UPDATE: Oh yeah, my blog. . .

I’ve been focusing more on photography again and neglecting my blog. I’ve been chasing after wildlife, and trying to get my gigs of photos at home sorted, tagged and uploaded to

Notes to Marquis. . .

O.K., I know you’ve seen him over there in the blogroll, but if you haven’t gone to his site, this is a friendly push to do so. He’s been doing some really cool Macro Photography at home lately. He tells me he’s employing a food dehydrator to get some of these specimens to their current [...]

Star Trails

Not exactly what I had been planning for an image, but it came out o.k. Note the green line from one of the Astrological Society’s members pointing out a star to someone.

Suck

It just started icing to boot. It’s really going to suck getting home.

Belated. . .

I’d make a horrible Dad. I know it. Know why? Got any clues? Well, in 2006 on 10-25 at 9:57 P.M. I posted my first article here on Brickblog. Why, I remember when this blog was still in diapers, I was excited to get 1 visit after posting oh so many articles. To date, I’m [...]

Double feature

As I mentioned earlier today, I found a plethora of wildlife today. I can add to that list, a Red Tail Hawk as well. I got a chance to get a few more photos up so you folks at home can see them.
