My first DSLR! 6MP digital camera with interchangeable lenses.
I purchased this bowl on Etsy.com from Bridgeman Studios. Beautiful workmanship, simple design — exactly what I was looking for.
The flowers in the background are clay flowers purchased at the Ann Arbor Art Fairs… but they deserve their own close-up later.
Seen on William Street during the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, 19 July 2008.
The photos we took in Hawaii are now posted in a set on Flickr. If you go through the slideshow, it’ll take you about 25 minutes, assuming you don’t pause the slideshow and don’t skip through.
Next on the agenda: scanning the two photos we bought — one before the Orientation Breakfast (OMG cheesy!) and one before Germaine’s Luau (not really cheesy at all). Also, I plan to post some short videos (“moving pictures”) to Flickr, as I think some video we took will adhere nicely to that concept. I’m also going to edit together the 100 minutes of video we took into something a little more watchable.
For those of you who have asked if we’re planning a party to show off our pictures, here’s your Save The Date notice: June 21st, the first day of summer. Start scouring the local Goodwill for your aloha attire!

I donated 10 inches of my hair last weekend. I haven’t had hair this short in three years, and I’d forgotten how fun it is.
I have a new ‘do, and I’ve helped a cancer-stricken child get a new ‘do. It’s a win-win situation.

The seedlings are just over two weeks old, and they’re starting to show me what they’re made of. The catnip (above) is growing like mad, and I’m seriously contemplating planting it in a container, rather than in my soon-to-be herb garden. If I actually plant it in the ground, I expect that it will run rampant and destroy all growing things in its path.
The parsley is finally coming up, the sweet basil is growing tall and stately, and the lemon basil is about on a par with the parsley.
I’ve managed to kill four out of six hollyhocks, thanks to us being out of town during an apparently crucial watering weekend. (Who knew?) One had already died from damping-off, and three others just died of thirst. My two remaining hollyhocks are about 2-3″ tall and not very strong. One already needs staked, which can’t be good. I’m hoping they’ll grow out of it (so to speak).
