Pictures from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2008! I again had an All Access pass. The pictures start with the balloon inflation the night before.

I hope I did this right. They're on Flickr but only visible to "Friends and Family"; the above link is supposed to be a "guest pass" thing.

Let me know if you can't see them.

Got home a bit late last night thanks to heavy fog at Hartsfield. Now I'm going thru nearly 1000 pictures of the Macy's Parade. Like last year, I shot the whole thing with a wide angle lens, but I think I spent too much time hanging around Herald Square, so this year I stayed up at Columbus Circle for an hour before spending most of the rest of the ( Read more... )

Just went to PB&J's for Halloween last night. The boys were Superman and Batman. While they both came home with quite a stash, there just didn't seem to be very many kids out there making the rounds. Weird. Lots of kids in the neighborhood, and it was a Friday night ( Read more... )

My calves are going to hurt in the morning. Like I did for the EAV Strut, I walked to the L5P Halloween parade/festival. The difference is that L5P is twice as far. So I was walking/on my feet for 3.5 hours this time ( Read more... )

Saturday was a busy day. In the early afternoon, I drove all the hell way out to Stone Mountain Park for a little LJ get together, mostly folks lemon_says knows. Since they all had small kids, the idea was to meet at the big-ass playground they have on the opposite side of the mountain. But the road was closed ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the party for my godson's third birthday (which was actually Friday - my dad's birthday was yesterday), so I went over to PB&J's place and girded myself for dealing with a couple of dozen toddlers. And a Moon Bounce ( Read more... )

Pictures from the East Atlanta Strut are over here.

I walked there. I walked around. I took some pictures. I pushed someone around in a wheelchair. I walked around some more. I ate a corndog. I walked home.

My calves still hurt.

I didn't take very many pictures in Austin, and most of those I took were of jrosehale's baby, Stuart. Of course. Stuart had just started sitting up when I got there, and he spent much of the weekend practicing. He got pretty good at it, even starting to try to pull himself up. This past weekend he started crawling.

My pictures are here.
J Ro's are here. I ( Read more... )

I'm a sucker for the Olympics anyway, but this year is especially cool because, for the first time since 1996, I've actually been to the Olympic city.

They're running the women's marathon right now. It started at Tiananmen Square, looped around along the Great Hall of the People, and stretched down to the Temple of Heaven. I wandered all through ( Read more... )

Okay, I've finally -- finally -- finished going through and editing my pictures from the Prague trip back in September.

Here are 425 of them straight from the camera. (I've posted this link before.)

Here are 30 of them edited.There were a handful more that I liked but couldn't figure out what to do with them, and a few more that turned out weren' ( Read more... )
