Thanks, guys. 
I'm LOVING the new job.
I've posted a few over the years, and paintings too.
I've often thought of it, and even have the idea for a story. The traditional novel came out first, though.I'd love to see tsq try her hand at writing a graphic novel or some such thing. I think she could do rather well at it!

*fans self* I do declare! This flowah is wiltin'!
A slightly belated congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Flux! I love your cake.
TSQ, congratulations on your new job, and your drawing is awesome. I'm always envious of people who can draw. I can't do proportional stick people.
After and exceptionally dry winter we've had the wettest April since 1910. This was the River Exe, on the outskirts of the city of Exeter in southwest England, this afternoon.
At first glance it may not look that bad, but do you see the concrete ledge on either side of the river? Below those ledges are 3 or 4 deep steps and, below that, a pedestrian and cycle path which is hardly ever flooded. In the 6 years we've lived here I've never seen the river so high. The surrounding area is safe from flooding, though. After the last bad flood in 1960 those embankments you can see were made, and the river's never yet come close to the top of them. Just to the left of the photo is a pub which has been there for generations. It was badly flooded in 1960, and by the bar is a wonderful photo of an elderly lady crossing the flooded street on a wooden plank to get to the door of the pub. No gushing torrent was going to stand between her and her G&T!

A sunset off the Victoria Breakwater, that was posted on a Facebook page for Victoria BC.
Sometimes makes me remember what a nice part of the world I live in.

Great! Hope to see it someday.
Eh? You've written such a novel? And why have we (or at least I) not heard of this? Please elaborate.

Hey, thanks for posting! I haven't had the chance to go and look at the river, but everyone's saying it's the highest they've ever seen (apart from the old timers who remember the flood!)
We had flooding like that here in Omaha last year. Unfortunately I have no pictures of it but it was brutal.
A few new photos from the wedding!
Our suspended baseball centerpieces.
Ready for our movie poster.
A couple favorites of myself.
For our recessional, we walked down lip syncing to Michael Buble's "Feeling Good"
Some great ones from the ceremony
Getting laced up
Arriving at the venue. I just love how happy everyone looks in this one.

Those are some of the nicest wedding photos I've seen in years, Flux. Thanks again for sharing 'em!
Here's a recent photo of me, taken on a talus slope in Gaspe.
geology student?
Love seeing wedding pics. This one is soooo beautiful!
We got this Lilac bush/tree as a present from my wife's brother and sister-in-law for the birth of our second son, Aaron. I immediately planted it in out backyard. I wasn't sure if it was going to survive, didn't look like it was growing and never bloomed in its first year. Now with Aaron almost to his second birthday it has bloomed. Aaron's birthday is May 6th, so it will be nice to have it bloom for his birthday.
Thankfully we didn't get the rain today that had been predicted, and when I drove over the Exe Bridges this evening the top two steps were exposed, so the river has dropped slightly. It's still moving at an angry pace, though.
I'm assuming you live on the other side of the city from me, as I have to cross the river to get into town and therefore see it almost daily.
I do, but work in town, though. I wandered down to the river in my lunch hour to see the swans swimming up the paths on the Quay!
The lilac is gorgeous. I took the train to Philly last Friday for a math conference, and have never seen so much lilac in my life. It was stunning; purple trees everywhere. Sometimes I wish I had a garden. At the moment I make do with a window sill.
