Well, I'm still here. That about sums it up. Idle threats it would seem, my tidings of a shut down, the towel thrown in. So here's one from the nearest playground to our new house. We end up here on many evenings and it's really nice. It's the field of the school where Brynna will begin kindergarten in September and I will be happy to have such a scenic place to leave her everyday.

Lightbone will be throwing in the towel soon. Just can't keep it up and the infrequency of my posts is downright depressing. And it will allow me to put some energy into my smugmug galleries, which have been sorely lacking for attention since the inception of this photoblog. Enjoy my last few posts and thanks for hanging in with me!

Yeah, it was cold, but it was fun, even though we didn't catch anything...

Of our trip to Disneyland a few weeks ago this is one of my favs. Maybe it's the influence of all the cool out of focus toy camera shots I've come across lately...

It's hard to think of this as a blog proper with my posts so infrequent and rarely included info about the day to day ebbs and flow of life in my little corner of the world. But a phlog it is and, as such, I feel compelled to tell you that I actually had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and it was a doosie, landing me right on the ripe, round sum of 50. A milestone to be sure and I must say, it feels way better than 40. In spite of being my best birthday ever however, I am often bothered by having such young children at this age and can't decide whether they are keeping me young or accelerating my decline, what with the dramatic increase in grey hair over the last two years. I have thrice been referred to as the grandfather and Susan makes regular mention of Grecian Formual something-or-other(she's a regular dye-er). In spite of actually considering it a few times though, I'm sticking to my guns for now and embracing my downhill slide toward 'elder'. Hopefully when I get there it will be prefaced by a worthy 'wise'.

Brynna in Pink

I don't know if it's all those Barbie and princess movies or my constant picture taking from the moment she was born but Brynna has sure turned into a poser. At five years old she has all the moves and I can only imagine what she'll have worked up by the time the teens hit...

Boom shaka laka laka, boom shaka lakalaka, da dat daaaa, da dat daaaa, da dat daaa, HEY, HEY, HEY, Feelin's getting stonger.... Only three and a half shopping days left folks, time to get a move on. And in spite of a serious case of the bah-humbuggies and my losing battle for tinsel I must say, our tree looks damn nice. Can't figure though why the holiday spirit brings out the Sly Stone...

Time magazine's person of the year is YOU, as in everyone that participated in the great internet experiment that spawned such phenomenom as You Tube, Wikepedia and Facebook. And how about the Daily Kos, almost singlehandedly reigniting my faith in humanity's ability to discern the truth in the face of the massive dose of bullshit we're fed everyday. Even though it's a relative truth my hat's off to them. Thanks Time. Enough of we and they, here's to US.

Another from this fall, as I'm still in catch up mode. I'm currently reading David Hurn's 'On Being a Photographer' and, although it's a very interesting and highly recommended read, it has thrown me into a bit of tizzy over what I'm doing with a camera in the first place. Which leads naturally to the question of what the heck is this phlog all about. And I was just starting to have fun again. To quote, '...and just wandering around looking for pictures, hoping that something will pop up and announce itself, does not work.'. Seems like that's exactly what the majority of us phloggers, especially me, are doing, and it's got me a little worried. Doomed to mediocraty I fear unless a sharper point, a larger purpose is brought to bear on my trigger finger I'm digging deep to find a real reason to take that next shot...

From a combination car show/bluegrass concert in Herriman,Utah. We played(though not really a bluegrass band...), it was freezing cold for August, and there were about six people in the audience. The cars were fun though.
