Photo Gallery Update 2

It was nice to finally have a weekend to relax and catch up on things with no major projects underway. I completed my photo gallery updates, brining us up to date thru the new year. Now that I’ve finished moving all my pictures into my new computer, the process for these has become more streamlined, so hopefully I’ll be doing updates more often than once a year going forward. As usual they are password protected so contact me if you are friends and family.

A Trip To The Aquarium

Last week the kids had a four-day weekend, so I took a day off from work to take the girls on a special outing. We went to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT. They had a bunch of cool stuff there including seals, sharks, sea turtles, lionfish, flounder, crabs, jellyfish, and an octopus. Also some cool models of sailing ships, and a whole room full of frogs and amphibians, including a tank of rare axolotls. (My friend Seth once had these cool creatures as pets.)

Lizzy took a ton of pictures and I made them into a gallery. Also the girls are guest bloggers tonight, telling about it in their own words.

Hello my name is Elizabeth. Or you can call me Lizzy. I also like Liz. Or Eliz. I love chipmunks. CHIPMUNKS! I know they don’t even swim. But I love them… Right fish hahaha bing bam bang buuuuurp. Excuse me. The seals were SOOOOO cute. The turtles with human heads were also pretty cool. We got to touch horseshoe crabs, stingrays and starfish. The sharks were amazing. Michelle loved them. They have new African penguins that were SOOOOO cute. There was a giant sea turtle there. It was HUUUUUUGE!!! I told Chippy all about it. Thank you Daddy for taking a day to take us to the aquarium. I know how busy you are. : – )

Hello my name is Michelle. I hate the sharks. I love the African Penguins. The Jellyfish didn’t sting me. Did you know that I watched the seals and I’ve seen what they eat? It’s fish.

Photo Galleries Update

One of things I like to do in the wintertime is update my photo galleries. This year it’s taken a bit longer than usual because of moving into my new computer. Here are three Family and Friends Foto galleries, going back all the way to last spring and bringing us up to date thru the first half of the summer. As usual they are password protected, so if you are friends and family and need the password, please contact me.

View Out the Window

Of all the buildings in New York City the one I work in seems to most resemble Orthanc, the tower of Saruman. Sometimes I even wonder if we keep Wizards on the roof. I’ve worked in a number of different offices on different floors with different views, and find the endless changes in seasons, weather and lighting fascinating. A year ago I moved from the west side of the building to the east, and the view changed from looking down over Hell’s Kitchen across the Hudson and New Jersey all the way to the Poconos, to looking down onto Times Square with the occasional glimpse of Brooklyn and Queens beyond. I put up a gallery of these two views Now I’ve moved again, to the south side where the view is basically the building next door.

Beach Pics

As promised, wild horses and giant horseshoe crabs!

Fotoz!

Before we get too far into summer I thought I’d take a moment to update my online photo galleries with pictures from last fall, winter and spring. My how the time flies. I have three new galleries. The first is a general one, covering birthdays and xmastime and various house projects and a selection of photos that Lizzy took of things that interest her. Then there’s one from our trip to the Caribbean last winter (Aaah!) and to Mohonk last spring (thanks Martin for supplying most of these). These are friends and family galleries, so the site is password protected. Please contact me if you want the password. But, people in the wider world, an update to the pubic galleries is in the offing, including all kinds of new origami (are you surprised?) and a study of the New York City skyline.

Fotoz 2007 Summer III

Well, it’s still January. The season of darkness and cold, fated by the alignment of cosmic entities. But at least I’ve been taking advantage of time spent inside to move into my new Mac and get my photo publishing software up and running. So here are two more galleries from last summer.

Origami Site Update, Part 2: New Butterfly Pics

After the recent update to my Origami Site I realized I didn’t have any good pictures of my butterfly. The ones I had were either black or white, but a model like that wants some color!. So here’s a collection of new butterfly pics, all nice and colorful and hopefully somewhat artfully arranged.
