This is not a photography post, so it doesn't get it's own title. Kathryn and I love Phineas and Ferb. It is our favorite show to watch together. Here are a couple reasons why.

There's a Platypus Controlling Me!

The platypus is a metaphor for whatever is holding you down. MY TEACHER IS A PLATYPUS!

    The government might be better if it was a platypus.

    This show both horrifies me and entertains me. Like a kids SAW V.

CPAC Soccer Game

I was finally able to attend a soccer game and watch Kathryn play. It was so much fun to watch Kathryn and the other girls play so aggressively. They have completely dominated the first two games, outscoring their opponents 9-1. I was surprised on how big the pitch was. Those girls were running! Kathryn is playing on a U-11 team. About half the girls are playing up from younger age groups because our club is brand new and just starting out. Watching the younger girls play tough on (sometimes much) bigger girls was inspiring.  The team's coach, Ian Hill, is really quite different from other youth sports coaches. He coaches with Love. Sounds corny, right? It's not touchy-feely namby-pamby stuff. He is teaching the girls accountability to your teammates, coaches, and parents because you love them. He makes them run at practice until its uncomfortable (maybe even some tears) because he wants them to know what it feels like in a game to keep going when you think you can't run

Choosing where to live.

Not knowing where we will be next year is starting to take its toll. On me, on my family, probably on my performance at work.  I obsess about it. "Where do we want to live?" I have my list. My goal is to find a community that maximizes the number of things on that list. Polly has a list, but it is much shorter, or contains secret elements that I don't know. Her list, as far as I can tell is: 1. Access to grandbabies. 2. Church members in adequate numbers that we don't practice our faith on an island, or in a fishbowl. That is a short list. My list is more complicated. It has lots of items, and the those items change in relative importance as the seasons of the year, and my life, change. I like the outdoors- that has always been and will always be true. I find that I get depressed fairly quickly if my senses are deprived of the outdoors. The sound of the wind through the trees, the smell of woodsmoke and pine, the simultaneous sensation of a warm sun on my bac

Had to try out the new Canon 300mm F4/L lens and found some sheep ready to oblige just a short way out of town. Buck Toothed Ram Following the herd Big Ram Strikes a Pose Average distance was about 50 to 150 yards away. Handheld at ISO 200 with the image stabilizer on and manual focus. Not bad for a rookie long lens jockey. Camera set to Aperture Priority F4 and the shutter speeds averaged about 1/60th second (1/80-1/50)
