Small honor system library in West Virginia

In West Virginia, last spring, we happened upon this small book store/library that was completely open with no one on staff at all. Just a building along a road with the door open, actually open not just unlocked, where you could go in grab a book or two. Totally awesome.

Black Phoebe

Several birds have visited our bird feeder since we’ve moved into the new apartment. I have yet to get a really good capture of any of them though the opportunities have been there. I’m hoping to score a few before winter is over. This particular bird, I think, is a Black Phoebe.

French toast made with cinnamon bread

Like last time I used this recipe. It was a little sweet for me (typically I do not order my french toast with cinnamon or powered sugar) but it turned out really good. The bread was from Bingham’s Restaurant (Google Map link).

Bird of Paradise flower (not an orchid)

While in Hawaii last year, visiting Shane and Roxanne in Kailua, Eliza and I found this orchid Bird of Paradise flower behind a few garbage cans near a burger joint we were having dinner at. It just shows you that beauty runs deep in Hawaii. Update: I stand corrected. Mike Cohen commented that this is actually [...]

Swimming with barracuda

Let me tell you about swimming with barracuda. Barracuda are a gorgeous fish. Their appearance is famously fearsome, they are incredibly fast, and can grow to almost 6ft. in length. Generally speaking men have little to fear from barracuda. It is wise to be cautious when swimming with them but so long as you follow a [...]

My friend Raymond and I hiked to the top of Elk Mountain this evening, trying to take advantage one of the last nice days for this fall, and took some photos of various things. Here are some of mine.

Cicada skins

After climbing a tree at Lehigh University in an attempt to capture a cicada I ended up finding several skins left on a tree at about eye level. Go figure. There is tons of information on Cicadas on Wikipedia. Worth perusing.

For the birds…

Click on the images to zoom. For much, much larger versions click here, and here. I’ve been remiss to update everyone on our current bird feeder situation. Since Eliza purchased the $1 bird feeder we’ve upgraded our offerings to our feathered friends many fold. First, we put out a bird-bath type feeder that, rather than filling [...]

Fishing with kids

Eliza and I did a little fishing with my friend Johnny and his kids Kristopher, Micailyn, and Nicolas on Wednesday. Fishing with kids is always an adventure.

Recent rainbows

Not the greatest photos, that’s for sure (the second was was taken through our living room window in our apartment with an iPhone), but I find rainbows just great. Recently we’ve had an awful lot of rain, and particularly when it rains in the evenings the sun is shining through the rain and mist, making [...]

A magnified mosquito

This little guy put a pretty good suckin’ on my hand before I figured out he was in the house. So I trapped him under my magnifying glass for a few hours before using my junk-store-salvaged microscope to look at him up close and personal.

My brother Peter fooling around with his new DSLR which is the new Digital Rebel XSi. He’s now a Canon person like Eliza and I (we have matching Digital Rebel XTis).
