Okay, I’ve mainly been blogging on the other blog. So, if you know it go there, if you don’t then leave a note and I’ll sent it to you. I’m still planning on blogging here, but time usually allows for one or the other.
I’ve been seriously working on trying to get the photography thing up and running. I’ve upgraded from a Canon 20D to a Canon 50D, and I’ve also upgraded my work computer to the 24″ iMac. The new computer makes the working on photos so much more enjoyable and it’s way faster. I’ve also order a 580exII flash (it was on super sale), and playing with new processing software. I’ve also started to redesign my photography website, Kahuku Photography, but you won’t see the change for a bit. I have set up an etsy site for selling prints, and now I’m in the process of picking out some images to order prints of and offer for sale. Slowly coming along…

I’ve been having a lovely time picking up affordable ($1.50) flower bouquets from the Satsop Bulb Farm this Spring. Next, weekend is the last week for me to get their fresh cut flowers that have been brightening up my work space. The daffodils that I’ve been getting have a lovely scent that is like a hyacinth crossed with a plumeria. They are intoxicating… I miss the smell of plumeria. *sigh*

It’s flower time at the bulb farm. I’ve been visiting weekly to get my fix of affordable bouquets. I think I only have one more week of flowers from there, but shortly there will be more flowers at the farmer’s market.
Sleep doesn’t come easily to me. I have to be exhausted before I can fall a sleep. I usually have to read or a movie, otherwise it takes forever to get my mind to stop. Last night was nothing new, but for some reason my dreams kept waking me up. They weren’t pretty dreams, they were the kind you wake up crying and shouting to.
Anyway…

Are you one of those people who get irked by the poor driving of others? Then, I have a website for you. Zapatag allows you to post information about bad drivers using their license plate. No longer do you have to hold in your breath, post your experience, and warn other drivers about those crazy people. You can also track and search for specific license plates.
Now, I’m not the type of person who gets upset by bad driving of others. I typically work my way around them or ignore anything that happens, as long as I don’t get hit. At first, I wasn’t sure how I would want to use Zapatag. I really don’t want to point the negatives of other drivers. This doesn’t mean that I don’t see the need to point out bad drivers. I have decided that I will use Zapatag to point out the good drivers I run across. Why should the bad drivers be the only ones to get attention. I will start posting those good experiences I have on the road. You know those people who really Drive with Aloha!
Visit Zapatag, and share your driving adventures.

Sorry, more of an information for me to remember post.
Weekend full of adventure in Olympia, Tacoma, & Seattle. Then, today we went to the Grays Harbor Rock & Gem Show and Ocean Shores. Here’s a Senetti Pericallis for you.

Clenched teeth and pulsating neurons,
sunrise of a restless sleep.
My subconscious a playground of darkness.

Pickle was more interested in the new solar light I was using for lighting than the fish. I was finally able to coax her to lay down, but of course she wouldn’t look at me.

I met Diane while she was spinning at the Olympia Farmers Market. She had to concentrate on her work, and wasn’t able to chat too much. I simply asked if I could take her picture, and she agreed.
So, far I’ve had better experiences if I simply ask if I can take a photo. Then, having the100 Strangers project as back up if I’m denied or asked why I would want to take a photo. I’m very thankful I haven’t been turned down yet. I’m sure if will come in time.
