Amy put Sam in the rocking chair in the nursery this morning, and he decided to start reading without her. He was very intent on ‘Ten Apples Up on Top’ – and stayed there for a while checking out all of his favorite books. No sign of Ulysses, though. More photos here.
Taking the day off has been good for my creativity. I took a break from working on some docs for work (so not completely a day off I guess) to pull out my macro 50mm and see what I could capture in the yard. I’ve been pondering a new macro – like Canon’s spiffy 100mm version – to replace an off-brand not-so-sharp one I have now. But these images do look pretty cool. I like the bee and this weird bug above – almost as much as the sort of soft images of Sam’s face. You tell me what you think…Full gallery is here.
A quick photo post in keeping with the theme of the day….Sam and Dad headed to the Zoo since I was playing hooky today on my birthday. Full gallery is here.
We’ve had a dead tree in the backyard hanging over our parking slab for a while now, and it has come very close to dropping fairly large limbs on top of Amy’s car. We got the required permits from the city arborist, and a tree service came by bright and early to get the work done before the heat of the Atlanta spring was too much. Sam loved the show, watching the dozen or so workmen gather with their four trucks on our street, climb the trees, saw the limbs, and watch the dropping limbs. In the photo above, Sam claps as one of the larger limbs comes down. Gallery is here.
