City Moose

.

Here are a few photos I took of cow moose in the vacant lot between the Homewood Suites Hotel and the Motel 6 in Anchorage. It's much easier to take photos of moose in the city than it is in the country. She had an audience and couldn't care less.

Stormy

.

It's stormy and windy and snowy outside but it is warm and cozy inside. I had a nice day at the last Christmas Bazaar. Sold some prints and had a good time with good people. I had to get a new cell phone today. My Blackberry was beginning to freeze up all the time for some reason. I got a new Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and the learning curve is steep. I struggled for a long time trying to figure out the calendar. I hope I grow to like that dang phone because right now it is not my friend.

I'm Still Here

...

Nope, I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth, but hoo boy has it been busy. I just got back from traveling and today I started a new job. So I haven't forgotten you all. Hopefully I will have a chance to post some new stuff soon. Until then you can always go back and re-read some of the old stuff.
