    Ok, yes, this picture is exactly what it looks like: A ton of blurry little baby fish swimming around one of their proud new parents. It is getting a little out of control. I mean, I know it is spring and everything, but for these guys to spawn twice in  2 months seems to be…

    Happy Memorial Day! This post is kind of a cop out. This was the second song that came on when I put the headphones on, this morning. It is Fatboy Slim, from the “Norman Cook Collection.” The Norman Cook Collection, if you haven’t heard it, consists of a bunch of pretty cool tracks that Cook…

    I saw the walls of our neighboring building glowing pink, this evening. So I decided to go on the roof to investigate. I didn’t edit this  shot at all (but for scaling it for downloadability). There was some serious fuschia going on up there.
