Well, I did it. Or I’m in the process of doing it anyway. Bass ackwards, too, but that’s the way I roll sometimes. I’ve turned off the comments here, but you can still find the recent stuff at my new digs on blogger.
I’ll eventually point the domain there, but for now I’ll leave things the way they are, while I figure out what I’m going to do about things like image hosting. You can comment there or use the new contact form to send me a message. I’d love to know what you think as it’s all very much a work in progress (do you like this one better?)!
I hate to inconvenience all of my sevens of readers with these changes, but in the chaos that is this summer, I’m afraid this is the only way I’m going to be able to get this done. The archives will follow at some point…

I’m about to make a huge mess of things around here.
I’ve been considering moving from wordpress (which is wonderful, but requires regular attention from me) to google’s blogger (which is getting better by the day) for a while and don’t have all the issues worked out yet, but the Crazy Eddie in me says to damn the torpedoes and go ahead and make the leap. Soon. The server where I’m currently hosting the blog is annoying me lately with some lag and general slowness. And it’s getting hot out, so an indoor project might be a good thing.
So, if you’re reading this with an rss feed, you might need to update some time soon — just keep an eye out. And let me apologize ahead of time for the chaos — links will be broken and images missing and formatting may be on the wonky side for a while. But I’ll get it all fixed up again asap…

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m bringing you a repeat this week — same great blue heron as last Friday, only this time zoomed in a bit, with a bit of sun on his/her beak. I just can’t get enough of these birds!
I hope everyone has great weekend plans! Mine are to lay low and enjoy a rare quiet few days — maybe do a bit of cooking, some puttering around the house, playing in the dirt outside… I dunno (I will check out the Friday ark at some point, though!)… Have a good one!

Wow! For such a short week, that sure was a long week! TGIF, everyone! To celebrate, here is a truly magnificent great blue heron. I love these very regal and brave birds, who will let a person with a camera creep surprisingly close!
Have a wonderful weekend! The ark is up!

Here’s how it sizes up compared to the city of Chattanooga (and its environs):
You can move it around to other global points (here it is around Hawaii, and here’s the slick centered on BP’s London headquarters) at In Perspective: Visualizing the BP Oil Disaster.
UPDATE: How sad is the fact that it’s growing and can’t be stopped?

I want to return to the blissful ignorance I enjoyed while I was frolicking in Europe earlier this month — on my feet and on the go all day long, enjoying great art, breathtaking landscapes and inspired architecture. And in the evening, kicking back with some refreshing local beers, and some lovely food and wine. No newspapers, no TV, no internet. Forgetting for a while that this world is run by greedy, idiotic bastards who are dragging all of us down with them into their pitiful, toxic stew of incompetence.
I’m starting to think the only way to fight back is to opt out. How can I sit here and insist that there should be no more drilling when I just filled my car up with gas a few days ago? How can I bitch and moan about the toxic sludge spilled at Harriman, TN — or the coal mined by blasting off the tops of mountains — when I suck power off of TVA’s grid? If I don’t stop giving them my money, what incentive do they have to change? Clearly, they need more motivation than they’ve gotten over the past thirty years.
I wish I knew how to stop it.

Happy Friday, everyone! I can’t believe it’s the end of May and I’m still rolling out creature pics captured in January. I happened to catch this wood stork during a snack. You’ll find lots of other creatures over on the the modulator’s ark!
Have a great weekend!
