Hey For-Life,

Who is the Dude in the barrel?

[For-Life]

Sorry that I took so long to fix the pictures. They shrunk at the other site I used.

Fezz, that was I. Go big or go home, that is what I always say.

Am I the only one who noticed that Grubendol was sporting drivewear. Oh yeah!


Here are a few more pictures from the event (sorry, was wearing contacts :():

This is me with the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (I am on the right)



some people I partied with




More party animals

I absolutely love my drivewear...though I've been using those frames for almost two years now, I'm starting to itch for an update, not to mention my Rx has changed.

We had a good dew overnight so I found this by my driveway this morning.

Miss AVA in the middle of the back seat!

[Snitgirl]

I bet she had fun papa hj!! Is that you driving??

Here is little Miss Siena on Canada day. The weather was pretty amazing!!

P.S. I am not affiliated with the person who's name is on the balloon.

Oh my goodness Snitgirl! What was Siena eating in that last shot?? :D

[mlm]

So, I'm finally back from Optometry's Meeting. I took some extra days off after the conference to take as many photos as I possibly could in a 4 day span :bbg:

- the view from the fire escape at Pensione Nichols (the B&B where I was staying): Qwest Field and Mount Rainier in the background, Pike Place Market is at the very edge of the foreground

- Dale Chihuly glass exhibit in the Washington State Trade and Convention Center

- my dinner at the Pink Door, linguine alla vongole (taken with my brand new 50mm macro lens!)

- Seattle Centre, taken from the top of the Watertower Observatory in Volunteer Park

- a fuschia at the Volunteer Park Conservatory

[mlm]

More photos (eventually all of the photos will be on my flickr site, but since I took more photos in those 4 days than in the 18 days I was in Vietnam, it's going to take a while)

- found Nemo at the Seattle Aquarium!

- fruits at Pike Place Market

- fountain and sculpture at Olympic Sculpture Park, part of the Seattle Art Museum

- mmmmmm...fish and chips eaten out at the waterfront

- another shot with my new macro lens!!

[Snitgirl]

Squash and oh, the blue icing is from birthday cake.. lol

Oh my goodness Snitgirl! What was Siena eating in that last shot?? :D

[Snitgirl]

OMG, OMG... YAHOOOOOO! Finally, finally!!! MLM's photos.. thank goodness there isn't a counter that displays how many times I've been on your flickr site in hopes of seeing your Seattle photos... lol You'd think I was stalking you!!! lol

All nice one's on OB. I especially love the fruit shot.. You going to frame that and hang it in your kitchen???

Looking forward to your Flickr. Come on now, spend hours on it and then you can catch up on your sleep tomorrow, Sunday.. tee hee

Well, I was THERE, but I don't eat seafood.....so I had a couple of hot dogs!

PS to snitgirl- no that was not me in the MG, it was my best friend.

Don't eat seafood?? Oh man, I so would have eaten your share for you! :D Great pics!!

[mlm]

Oh, I forgot to show off my dissection photos! I'm really, really sorry for the crappy quality; I was holding my cell phone with a paper towel while wearing gloves. (Note to self: cell phone cameras suck.)

I made notes on my flickr photos for non-ECPs:

I was gonna ask you if that was an MG. My uncle had one just like it. You could do a circle in our street without touching the curbs - tight turning circle.:D

[DragonLensmanWV]

I've been called four-eyes my whole life. Here's photographic proof!

And here's one of a customer's Great Dane she brought in for us to visit with. He sure was a nice doggie!

[DragonLensmanWV]

Caught this photo this evening of a giant hibiscus after the bloom died.

I think it looks a lot like Audrey II from Little Shop Of Horrors.:D

[wolfman]

I took these pictures at Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in New Mexico. The second picture is the wolf getting ready to give me kisses.

Nice shots, Wolfman. I'm guessing you have an affinity for wolves?

my first thought the wolves are cool.

my second thought is about mr mitchels assertion that all opticians have goatees.
