This is why I always try to have my camera handy...
You never know what you'll see- like this sweet art work slapped to the side of a building on Minna St.
Uptown Almanac used it in a post! Thanks, UA!
I'm kinda fascinated with pigs.

11 views in 2 days...
Why?
I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate the attention to my humble flickr account.
But, why 11 views on this photo and, like, zero on others uploaded the same time?
(and that's not rhetorical, folks. Please feel free to weigh in!)

Cheeky the Snowman: A "Tail" of Transformation
I may be treading on Donna's territory here- but I'd like to tell you a crafty, heartwarming tale of holiday how-to redemption.
Once upon a time, there was a snowman paper towel dispenser named Cheeky.
Cheeky was a jolly, happy soul with a big ass whose only function in life was to dispense paper towels. Or so he thought.
A nice lady gave Cheeky to her son and his wife for a pre-Christmas gift to brighten their home. But, the couple already HAD a paper towel dispenser. And they had very little counter space for two dispensers. Their apartment wasn't very big, after all. In fact- they didn't even have room for a Christmas tree!
(also, the son was a cheap-ass penny-pincher and didn't want to kill a tree just to haul it to the sidewalk a few weeks later. Oh, sure- they tried getting one of those potted "living trees" last year. But, that ended up dying because their apartment didn't get enough sunlight. Also, the son forgot to water it. But, that's another story. Which... you pretty much have the gist of anyway...)
And that's when they had an idea!
"Cheeky, with your butt so big- would you like a Christmas tree gig?!"
So, the son bought a plastic garland at a magical place called "Walgreens"...
... and he wound it round & round the dowel Cheeky stood faithfully next to. A few shots of bourbon later...
Then, the couple decorated their "tree" with ornaments and some cool battery-operated lights (also purchased at Walgreens) and soon...
Cheeky was very happy. And the couple was happy, too. And yes, the petroleum by-products used to make the fake garland probably do more damage to the environment than cutting down a tree- but you really shouldn't be so cynical during the holidays. Geeez!
The end...
Have yourself a callipygous Christmas, everybody!

Voyage 'Round My Parents' Backyard
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
I was visiting the folks for the holiday. My parents' have a nice house with an amazing backyard. They've both worked very hard to create a mini paradise out there. It's one of the most relaxing places I've ever known. And a great place to photograph suburban flora & fauna!
Below are some photos I've taken out there over the last 2 years.
Please click the pic for a better view.
Thanks, Mom & Dad!
