4th of July 2011 from Seattle. Fireworks galore as they go off. I used BULB mode on the camera and F/8 to take most of the shots. Enjoy!

This watermelon was in the Bermuda Triangle of my kitchen, where living things die. Four days after I got it, and the day was hoping to eat it, I noticed it had exploded on the top and strange looking watermelon meat was oozing out of the top. After I found this watermelon in such a state, I put it in a bag and hours later, the bag was full of water because the whole fruit liquified.
I put a plant in that corner once, and within a few days the leaves had liquified. At first, I thought it was an odd looking case of root rot, but then the plant I put in its place died as well, and now the watermelon and apple. I'm wondering if something weird is going on in that corner of my kitchen. Any ideas?

To me, this sign says "if you park here your car will explode, so do not". Maybe it's just me. Today has been a do not day. Do not cycle on dual carriage ways, but we did. Do not ride on left hand side, but we frequently do. Do not erect your tent beside a main road, but we have. Back home, riding the dual carriageways is LEGAL, so we applied some english law to their illogical french roads. Today we rode just over 100km and we're excited to be reaching the coast tomorrow. For those who geotrack us, we're about halfway between Carcasonne and Beziers, camped a few meters south of the D5. After tomorrow, we're heading into the mountains of the Massive central, where a challenging and no doubt exhausting week awaits us.
As we rode south east today, leaving the canal and getting back onto main roads, the Pyraneese mountains where clearly visible on our right, their snow capped peaks looming ominously against the clear sky. The weather today was sunny, too sunny really. The day got very hot indeed and a strong headwind against us both exhaustively slowed us down and kept us just below melting point, so mixed feelings about it. We also passed (for anyone who's a fan of the heartbreaking masterpiece that is Moulin Rouge) the 'Moulin Vert'. I imagine it to be a slightly less heartbreaking and more-sort-of-slightly-awkward-break-up kind of place. Aside from being bitten in a hundred places by the many insects that come out of nowhere when we ride, one of the most notable of todays observations was the gas station we stopped at. The first was essentially a booze and petrol stop kind of place. The shelves that in the UK would be lined with maltesers, mars chocolate drinks and car magazines were instead crammed with beer, wine and spirits. Really it was probably set up by a guy who started with an off license and increased the alcohol content of his products until he ended up selling petrol. To top it off, the girl at the counter had a door beside her that led to a bar in an adjacent room, and was on her own. Her job consists of selling people petrol and mens mags, then popping next door to pull a pint and serve peanuts. If you think that's interesting, consider this: it's a gas station in the middle of nowhere that's also a bar. People pull in, fill up the car and have a pint and drive on. I'm sure this explains a lot about why they drive like they do. All joking aside though, I do love them. They're relaxed and friendly for the most part, especially warm towards cyclists and they live in a beautiful country.

Serendipity this one! I was experimenting with the autofocus on my camera . Interested to see if it would be fazed by a mirror I took this picture. I liked it so much that I then flipped it (to un-reverse the mirror image) and shared it with you out there!
doesn't this sort of look like a tic exploding?
Special thanks to Johnny for taking Kathy and I out last night to show us the ropes and share his truckload of light art toys (not joking). Fun night that involved getting busted by the cops, showing my 8 yr old nephew that photography isn't just about pointing and shooting, and learning a few things. Yay!
The Asteraceae or Compositae, also referred to as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family, is the largest family of vascular plants. The family has more than 22,750 currently accepted species, spread across 1620 genera, and 12 subfamilies. The largest genera are Senecio (1,500 species), Vernonia (1,000 species), Cousinia (600 species) and Centaurea (600 species).
Most members of the Asteraceae are herbaceous, but a significant number are also shrubs, vines and trees. The family is distributed throughout the world, and is most common in the arid and semi-arid regions of subtropical and lower temperate latitudes.
Many economically important products come from composites, including cooking oils, lettuce, sunflower seeds, artichokes, sweetening agents, and teas. Several genera are also very popular with the horticultural community, these include marigolds, chrysanthemums, dahlias, zinnias, and heleniums.
