A bee on what I believe to be crepe myrtle.
My mom in a bike path tunnel.
This is the only picture I took today of (on the left) my dear friend Jenny and her sweet man, D, and (on the right) their friends visiting from Pennsylvania. We all tried to go to Film on the Rocks, but apparently the Princess Bride is very popular and they sold out. So, we came back to Denver and saw Away We Go at the Mayan instead.
A rabbit outside of the hotel room my mom and I were staying in.
The entire field was filled with them!
My mom and sleeping grandmother. She had a stroke last Thursday and it looks like it was a terminal event. She's on hospice now, so over the weekend my mom and I visited her at her retirement community. She is my only remaining grandparent, aside from her husband of four years.
Amazing sunset at City Park tonight.
Also, Pete won "Best Fixie" at the Bike Denver bicycle parking without even knowing he was entering a contest. It is hard to see, but he has stickers on the bike that say "bicycle" in many many different languages, so, it is actually a pretty sweet fixie.
I took this at the b-day party Tessa and I attended today. Happy birthday Alex!
So, I rode my bike to Elitch Lanes on Friday morning to meet some friends for a little mid-day bowling (I'm so spoiled in summer right now.) And then, of course, just when we finished playing, a torrential downpour began, complete with lightening and frighteningly loud thunder. So, we played another round and waited for the storm to blow over. And it did! But, on the bike ride home, I encountered this. Looks like the bike path flash flooded.
Look what I bought! It's late and the battery is charging, so pictures from this baby will have to wait until tomorrow. :D
The lovely GPS train predictor. It doesn't work most of the time. For instance, while I was standing here it changed from "3 min & 4 min" to "3 min & 11 min" to "5 min & 5 min" to "7 min & 14 min" and so on. Finally one came but was too full for me to get on. Ah...the joys of SF public transportation.
Submerged Rose Stems
A leaf at by dad's house with the evening light of the longest day of the year shining through it. Happy Summer Solstice everybody!
Here is breakfast today. In addition to eggs on English muffins, it includes a salad made from ingredients exclusively from the garden: lettuces, radishes and basil!
This was probably the best pizza I've ever had. My dad made it on his pizza stone, which is actually a kiln shelf.
T's parents bought me a "Humpy" cookie cutter when they were in Alaska a month or so ago. The Humpy, if you didn't know, is the nickname for an Alaskan pink salmon. I made these cookies for T's dad's b-day because he just loves sugar cookies. And fishing.
Ok, so this is the third time I will have posted a picture of this orchid. However, I think this is noteworthy. This newly opened bud is on the very same bloom spike that I have taken pictures of in the past. It is still blooming! Still! That's crazy!
About four months ago (huge estimate) San Francisco started providing its residents with green bins, to sit along side the blue and black ones, in an effort to become the first zero waste city. Our apartment complex, however, did not offer green bins to it's residents...until now! As an incentive for us to start actually composting, they are giving away free counter top compost buckets with biodegradable bags. Here is ours. I'm very excited about this, and you know why?!? Because now we can throw our soiled paper products, including waxed paper such as coffee cups and milk cartons, in something other than the trash! How awesome is that?!
On Sunday, D and I went to Costco and came home with our usual Costco haul, which included (but was not limited to) a six month supply of toilet paper, paper towels (both 100% recycled), toothpaste, tooth brushes, a giant tub of the best artichoke-jalapeño dip you've ever tasted, and a lifetime supply of energy efficient light bulbs. Our house is now 99% energy efficient when it comes to light bulbs (we have these weird "candle" lights in the chandelier above the table, and I don't think those are yet available in energy efficient bulbs). 
And yet another kitty picture, and the only picture I took today. This is a sweet little kitty who sometimes looks out the window at me as I pass by on my way home from work.
Jon Jon cuddle. A little blurry, but this was the only picture I took today.
I have been very bad about posting pictures lately. I have been completely absorbed in my job (which is currently very rough and challenging) and not taking care of myself or finding time to do things I love, which honestly has made me a little miserable. I have been taking pictures though, almost every day, so they are now posted.
The few flowers from my mom's birthday bouquet in the thin light of the morning. They are still going strong over three weeks later.
An old burnt out tree trunk at the top of Bunsen Peak that Trey and I hiked up. I just loved the patterns inside the bark.
Looking down on some of the "paint pots." Thermophilic bacteria make the different levels of heat in the geysers different colors.
