Posting has been slow the past week or so. The home Internet connection is still out, and I am having to depend on free WiFi at the local latte haus, as well as my 3G phone tethered to the Macbook via a Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network.) However, I wanted to make sure you had some reason (e.g. "new content") to come visit me this week, so here goes:

Just to remind you that, in case you think I am "leaf"ing you along, I am "petal"ling as fast as I can.

Sotty this post is late, but my home Internet connection went down on Friday - and so posting has been very delayed.

This weekend, I had the chance (finally!) to take a trip to the Houston Zoo, where I had a chance to play with use my new Canon EF 70-200 f/4L USM lens. In honor of the day, I present to you my photo "essay" on:

Today, I had all sorts of plans made, and I was going to go out, shoot some new and exciting images, and have lots of neat stuff to show you.

Alas.. twas not to be.

When we got to the car this morning, it was leaning at a strange angle, indicating something was wrong. Sure enough, the right front tire had decided to hook up with a nail/bolt/stud/whatever, with the result being that it was totally deflated. There started a comedy of errors, in which everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Fortunately, thanks to the much-needed assistance from a neighbor, we finally got the car to the point a new tire could be bought and installed.

So, I decided to go back through the image archive, and find something that matched the mood I have been in all day:

Mountains in haze

Piqued, and hazy... that sums it up pretty nicely.

Recently, I had the opportunity to go out to lunch at a local seafood house. Which was offering Gulf oysters on the half shell for a ridiculously low price. It was too good to pass up... so I didn't.
