I always have to remind myself to take the camera too. I don't know how many times I've missed a great shot because I had thought, "Oh it's just the same old same old out there." Someday I'll learn.

It really is. I know that little trail pretty well and it still throws out surprises fairly regularly. Thanks. It really is.

It just took me a few months to find the right plugin :) I'm looking forward to LOST as well. I guess I need to get around to reading that O'Connor book Jacob was reading in the finale so I can get my post up about it. Yes, I added that at your suggestion.

We had a pretty wet spring and summer, but we've suddenly dried up, too. Just the time of year, I guess. Enjoyed your walkabout. I <i>especially</i> like that log photo - it's very beautiful. Only a few more months until LOST starts back up! (I see that you added the "notify me of follow-up comments" functionality - awesome!) Sorry to hear about the drought conditions, James.
