Mead Garden, Winter Park, Florida.'

This woman has had a pretty rough spell with a lot of major changes in her life in a year. But she's done her best to manage them with grace and ease. And I'm sure the sunshine, good food, fresh and warm air of San Francisco have made it easier for her. I truly think that she has every ability she needs to get through life as an inspiration for everyone who loves her. And she has an amazing partner in life who enhances everything about her that makes me love and miss her.

Crazy eyes, as inspired by @lauren*o for @poohba02.

Happy now?

Friends, if you haven't done this yet, consider yourself tagged. :)

Here's how it works: within five minutes of seeing this photo, take a self portrait. Upload it to flickr and tag some peeps, yo!

Black morph.

I think only Jen has a website amongst these peeps. But they all work for an ad agency!

Eating a nut on the patio. Look at it's peculiar nose.

Paraxerus cepapi

i bought this yarn in austin at country hill weavers, oh, about two and a half years ago, and just a month ago finished this scarf. though it doesn't look like it, it's actually a lace pattern, and was a pain in my butt. but at least i like how it turned out.

This little tree squirrel was foraging on the ground at the Stevenson-Hamilton Rock memorial.

Love the muddy nose.

For the first time in a while, we had the larger tree squirrels at our feeders. There were five of them at one point in time - clearly they heard from their cousins in Ann Arbor that I was a softie for squirrels. That was just a matter of time, I suppose! Cosmo and Wanda were enjoying it for sure.

birthday dinner (for Naz and me) at The Publican

my latest creation of the ribbons/pearls/chains collection. this one isn't as long as the first one i did, but i quite like the color combo. very sophisticated.

naz said it reminded him of chocolate. i don't think that's bad.

There were great hosts

I think this chap is a Smith's Bush Squirrel (Paraxeus cepapi). I like meeting all wild animals while on 'safari' so despite this being a rat like like rodent, I was till chuft to meet him. Pity that he chose to pose on a man made element....

I like this one a lot. Mostly because of the light. I also like remount photos for some reason. There's something visceral about remounts and kinda, frankly, funny.

Blogged.
