Congratulations! [PotD]
Congrats to Joel and Kristin on their wedding day! They had people throw popcorn as they made their way out of the church!

This adorable little guy only has three legs, but he has such a sweet personality.
Bottle Armor [PotD]
Saw these at Wilson’s. They also had some wonderful Zinfandel’s, and some yummy tritip to eat with them! But the bottle armor pictured above was a cute idea. I’d never have it in my home, but it was sure cute.

If you have lightroom, give this a try. I plan to!

I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping it around or not. Still evaluating. Depends on a few features, and if the site is too slow to load. So let me know what you think of it in terms of design and performance. It doesn’t have everything I want yet, but it’s always easy to add content.
Corkscrew [PotD]
I *loved* these vines I found while walking back from the library. Very interesting. I took a lot of pictures of them but this was the best one. I love how the whole curlycue is in focus, and the crosshatching of the fence behind it makes it interesting.
Lens: 50mm f/1.8
Fenced In [PotD]
One of the first pictures I took with my new 50mm f1.8 II lens. Love the shallow depth of field that allows me to have only one fence post in focus!
Saturday, in Pictures
After I got back from teaching martial arts and playing around with interesting fan tricks (weapons training), Ben and I went out for breakfast at the Original Pancake House. Please do not confuse this with IHOP. This place is millions of times better.
I had the Dutch Baby, which was accompanied by these goodies. I didn’t use the syrup. I dusted the thing in powdered sugar and then bombed the little powdered sugar “cities” with lemon juice. It makes for quite the yummy pancake. They also have a killer apple cinnamon pancake, and just about any other yummy thing you can think of.
A side of fresh berries and cream was absolutely necessary. Look at them! So yummy!
I was quite happy with my meal, as this photo Ben snapped can show.
After breakfast (which was at 2pm) I strolled over to the library. They were having a book sale, so I stopped in to check it out. They were selling books by the inch, so I got a couple really thick ones for about three bucks. One of which was Bill Moyers discussion of Genesis with a bunch of different people. Looked interesting.
They had a lovely children’s section at the library. It was just a branch so there wasn’t much selection overall for books, but when it came to the children’s section, they had just about everything. Very cool and colorful design. If I were a kid I’d want to go there often.
I also took photos on my way to and from the library, but I’ll save those for some of the photos of the day!
My Goal
We’re all searching for how to have hope in a world that ultimately breaks our hearts. We’re all trying to figure out how to give our lives meaning. We may all have different answers to the question, but the essential struggle is a universal and human one.
It is this struggle that interests me, and that I will use this blog to explore through various philosophical, spiritual, and aesthetic means.
