Pirate Queen: “Actually, mustard is really growing on me.”
Me: “Like a Chia Pet?! Sweet.”


Some of the pictures that I’ve uploaded over the last little while:


Of our discontent.

I am in favour of some global warming; actually, it doesn’t need to be more than local warming. I live on a hill, the water levels can rise, but I’m tired of wearing long johns to work.

I’d rather strut like this dude:

In bed related issues, I finally caved into the Mrs.’ demands and purchased some feather pillows. I don’t want to make a note about the frequency of this, but it is notable: she was right! They are super comfy (romantic dividends will be zero, as although I caved, I referred to her as ‘the Mrs.’ Twice.).

Attention! Something is …open!

PS: Today I ate a sandwich. It was good: prosciutto & old cheddar on a croissant.

Avast!

Jasmine:
i’m bored
and should sleep

Jamie:
me too
you can crash on my couch if you want
you’ll have to move the guitars though

Jasmine:
heh
sounds tempting

Jamie:
it’s a marvelous couch
it’s an Autobot. It’s currently in ‘bed’ mode

Jasmine:

do you have any deceptecons?

Jamie:

Here are the naughty bits of some otherwise respectable plants (ask a subject to model for you, and you can shoot anything with them):

Serendipibee and Swans-sans

In honour of this post, I’ve just composed a poem:

life is hectic
still get to take pictures
this haiku sucks

© 2006 Jamie Reid (I know I have to put this here, or some ingrate will steel this).

A lot of these come from the Public Gardens, and the rest from Pamela’s mom’s garden, which is very similar to the Public Gardens; except, you know, not public, and the gazebo isn’t finished yet.



I really like how the 50mm lens softens the edges of the image here (no, that’s not Photoshop).


Serendipibee.

When I saw the swan rear up, I excitedly rattled off several frames, jubilant that I was going to capture the swan with its wings outstretched:

Damn kids

Shot some more of the graffiti walls on my street on Saturday.


I think there’s some biting commentary on our military in there somewhere. …

Here are a few pictures of some of the ever changing (and very impressive) graffiti in the parking lot on the corner of Morris and Lower Water.
