all. I'd like to go see how large it gets but rain as set in for a couple days now.
My friend and co-worker Justin has a new 10 week old Bulldog puppy and brings him to work from time to time. Don't be fooled by Turbo's serious face, he's one funny and entertaining dog! He's obsessed with chewing on my shoes and pulling my shoelaces!

I was amazed at how close I could get to these noisy kingfishers!
