And today I come bearing photographic evidence of the unexpected urban ungulates:
Behold!
The zoomed-in pictures kind of suck because I had to use my digital zoom which means the image quality suffers. But. Goats!
I created a set and called it Goatography. I hope to get some better shots another day.

1. Do not put on red lipstick, don a balaclava, and ride your bicycle to work. You will end up with lipstick from mid-nose to mid-neck. This has been a public service announcement.
2. The Federal Courthouse is two blocks away from my workplace, and there is a park between the two [...]

This week has been gorgeous in the weather department. Gorgeous for December anyhow. I’ve ridden on my lunch break or extra after work every day so far, and I plan to do the same tomorrow. Being as it has been basically cold and shitty the previous couple of weeks, I had been racking up a [...]

The Big Purple Kale, before and after a snowstorm (about two weeks between shots)
I’m pretty sure this is the same cluster of roses, before and after snow.
The buckets!
My favorite shot of the frozen-over roses. I love the ice-crystals cupped inside the topmost blossoms. Best viewed large (click for full-size)

But before I get on with the recaps from Sunday, I’d like to draw your attention to a new blog in town - Team Sexypants, authored by none other than Big Grin himself, joEL! His header image is a picture I took of him one of the nights we were camping out during our [...]

I had no big hairy plans today, honestly. Maybe go for a bike ride and take some pictures, weather permitting, probably sit around in front of the fireplace reading and occasionally shoving a cat’s butt off my book. I didn’t expect to actually get anything accomplished.
It all started out with me waking up [...]

Many cyclists of the slightly nerdy variety are very big on wool. I’m of that category and similarly fond of woolen clothing for cold weather. I have an elaborate system of sweaters, tights, and outerwear that I layer on or eliminate as conditions require, and my favorite “insulating layers” for my torso happen [...]

I got my first camera when I was 8 years old (”8 and a half, going on 9″), as a Christmas present. I’d spotted a children’s Kodak in the Sears Wish Book some months earlier, and decided that the little brightly-colored, kid-friendly snapshot camera was my heart’s desire. It was really the only [...]

Well, the time has finally come to let the Burley go. It’s a damn sweet bike, but it’s just not right for me. The fit isn’t quite on, and it just doesn’t really work with the way I ride. So, if you’re short and like an elegant and zippy steel road bike [...]

When I was still kind of getting acquainted with my camera, I tended to shoot at the smallest picture setting, being of the understanding that this was the “web friendly” size. Also, you could get more pictures on the card at a whack, and I had a TINY 16mb card at the time. [...]
