Largest wintering population in the lower 48
Last week I went on a salmon spawning survey. Didn’t see too many live fish…and those that we did see were tough to photograph, even with a polarizing filter. What we saw plenty of were eagles. Hundreds of them.
Isis’ first swim
I posted about it at the time. But it’s cracking me up to reminisce.
You can bring your dog
Last summer we took Isis on a couple of road trips. She does great in the car, but her nighttime barking was a major stressor. Even though we stayed places that allowed dogs (except for one sleazy place we sneaked her into. Sneaked. A German shepherd.), every time she barked, Rob said, “She’s going toContinue reading “You can bring your dog”
Moshi Moshi
Rob’s parents and older sister are hosting Japanese exchange students for two weeks. Three boys altogether. We met them this morning and showed them how to play Wii. I got all excited about showing them my photos from when I stayed with a family in Japan for two weeks when I was almost their sameContinue reading “Moshi Moshi”
Little tearful

I’ve finally gotten around to editing my Mumbai (Bombay) and Delhi photos, and I think the reason it took me so long is that I feel conflicted about those captured moments. That was about the point the trip turned around, and our daysContinue reading “Flashing back (cue whoosing sound from Lost)”
Closer to home
I’m sorry, little blog, how I’ve been neglecting you. That Facebook thing sure takes a lot of time. (Scrabulous, especially). Then there’s the processing of my India photos, which got sidelined last week as I actually tried to do my job. Here I am, working hard at my job. We haven’t had many of theseContinue reading “Closer to home”
Our trip in pictures (Part 1 of 999)
I hope no one’s tired of my trip to India yet. We’ve been back almost 2 weeks, and I’m still uploading pictures. Can you believe I’ve created 7 new albums on Facebook, and not one of them contains a picture of my dog? Nepal Along the Ganges The Bodhi Tree Calcutta, Chennai and Cochin ObligatoryContinue reading “Our trip in pictures (Part 1 of 999)”
