This visit was the first time I met Olivia (I had met her 4 brothers and 2 sisters many times). SHe is a happy 11 month old - she has a great smile.
We had a party for my Sherman, my brother, to celebrate his 60th birthday. We played a few rounds of Cornhole.
Jimmy Dean was barking at Link and Frank - I have no idea why. When he approached, Frank took off, so he might have been the intended target.
I fed Jimmy Dean, Link and Frank but only Link was eating his food - Jimmy Dean and Frank wanted my food (I like the final chuffing noise JD makes at me).
Late night with a lap full of dogs, well Link and Frank in my lap, Jimmy Dean next to me cleaning his feet (as always).
I had used the lawn mower to bag leaves and twigs - Jimmy Dean, Link and Frank liked the mess it left behind.
I took a video of each dog - Jimmy Stars in this one, I will post the others in the days to come) to see the reactions I get when calling them back in. Also, as you can see with three dog, the fall of 2010 floods and then bitter cold winter - my back yard is wiped out and needs a lot of seed in the spring.
Not only does the robot get progressively angrier the more it's poked in the eye (it'll calm down if you stop), but it'll also say random stuff if prodded in the mouth. Various quips include:
"Oh yea baby. Right there."
"Where has that finger been?"
"Oh great -- this again."
"Does anyone else see this?"
And many, many more!
I was eating an apple and all three boys crowded around, they love apples. Frank was very interested in my apple. He finally got the core; after I put the camera down I took some of the apple core back and gave some to Jimmy Dean.
Sculptures by Harry Bertoia at the Milwaukee Museum of Art. I didn't plan or choreograph this shot, it just sort of happened!
My neighbor has three large dogs and two cats. The cats are not afraid of dogs and they like to hang around my house - teasing my dogs. Link and Frank get all worked where as Jimmy Dean tires of the cat quickly. A sure sign that Linkis excited is his tail - watch it - it goes left, right, up, down --- it's all over the place.
Sign-off. Eventually everyone does.
Some people may remember when TV didn't broadcast 24 hours every day. Some people may recall waking up in the early morning hours to something like this.
But that's not what this is about. It's about the contemplation of something greater. An interpretation of something we all are bound to, an inevitability of sorts.
I will leave it at that. I'll let the viewer think about what it may be. Or may not be.
Chanting at La Muela near Xela
The point of this isn't the photography, since I didn't think it polite to interrupt the chanting to ask permission to take a picture. But in capturing the vista, you can hear the chanting above the friendly chatter. We rock climbed to the top of the spires and had lunch. I believe the indigenous people continued chanting for many hours, quite lovely. This place is known as "La Muela", or the molars, for its jagged appearance. I showed this video to mi abuela, Matilde. Her response to me was beautiful, she said "puedo ver con tus ojos". That's art!
State Street near the subway station exit at Macy's (Marshall Field's). The sound of the subway's escalator can be heard in the background.
Washington Street (at State St.) approx. 10:25am on Wed., Feb. 2, the morning after the big snowstorm.
Here is a little howling session conducted by my daughter Samantha. Needless to say the dogs enjoy this very much! This is right before our precious little Cyrena got real sick.
I don't know why I try - Jimmy Dean likes to play fetch but he is not always willing to bring the toy back until he is good and ready.
The Charles W. Morgan is the last remaining wooden whaleship and the oldest American commercial vessel still in existence. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, she sailed on 37 voyages around the globe during an 80-year whaling career. The vessel came to Mystic Seaport in 1941 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967. Currently undergoing extensive restoration, the ship will be re-launched in July of 2013 and will embark on her 38th Voyage to historic ports in New England in 2014.
