rpotd: “shutterbug at the pool”

Taken at the South Coast Hotel’s pool, in Las Vegas, NV. I had gone there for a job interview that turned out to be a total dead end. Oh well. My sister-in-law brought her kids and we had a good weekend there anyways.

summer vacation 2007: first breakfast

No, it’s not a Hobbit thing. It’s just the first breakfast we got to go out for on vacation. And, of course, we went to Krispy Kreme, since there are no 1) Krispy Kremes in Kansas and 2) no decent donuts of any kind in Kansas.

rpotd: “in the shadows”

Taken at the old Soka University of America campus in Calabasas. The poor thing seemed to really be struggling in the heat. It didn’t even try to run away as I (quite noisily) ran up behind the bush to take the picture.
