check it out all! I have added new categories under the animals
section. I didn't add any new birds if you're wondering because
the sun sets here early now and I can't get any pics after work.
I would get some during work like I used to but I am super busy!

Below are 2 pics not categorized yet.
first is an EPIC beer I found as the sticker clearly shows. $4 a bottle and worth it!
second is a bumper sticker that I just don't understand what the message is really supposed to be. do they think bowling is debatable to suicide? seems that way but that's just not true.
Enjoy!!!

I have to finish identifying a couple animals but I have a few more sections I am going to add under the animals page for pictures. Woodland creatures, insects, and such. I also will add some nature pics while I am at it. This has been a quick update. Have a swell day

I am sad that I haven't had good opportunities to take more nature shots than I have so far but it's really tough to get anything worth much when it's cloudy out. there have been some sunny days here this last week after a long streak of crap! Also I have been working lots and I can't stop on the side of the road and snap birds and such like I used to because I am in a big city area now and there's usually nowhere to pull off when I see something sweet! Here is some stuff though.

  

1.Moon cake in the shape of a pig
2 Karel enjoying her anniversary dinner at Gold Tent (Mongolian barbecue)
3. Stray cats using a dead truck piled with trash for a scavenging adventure

  

These are from Davis Graveyard located in SE Portland and they have a website
davisgraveyard.com if you would like to check it out. They decorate very well and detailed!

  

1. This is a silhouette shot of a Stellar's Jay. I love this picture.
2. A patented Oregon orange squirrel. strange story is that the red squirrels started to mate with the gray squirrels and now there aren't many either pure red or gray ones just the mix colors.
3. There are LOTS of hummingbirds out here but seeing one still for more than 3 seconds doesn't happen. I managed this shot but not sure what kind it is.

 

1. The Vaux's Swifts in a swarm up high
2. This is the best so far I've seen for foliage

Now I am tired, too much computer time, I am going to play with my Tavern Puzzle of which I will take pictures. I am also going to post a video of the anniversary gift Karel got me which was a different Tavern Puzzle.

ok, first off my e-mail is not a link, and the reason the @ symbol isn't there is because spam emailers would be able to obtain my email if that was a link and then send me even more crap.

Wendy, I guess when Karel re-did your section the sparrow I had didn't stay so I'll fix that shortly.

I hope everyone is enjoying the site. I will be posting our cross country photos on my Flickr account because it's easier to use it for slide show presentations. I hope to complete that by no later than Wednesday night. When am done I will notify everyone of my account name and how to view it. It is currently Tuesday and I have an anniversary to celebrate so tonight probably will not give me enough time to get it all done.

I have also been cursed since I got here with being able to get pictures of birds. I have seen some very interesting west coast birds but many are so fast that I can't get them in time. I won't give up though. Unfortunately the cloudy weather is approaching and my window for sunny day pictures is closing. I hope there will be enough light even when the winter clouds close in so I can still take quality pictures.

Thanks again for checking out the site!
-Brian & Karel-

The site is complete! Now all can look at what Karel has created for me to display my pictures on. I will constantly be adding pictures and likely add different photo sections over time when I get photos I don't have a section for yet. I am highly excited to have this so I don't have to send everybody pictures through e-mail. Please take your time to check the site out and PLEASE give comments, good or bad so we know how the site appeals to you and that possible improvements can be considered if necessary. Enjoy and keep a look out for updated pictures!! Now you can take your pants off mom!
