Thunder Over Louisville

My friend Cara again offered her awesome condo for watching the coolest show in Louisville. It started with an airshow.

Then fireworks! These were just a test.

This airplane had fireworks coming off it. It looks like a fairy.

This is the grand finale but I uploaded the pictures backwards.

JOHN!

It's so fun watching John try to figure out how to crawl.

Look at his expression of determination.

The birds are back

Birds have been waking me up every morning, so I decided to go return the favor and harass THEM.

I don't know what this little guys is. If anybody does, let me know.

These are downy woodpeckers. The males have red on their head.

The male.

The male and female cardinals look a lot different.

This guy didn't wake me up, and he's from California, but i put him in anyways.

Same with this pelican.

Snow Pics

We got some snow the other day so I went out to take some pics. I messed around with these a little bit in Adobe Lightroom, trying to get a really contrasty look.

guess we should have gone with a 4 wheel drive car

Ode to the garbage can snowdrift
(our garbage can is 2x its natural height with that white hat)

Pull up a chair, wait, this one might be taken. . .

The walk that's been shoveled 5x, and still maintains that beautiful "fresh snow" look
