So, since I last blogged I went to Brooklyn, saw The Little Mermaid, went to the Natural History Museum, walked across Central Park (again), went to the Met, saw the Guggenheim (wow, oh wow, was this an incredible exhibit), had a slice, went to the UN building, went to the top (well, almost) of the [...]

So, yesterday I walked around Manhattan. Like, all of it. You can see the route I took below: There’s more photos at the Flickr page, but here are a few of my favorites:

Meredith and I arrived in New York at about 3 p.m. (following a bus ride from Baltimore that was somewhat disconcerting because our driver never stopped talking on his phone). We walk about 7 blocks from our hotel until we reached Central Park, where we spent a couple of hours looking around. Above is “The [...]

I recently downloaded the Aperture 2 trial from Apple to see what it offers. I’m still exploring, but I absolutely love the concept. I don’t know, maybe Photoshop CS3 has some of these features, but take a look at the White Balance and Color sliders: Yeah, you saw it right: when you want to adjust [...]

From Sunday: (click the photo for a larger version and for more info)

Here’s Squishy sleeping in her favorite position. I’ve always kinda dug the way she curls up, but in a way that says “Yes, you can come rub my belly, I won’t mind.” Meanwhile, Nutmeg caught her reflection in a mirror, and decided to engage in a staring contest. Care to guess who won?

Here’s Nutmeg sniffing out Beta, one of the Sunlight Foundation’s Pleos. They’re basically little robotic dinosaur pets, incredible lifelike for the technology: they coo when you pet them, and have a fit if you hand them by their tales. Yes: they’re cats in dinosaur form. The Nut and Squishy were both intrigued, but never really [...]

Made it back to Silver City yesterday, and stopped to take a picture. The smokestacks may be gone, but I still enjoy the view, and, to be honest, I think I prefer it this way.

And Brian Auer goes and submits the Rainbow Drops photo to Digg, thereby (from what I gather in comments) bringing Live from Silver City to the usual screeching halt that results when some no-name site makes the front page. If you came by and couldn’t get through, my apologies. But hey, you’re here now, so [...]

Yesterday I blogged about the colors around the area, and then this morning I found an overabundance: The dew was everywhere this morning, and the only trouble I had was finding something orange! I had to settle on a leaf in the sun, which meant the dew was already gone. I hope you don’t mind. [...]

I mentioned on the Flickr page for this photo that we’re starting to see more color in the trees. Last night my sister said the leaves aren’t changing as quickly as usual, so plans to go shoot fall colors this weekend may be postponed a week. Still, you can find pockets and bursts of colors [...]
