Favorite Photo Day

DSC_1940.jpg

I've been meaning to do this for a while but I've just been too lazy to do it. I was flicking through my flickr and I was enjoying some photos that I hadn't looked at in a long time and I thought to myself, "It would be cool to post my favorite photos, like one every once in a while (but more than once), maybe even write a small description and see what people think." Or don't think, for that matter. So what do you think Blogland? Are you in on looking at my photos without leaving the comfort of my blog? Maybe you could share your favorite photo that you've taken? Or maybe that's taking it too far? Maybe even the description is too much too. What the heckers, I'll figure it out as I go along and if you're willing to play along then I am. Anyways, this photo is only a week old but I thought I would post it anyway.

ABOUT THIS PHOTO: SF had a heatwave last weekend and we decided to do a very touristy thing: hike Twin Peaks. Well, we didn't hike the entire hill. We took the bus as far as it would take us and then we hiked up the last little bit. It was a bit hazy but I had my polarizing filter. One thing I love to do when I'm in a touristy area is take photos of people taking photos of other people. And I normally try to do it as stealthily as possible, sometimes not even looking through the viewfinder. I love this composition of the two woman next to the radio tower with the cloudless sky behind them.

Dear Dr. Glenna

Dear Dr. Glenna -

I was so excited to receive your Viper Pilots pattern that I couldn't wait to cast on. Unfortunately after heavy deliberation I realized none of my sock yarn would do your amazinglyawesomesuperkewl pattern the justice it deserves. And I just can't half-ass it. Currently I'm digging in the couch cushions for change to save up for some Smooshy. I plan to go to my LYS on May 1st with my bag o' change and lint to be a proud owner YTWDYPP (Yarn That Will Do Your Pattern Proud). I just wanted to get it out in the open so you don't think I'm being unreasonable. Sadly I'm just being "on a budget."

Thinking of your sock pattern daily,
I'm Not Bad...
