A middle-aged dude doing tequila shooters isn’t the only thing we’ve photographed with our new telephoto lens. No-sir-ee … we’ve also photographed flowers. Try to contain your excitement.

    Well, in your defense that is a fairly decent picture of a flower (is that a Peony?).

    Gorgeous shot. Is that a peony? I miss peonies, lilacs, and hydrangeas… they just can’t grow in the desert. Thanks for the burst of color.

    What, now I have to know what kind of flower it is? Photographing it wasn’t enough?

    Actually, my wife photographed it. Maybe she knows what kind it is. Perhaps she’ll chime in.

    That’s one gorgeous peony! I learned the hard way a long time ago that ants march around in peonys to get them to open…lots of ants.

Better-than-average afternoon. Got to attend sound Better-than-average afternoon. Got to attend soundcheck at @mammothwvh. I remember bracing myself for disappointment when I was about to first hear the work of Edward’s son; didn’t wanna get my hopes up … so imagine my elation when it turned out that his music gave, and gives, me the same chills that his Dad’s did.

Psyched for tonight’s performance.
