I love the GorillaPod.  I have a large one for slr-zoom but I also have a small one for the point-n-shoot that I take w/ me everywhere.  That, plus macro, plus white-balance, plus a 3-second self timer (because the small gorillapod tends to quiver a bit), and I’ve been getting some fun shots up close in darker places.

Check out this Sea Of Pumpkins…

Here are ALL the flickr photos I’ve ever Marked As Favorite… (got hours?)

Just LOOK at this HUMMINGBIRD… (be sure to click on “All Sizes” above the photo to zoom in)…

The water reflecting on this ship looks like fire…

the title of this photo is “she did it!”
and I WANT to comment, but won’t:
“well of course she did it, what, did you think she was going to keep her knees together and keep that fetus inside of her for 40 years?”
… but I wont.  LOL

A stitch of two photos):

Today I met w/ a lady from the Unitarian Church again. She’s really nice. Down here in Florida you have to get along with all ages or you’ll find yourself alone. Some 73 year olds are really with it! This lady has a camera even more complex than mine and she’s doing really well with it. My mom is 73 and uses a Palm Pilot, a computer, downloads music (rock n roll no less!), emails, surfs, you name it.

Went to Olive Garden tonight. M and I always make fun of it but they have this dish that is to DIE for, the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo Pasta which has steak in it which is as tender as freakin’ filet mignon and has this FLAVOR that I just can’t place. It’s so good (and so fattening).

I’m keeping up w/ the news and talking about it alot w/ _M_, but by the time I get around to blogging it’s old news, and I hate being one of those bloggers that talks about yesterday’s news.

I’m searching for a Subaru Outback wagon. I love that car, I always have. That and the Eclipse are my favorite car. If I replace my eclipse w/ an Outback, I’ll eventually get a used Eclipse since I really love the older body style better than the newer body style anyway [although the newEST body style is awesome!]. That, or M might get a used MR2. But either way we’ll keep the Z cuz that’s like, the ultimate.

Anyway, the Outback I want new is like $30k. But I’d be ok w/ like a 2 year old one, but we found a couple new ones at a discount cuz they were probably Dealer Demos or something. Those are the best if you can find them (my family is in the car business, too bad they don’t sell Mitsus or Subarus).

Why an Outback? I hate sport utes and I want 4 wheel drive and the ability to put people in the back seat. Sometimes we drive my mom around and M’s Z has no back seat and my back seat is a death trap. Your head is about touching the glass and metal above. I knew a girl in high school who was asleep in the back of a jeep and the jeep hit a bump or something. She got slammed against the roll bar above her head and she died. That’s nuts!!! So when I got in my back seat recently, I realized it’s REALLY tight. So sometimes we drive my mom around, but ALSO… duhhhh du dun dun duuuuunnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

See, when they come down, which is usually about 4x a year, they have to drive because we effectively have no back seats. So they drive the rental and they can’t work all the buttons and usually the windows are LOCKED and the FART in the car with the WINDOWS SHUT. Also, the dad in law falls asleep at the wheel, crosses the line into oncoming traffic and slams on his brakes at green lights… EVERY VISIT.

So, I’ve wanted a car that’ll handle passengers for a long time. I hate sport utes and gas guzzlers. The small sport utes are cute but they’re a dime a f*cking dozen. If I see one more of these I’m going to freaking scream! I don’t want to be a sheep. The 4wd wagon is 4wd, takes passengers (moms and inlaws), telescopes, photography equipment, the dogs, won’t get stuck in the sand when geocaching, etc.

Idunno, it’s late, I’m babbling.

Ok, since beginning this post, I’ve finished my Portfolio of best photos: ..::PHOTOS::..

I can usually see the shuttle launch from where I am…
[[My pix of the shuttle taken from here.]]
It’s about a 211 mile drive from here.

But today I could not see it. It was too cloudy/hazy. That’s too bad, I would have liked to get some pictures.

I saw this on sinceretheory.net,

Using Picasa to send photos to your flickr account, and when they arrive they have TAGS, a TITLE, and a DESCRIPTION.

I tried it and it works great!
