Update: Links fixed. Sorry for the error! It’s after midnight Friday, and the promised Garden Tour photographs haven’t been posted yet. Sorry. As if that’s not bad enough, last night — my first available photo-editing time since getting back in town — was spent out and about, first at Cocktail Hour, then at Mark Brooker’s [...]

Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this evening at Kim Wold’s. As my “official” Cocktail Hour postings go, it’s the second in a row for her — but there have been three in the interim that I have not been able to get to. Sorry. Meanwhile, many thanks to Kim for hosting. (Again.) And a familiar-yet-still-cute boy, who [...]

A total of 72 photographs have been posted to the full Hay Day 2009 gallery. Enjoy. Before you head on over to the photographs, know that in a couple of places, I made the choice not to crop down the cutout poses — felt the subjects were either better off without, or where it was [...]

Enjoyed Easter weekend with Dan and Monica and selected portions of the Magnolia Street Mob. What a fun group of folks. The theme was Tapas, with a huge selection of little stuff instead of one huge ham (Connor notwithstanding…;) Speaking of whom: here he is, looking especially pleased with the just-consumed chocolate kiss: Unlike Connor, [...]

Update: Full set posted. More here. Original post: One of those detours I mentioned a while back was an ad for Hay Day, a mini-festival at the beautiful Hay House mansion in downtown Macon: Hay Day was today, and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I didn’t make a big deal, as I’m far [...]

…the rest of the Cherry Blossom parade photographs have finally been posted. Forgive the delay. In addition to a frankly insane schedule the past couple of weeks, I’m in the midst of working on the house — which means dust, distractions, sweat, more distractions, headaches, and, have I mentioned, distractions? Anyway, to the newly-added goodness: [...]

Update: Both the bed race and downtown galleries are now complete (see links below); the parade gallery is in process and should be uploaded Friday. Thanks! Warning: long post ahead. Folks wonder why I’m late with putting stuff up; instead of developing what I already have am behind on, I added 1187 new raw photographs [...]

New host Jennifer Look hosted the Feb 26th edition of our Cocktail Hour get-together. Enjoyed her home, but it’s a temporary thing — she’s moving soon, to over near Mercer. Looking forward to an event in her new home soon. In honor of the move, I present a traveler: The Walking Tassel Couple of people [...]

Mucho behind on blog posts. Apologies. Been incredibly busy the past few weeks, mostly precluding the more “leisurely” activities. Amongst which — for me, at least — includes blogging. Like I said, sorry. Most recently, I promised a Maine update soon. Alas, no; try as I could, the sum of those thousands of photographs is [...]

…of the things I promised — snapshots or Maine, I mean — but couldn’t resist calling out this shot of sweet Bee, from today: Bee’s (Beautiful) Curiosity I love my kids cats. Glad to have a happy family. Have a good weekend, everyone.
