It was a gorgeous day here in Florida yesterday, but I’m not going to taunt all you folks still stuck in the winter with my warm-weather shots of shore birds. Yet.
Instead, here’s a series from a cold Ohio day back in December, of a goose coming in for a landing. Have a great weekend, everyone. As always, give a shout to the kids on the Ark!
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who recently graduated from college and moved out on her own (keep your eyes open and you might spot her at some point, twirling joyously right before she tosses her hat in the air).
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist (yes!! bring on gay marriage, give us a single-payer, completely socialized health care system, and replace the stupid war on drugs with legal, regulated, uber-taxed marijuana -- and some very handy industrial hemp!).

Wow! How’d you convince the bird to fly right at the camera like that?
he should have used a little more rudder…
if you’re in the St. Auggie area stop by for a coffee/lunch/dinner.
Keera, I’d like to think that he was accommodating me, but he seemed to be meeting up with a whole gaggle of friends.
Fletch, I’m on the wrong side of the state! You know you’d be on my speed dial if I was within shouting distance…
