Our whole family went to Zoo Lights tonight.
Although it didn’t really rain on us, an intermittent mist kept the ground wet and reflective.
My 10 Favorite Photos of 2013
Carrying a camera with me most of the time, I take a lot of pictures. I take pictures during my bicycle commute. I take pictures when I fly. I even take pictures while I wait for my flight. And I post a bunch of them.
Of the pictures I took and posted in 2013, these are nine of my favorite.
Finally, I include my favorite animated GIF from the year.
That makes an even ten. Do you have a favorite? Did I miss your favorite?

Zoo Trip
Yesterday, we took a quick trip to the Oregon Zoo to see Lily, the elephant born last November. It was my second trip to the zoo this week.
The weather was nice and the animals were out and visible. Good times!

Visit to the Oregon Zoo
We took a short visit to the Oregon Zoo this afternoon. The weather was misty and the crowds were surprisingly light.
The animals were watching us as much as we were watching them.

Zoo Lights 2010
Tonight we went to the Oregon Zoo to see Zoo Lights. The weather was WET; it rained the whole time. We got hot chocolate near the entrance, rode the train, and walked through most of the lighted areas.
We didn’t linger.
I have more Zoo Lights pictures.

Christmas Blobs
I attempted to duplicate Aaron Hockley’s “My Christmas Was A Blur.” How hard could it be?
Apparently, pretty hard. I took pictures of sheets of Christmas lights while panning and/or rotating my Canon Digital Rebel XT. It didn’t record continuous blurry lines. Instead, I got discrete, blurry blobs. Not exactly the effect I was expecting. (Click the pictures for larger, “clearer” views of my blobs.)
I tried something similar with my cell phone’s video capabilities.
More blobs. And now I feel a little dizzy. *<:-)
Oh well. Ignore Aaron’s awesome picture. This is what I intended. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
