I bought a tiny little pocket-size tripod, and went to the mall to try it out with a series of self-portraits. It's been a haaard day's night...

One day, a water pipe buried in our yard sprang a leak!

The water leak soaked our yard and front walk and ran out into the street.

The leak actually started at the base of this tree, which unfortunately for me was the tree that I parked under for shade.

This neon sign at the local Fiesta store advertises the Aorist, a Greek grammatical structure for forming past tenses. However, so many locals have misread it as "florist" and attempted to buy flowers there that they started selling flowers as a sideline. Balloons too, apparently.

When I came home from the Furry Cruise, I found that the water leak in our lawn had been fixed. A crew came out and did extensive digging, and after they fixed the leak, they resodded our lawn.

Unfortunately, they couldn't save my car's shade tree. It used to stand at the corner there, near the lamppost and the bush.

They also had to lay down some sod on the other side of the front walk.

The Christmas tree at the Houston Galleria. The tree is positioned in the middle of the year-round indoor skating rink, and the skaters get to skate around it. After I took this picture and another one of the giant ornaments hanging overhead, a security guard told me I couldn't take pictures in the Galleria. I told her I was just photographing the tree, and she said that was okay.

A self-portrait I took to make a LiveJournal icon out of. In photonegative reverse, the LJ logo I drew on the cardboard takes on the correct colors.
