Rail Passes
Eurrail passes arrived in the mail! We’re counting down the weeks at this point.
We did some fine tuning on the itinerary over the weekend. Looked online at our flight reservations and discovered our flght time from Granada to Barcelona had changed. Not a big deal, we’ll just have to get to the airport a few hours earlier than previously anticipated.
Cynthia and I have each done a test packing. It’s a challenge getting everything you need into a backpack but we are managing. We have learned that travelling light is the only way to go.
As Cynthia likes to say, there’s probably not too many women her age willing to travel with me across Europe with only a backpack full of supplies. I’m sure that’s true, but I have to remind her that backpacks were HER idea!
Hummers!
A Ruby-throated Hummingbird has taken up station in the back yard and is fiercely guarding the lone feeder in the garden.
Even got a few shots of him flashing his ruby throat!

Vader Sessions
A video mash-up of nerdly proportions…
Torn by good and evil and an incestuous love affair, a lonely and depraved Darth Vader has a nervous breakdown, and starts talking about baseball.
Laugh of the day
Cynthia sent a copy of the picture I posted yesterday to the her Help Desk . She received a reply back saying that it might be a good idea to have a fire extinguisher in her office…
Lessons Learned
Last night’s photo shoot got me thinking more about portraiture work.
While Thomas Escalante’s antics in front of the camera might have spoiled the shot as a group photo, it demonstrated the fun that can be had when shooting someone as charismatic and animated as he is.
You Have Been Warned!
