Flickr Photostream Awards 2008

a great year., originally uploaded by Ryanwiz.

Here they are in all there unordered goodness. I spend WAY too much time digging through the millions(?) of photos Flickr has to offer…and I thought I’d mention a few of the streams that consistently grab my eye, refusing to let go.

These guys and gals HAVE something. I have no idea what that something is…but I love it. I only wish we could all share a bit of that something from time to time….around a fire…and perhaps in a pipe or thick-glassed jug.

Either way, theirs is a talent through which I hope to someday dip my eyes; a more welcoming lamination of magnificence, does it exist?
I love you all.

why fighting solves nothing.

A man is dead and two others will be going to prison for a long time. Just sad.

In the past week Oliver has decided to both start walking around everywhere – carrying things, sitting up, and then standing – and to greet me when I walk in the door from a long day at work with, “Hi, Dad.”

Simply amazing.
