Downtown Living

In some new buildings:

Random detritus:

I was trying to take photos of people smoking but this is the only one that turned out decently.  Seems pretty solitary:

Shoe frames:

Chopsticks

Taken in the chopsticks restaurant and of chopsticks:

Scaring People On The Bus

And taking random photos on the way.

Like of this sign:

 

And another look:

Street shots:

And bus shots:

Hanging Out Drinking On A Saturday

with your friends, is the way to spend the weekend:

And some random graffiti:

Raw Pork

Before being cooked, brining in the bowl:

And raw after it was cooked:

Staring At The Moon

Put Them Together And You Get A Full Kitty

Is This Michigan?

The snow has been crazy

Light My Fire

Helping With The Taxes

Or perhaps guarding them:

Rocking Out

Tim rocking the rock band guitar and a bag of sparks wandering down the street:

Rocking in the mirror:

Rocking on the street:

Scapes

Some clouds:

Inside the cafe:

Outside the house:

Catching The Beard

In full craziness:

And then just a basketball photo I like:

Fog And Snow

Lots of fog recently and today I finally had my camera with me.  Surprisingly there was also a lot of frost at work.

On the bridge:

More on the bridge:

The water and fog, although it is a little hard to actually see the lake :):

 

Trees in the mist:

And again in a more abstract fashion:

Some frost on the blue sky:

And then a photo I took tonight walking around:

A Temper

To the unbridled optimism of the last post.  This is a video shot by a still photographer and I really appreciate the style.  The subject matter is something that weighs on your mind though.  Tying back to the optimism though hopefully this is something we can all help out in the next 4 years.

The Best Day In 8 Years

You all know why:

It is good to see everyone so excited about the possibilities of the next 4 (at least).

Also made some dinner tonight.  I love that it is called dill weed (hahahahahahaha):

The finished bread encrusted fish and salad:

Clocks And Cats

Just playing around with the flash and some round the house items:

Like Jjang having too many things to play with:

Lake Shots And Friends

Kind of like Memento this is going to go in reverse.

Had dinner with an some old co-workers, one of whom was in from Beijing.  It was a lot of fun and I am glad we got to catch him before his flight back the following day.

A little bit of a height discrepancy:

And everyone at dinner.

Guannan:

Nana:

Yachi:

Guannan again:

And some of the shots from earlier in the day of around the neighborhood of Calla.

Kids playing?:

An abandoned school:

Which still does not allow weapons:

Some ducks hanging out:

And some people hanging out:

Flour And Flowers

I cannot remember where I took this exactly but I am guessing near Calla.  I like how the middle texture really jumps out in this:

Some of the store’s namesake:

And my attempt at dinner this week.  I think if I keep up the making dinner at least once a week I will also try to take a picture of at least one of the ingredients and the finished product.  Good practice if nothing else:

And product:
