new photos

Hi everybody! Check my Flickr page for new (and old) additions to the mass of photos. On the side are categories to click on. Because of some unfortunate events (namely, D putting his phone in the washing machine) I have a new cell phone, and he downloaded all my pictures so he could use my crappy phone instead. Incidentally, I recommend never ever getting a "Chocolate" phone, which was a triumph in marketing but not design. Anyhow, there were about 80 pictures from all over the country, which are an interesting chronicle of the places we went last year--or the places I went and forgot to take my camera. I especially enjoy one of A and my grandfather, and A at the helm of a fake ship in Baltimore as huge snowflakes fall all around him. The weather was incredible that day.

In other news, I now have four new living creatures to take care of: fan-tailed goldfish. One is a calico named Dottie, and the other three are bright shiny orange ones named Sunshine (a's favorite), Argent, who has a silver scale on its side, and Fanny. Not terribly original names, but they are quite beautiful and peaceful to watch. I hope they will become frequent subjects of paintings in the near future. Pictures to come!
