Joel and I picked blackberries in the empty lot by our apartment complex.





not blackberries


Joel figures we would have paid about $15 at the store for these.... It was about 2 pounds of berries.
Hope you have a great night!!

I really had trouble coming up with a subject for the post. I really need to go for a walk and look at nature but I have had some long tiring days at work since I came back from vacation.

Adam threw a small box containing some shipping peanuts at me and told me to photograph them. I accepted the challenge.






Have a good night!!

I am glad I spent all evening catching up with my vacation photos... that was exhausting....

Today it was back to work. Here are some flowers on the back deck:





Joel and I got rings! I guess we needed to fly our nerd flag higher.....


Have a good night!!

I don't know what happened between yesterday's photos and today's, but it appears that my 10mm-22mm lens has a bit of a dust problem.....  it seems to happen when they lens is zoomed out all the way....







Have a great night!!

You know what is crazy about this trip? This:


I think about 75% if the eggs we had on this trip were double yolked (we had about 64 eggs)..... the eggs even came from different stores, in different towns..... I don't recall ever seeing a double yolked egg before.


After some internet research, I found out that " Double-yolked eggs are often laid by young hens, whose hormones are not yet fully 'in tune'. A double-yolked egg results when two ova are released at the same time." (Source) We should have kept better track.... I guess we could have broken a record or something.

Joel and I went to Garibaldi to get gas for the car. It seems the Steam Engine was having a bit of trouble:





  It was a little overcast. This is what we saw around sunset.




There are tons and tons of crazy jumping "bugs" all over the beach. It turns out they are some kind of Amphipods, little shrimp like crustaceans. I don't know what specific kind this guy is but man he was fast!

This is not a sand flea like we thought, sand fleas look totally different!

Hope you have a great night!
