book meme, pt 2.

well, lordgloria whined I had boring books. Well, I took the meme to mean 'do this when you see it', which was when I was at work (bad, bad, bad). So here you go, closest book at home:

"We are buying the eggs?" he said.

"Why - " Laurence was surprised; he had not before realized Temeraire did not understand the eggs were to be acquired for money. "We are, yes, but you see yourself that your acquaintances do not object to giving over their egg," he said, glancing anxiously at the Kazilik pair, who indeed seemed unconcerned at being parted from their offspring.

Seattle trip pics - finally!

A month past the event, and I finally get around to editing photos.. shame on me!

Rainforest Fairies! Kimi and her partner in crime Pooka :) The entire reason (besides being portable) that Kimi got to go - I had this super cool fairy costume done by my friends, and where else to show it off? I think I took over 300 pictures in the rainforest alone!


( More! )

Seattle, Rainforest and Victoria trip

And yet more pics. I carried about two camera's as per my usual - my digital which I was using mostly for doll shots as well as flowers and etc (useful macro!) and my film camera, which I think takes utterly clear, wonderful landscapes. I have a real steady hand when taking pictures, but even so, often the digital blurs - and you can't tell with the tiny screen, because it's only a tiny bit fuzzy. Hugely fuzzy ones you can see and delete :( It's got too slow a shutter speed. I've been getting a cd of my film pics when I have them developed for easy uploading.

Ruby beach. I just love the beaches up in WA - Green, lots of trees, sea stacks and driftwood bigger than you all over!
