My lip splits fairly regularly.

Cherry blossoms on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. I love how crowds of people come to campus each spring just to see them!

Handmade panorama. Click and click until it is full-size.

The plum trees have started to blossom.

I walked 10km today and saw some Seattle frost.

In December, 1975, at the age of nine, I had one of the most significant experiences of my life: I spent a week at Boston Children's Hospital to have one of my congenital heart defects, a coarctation of the aorta, repaired by cutting the narrow section out and stitching the resulting ends together (an end-to-end anastomosis, I believe). They went in through my left side/back, and now I've had this long scar for 50 years. Happy Anniversary, scar!

A few years ago, I was walking around my neighborhood and came across some items marked "free" on the sidewalk. One of the items was a nice, old tricycle that I thought would be perfect for my friend's daughter. There was also a beautiful old pail full of nails (and a few screws). I put the pail on the tricycle and pushed it all back to my house. The pail then sat in my garage until the other day, I was taking apart an old electric toothbrush and found the strong magnet that most electric toothbrushes seem to contain. I threw this in the pail, and when I pulled it out, it brought a nice clump of nails with it. Doing this 100+ times and photographing each clump resulted in this image.
