It was a good day to splash in the pool.

Action shot!

An Irish man, who shall remain nameless, tried to claim that this photo kinda looks like I did it in Photoshop.

I beg to differ, and want to go to photoshop war with him. ;)

I should have paid better attention, but there was a beautiful, shiny, sparkly glass ball catching my eye as I walked in from the parking lot of the Kitt Peak observatory.

There was a placard giving information about the artist, who had to collaborate with Corning and other glass specialists to design this elaborate sun dial.

Izumi thought that Bill especially would enjoy this photo. It reminds me of somebody. But I am not sure who.

I would love to be able to identify the species of this guy, but will have to ask my mom again. She might know.

I will think about rolling my child in this.

and thus you are all deprived of more entries tonight.

Go ahead and click on the photo and look at my flickr photostream. There are descriptions on nearly all the photos that are more entertaining than what I could have blogged anyway.

I think that I should send in this photo to the casting director for Avatar, the Last Racist.

Look at this placid photo of a beautiful child enjoying mashed organic apples.

Now look at this other photo of the contentment on his face.

Now look at what can shoot out of his mouth.

I learn new things everyday.

I almost think that DeForest Kelly is alive and well again.

Blaze forth, where no doctor has gone before, McCoy.

to Sabino Canyon. It just takes us a very long time to get rolling out the door. There has to be multiple stops to Jimmy John's, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, etc.

But the great thing is that after taking the tram up to the top of the canyon, we walked down a lot farther than we ever had before. Even my father walked a tremendous distance.

After five years, I have again returned to Tucson Arizona with my Mom, Dad and little sister. Time hasn't changed my parents much— Mom still is wonderfully engaged by the world around us, her senses in overdrive. I did walk in on my dad taking a bath and he looked like a very pleased otter playing in the water.

It's my younger sister who has gone through the most change. She has her baby here, and I get to experience parenting by proxy again. It shows me how much I take life for granted when I realize things I overlooked, like electrical plugs.

And.... done.

And.... done.
