SS: This was the bluest thing I found on short notice. It's strictly ornamental and not even functional. It's two inches tall of 'why the hell does my wife keep this stuff around?!"
MM: Wife's got too many knick-knacks! ARGH...

A wonderful walk in the Lakes is following the dry stone wall on Lingmoor Fell to Side Pike. The Squeeze, on the right side of the image, did slow the walk a bit as removing the backpack was required in order to get through. Blea Tarn is in the distance.
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, New Mexico.
On your way from the parking lot uphill to the tent rocks you'll pass this short slot canyon.
Hello from Beau...he's been on a modelling hiatus...but he's back!
Today one of the stickers off his newest squeaker toys got stuck on his head....I managed to get this shot before he got it off himself.
If you ever want to check out lots of Beau shots I have a blog about him www.allaboutbeau.blogspot.com
Funny Story:
I went out the other night and crashed at a friend's place. The next morning I felt the usual post-heavy-night-of-drinking bowel urges, but decided not to destroy my friend's bathroom and just save it till I got home.
I'm on the road for about 5 minutes when suddenly, and without any warning at all (other than the warning light that had been on for 6 days) I run out of gas.
I pull off to a residential street in Beverly Hills and call AAA, who says they'll be there in no more than 30 minutes. Great. But the moment I hang up the phone... uh oh.
Biological emergency.
My first instinct is to find an alley, but in Beverly Hills there are no abandoned alleys that you can drop trow in willy nilly. So I go running down the street in the hopes of making it to a cafe or something, but nothing's open. Not even Petco.
Then, like an oasis in the desert, I spot a motel. I nearly get killed running across the street and, with a look that I'm sure said "either I shit in your bathroom or I shit on your floor," ask the woman at the counter if I may use the facilities.
When I say I JUST made it, we're talking fractions of a second. You wouldn't believe the sense of both relief and accomplishment that overwhelmed me. But that, of course, is when the tow truck calls and tells me they're going to leave if I'm not back at my car in 5 minutes.
So I wrap up and now I'm back in the street, running to get back to my car. I'm standing in the median of Santa Monica Blvd. and for some reason the traffic begins to stop to let me pass. I hate when cars do this, but whatever. First a van in the far lane stops, then the Porsche next to him. I reluctantly begin to cross and sheepishly wave to thank them for stopping.
And that's when I did a double-take as I noticed who was driving the Porsche.
It was House.
Yes, Hugh Laurie. WTF indeed.
So if you're keeping score, that's running out of gas for the first time in my life, coming the closest to shitting myself since I was probably 8, and a celebrity sighting.
All before breakfast.
Squeeze box: my gurney just fits into the elevator. And with six other people piling in after me, there's barely room to think.
A friend of mine once told me that it is important that you should keep photographies as simple as possible. My previous picture is my favorite one from the set but I decided to give this one a go. Hope you enjoy it!

This photo has won the First Place in challenge session of dpreview.com.
This photo was taken during a world championship in Saga, Japan. While I was busy for shooting hundreds of balloons coming down for landing, I was so shocked to see this scene, and it seemed they keep squeezing to each other.
The Saga International Balloon Fiesta (佐賀インターナショナルバルーンフェスタ) is held at the beginning of November every year in Saga Prefecture, Japan.
The fiesta is held just outside of Saga City, along the Kase River. It has attracted over 150 balloons, and has gained a reputation as one of the top ballooning competitions in the world.
