In the misty morning light
Among fields of white fluffy sproutlings
In little nooks and crannies in moss and lichen covered roots
In leaves that catch and hold onto sunshine
Where do you find fairies and magic?

Time for a photowalk, with images that caught my eye and made me happy today.
Gray morning, after a windy, rainy week, but a few leaves are still clinging on.
Fuzzies and bright leaves on one branch
Would you like an apple, little girl?
The WonderPup, although she makes me happy every day!
Why, yes, Bliss is spelled [...]

Meet ShutterCal – a really awesome day-in-the-life social photo calendar site. The goal is for people to shoot every day, post it on the site, and see what your year looks like. There is no general theme, just to keep shooting, and share what you find.

Had a lovely little photo adventure today in Chapel Hill
Lovely trees and lights
lovely light, my favorite
quite possibly the best name of a restaurant ever
Neat oil and spices in a fabulous Mediterranean deli
I think the fountain bird would quite like this nest that was part of a window display
Hookahs. Didn’t see a hookah-smoking caterpillar though.
The leaves [...]

For the past almost five years, I’ve been driving a toaster. A Scion Xb toaster to be specific. Exceptionally good at being square and holding lots of things, not so exceptional at accelerating, turning, driving, being quiet, being fun.
But as of Friday, I no longer drive a toaster – I drive the BatMobile (named BatManuel [...]

The past month, and longer, I’ve not been myself, trapped in being unwell, with no energy left for anything I normally do. The fog is lifting, sun is breaking up the shadows and I am feeling much more like my usual mermaid self.
Some recent-ish photos that I love, and that make me feel happy, just [...]

I also downloaded an app for the iPhone that lets you make pictures into Polaroid-like images (not actually a Polaroid product)
And an app that acts like many different camera styles, so you can get cool, pop art pictures like this:
This is the original of that shot:

Uh oh, Clive the Pocket Lion [...]

We went out last night with our friends Andy and Jess and had such a great night. We went to Blue Corn Cafe, which is one of my favorite restaurants in Durham. After a great dinner, we then went to check out 3rd Friday Durham, where some galleries were open late, serving champagne and snacks. [...]

Have I mentioned that I love my iPhone? Love. And I really like that I have a camera on me at all times now — because as much as I love my beautiful, awesome, swoony Nikon D50, sometimes I don’t want to have a big camera with me. Having the built-in camera gives me a [...]
