From here:

it’s rainy and 50, then snowy and 32, and then perhaps finally sunny, but only 28. Too bad we’re not allowed to mix and match…

And a high wind warning. So, over the next few days, the temp will be between 50 and below freezing. We’ll have rain and snow, wind and sun. In some combinations.

And the replacement battery for my UPS is out for delivery with UPS. Its a race…

Update: and it’s UPS by a nose, delivering the batteries 2 minutes before a power outage, which this time only lasted about 30 minutes. We’re back, and batteries are charging now. I doubt that we’ll get anywhere near a full charge before the next outage.

Dropped @ 12:20 am ish, We’re on the other side at a coffee shop.

Yay. Again.

Update – And back up at 7:10 pm. 19 hours down, and the month is only 140 hours old. Need to get cracking to get that one nine of reliability back.

Inspired by Ted Leung, I’ve gone through the year and grabbed one (or a couple twos) from each month that stand out.

I’ve loved this shot ever since I stumbled upon it last January. It seems very dynamic for a sleeping cat, and what would a year be without a cat picture to start it off.

February brought Northern Voice/MooseCamp/Photocamp and this shot from the 30 somethingth floor of the hotel.

March was a trip to the UK, and many family holiday snaps. This was on the ferry from Belfast to Scotland.

April was the beginning of berry season at the house, and I got some new closeup filters for taking really closeup pictures of them.

May was Mindcamp 2.0.

June was, as all junes are really, the time for the Fremont Solstice Parade.

Also in June, I took one of my favorite pictures of the boy ever.

July was a trip out to Iowa for my family. Many portraits of family, and hot air balloons.

And another one of those ‘too cute to pass up’ pictures of the boy, this one at the county fair.

August we went to the coffee shop, and Ben started drinking steamed milk.

September, the boy is getting more independent. We’ve picked blackberries, apples, huckleberries. It’s a sweet world in September.

October was a visit from Rose’s parents, a transplantation of this site, and yet one more cute picture of the boy, one of the few using an on camera flash.

November was another Mindcamp, the beginning of my Strobist flash lighting journey, but really we remember it as the beginning of the nasty weather and power outages.

December was a visit from my parents for christmas and the ever increasing belly. Photographically, it’s where I really started using off camera lighting.

It’s windy out and the power’s flickering.

Yay.

It’s not out yet, but the UPS running the internets isn’t doing as well anymore.

Update — We didn’t lose power despite the flickreing and the downed tree branches in the lane. The UPS’s batteries are gone now, so there are new ones on the way.
