My Type

Castle Rock

If it weren't for the marine layer, the ocean would be visible behind me!

Blue boy Bachelor Button Cornflowers

I planted these all over the hillside behind my cousin's house (the photographer). It took them nearly three months to show up! I had given up on them, but recently I went over for dinner, and saw a view much like this photo. These are one of my favorite flowers. If I ever marry, they're likely to be in my bouquet. :)

Garden Project Continued

 This cantaloupe hardly seemed like it would make it back in May. It was started indoors, and put directly into the ground one sunny afternoon without any acclimation time to ease the shift. It withered initially, but after a week or two it decided to make it. So it did.

 The watermelons were seeded directly into the soil. They're doing quite well! This one is a bit larger than a baseball. For such a late start, everything is producing enormously!

 This is Kittties. She kills bunnies and birdies for kicks.

Finally, here are the first of the green tomatoes. I am SO excited about these! I can't tell you how much I long to sink my teeth into a fleshy mater!

Sonoma Lads Inked

Check out how much better they look with ink!

What does this look like to you?

 These pictures are cropped as the scanner could not fit the entire piece of paper. I could patch them, but hey, I'm lazy, ok?

This one up top here is a fellow who shall remain nameless. He has sun-streaked autumn hair and eyes that sparkle like a moon on fire.

I never did finish the drawing, if you can't tell. All those evergreens were taking up all my spare time! I'll never finish now.

On our right is the handsome younger brother of he who shall remain nameless. Handsome, but not so much that he'd tempt my starry gaze from the elder brother. No sir.

So that is that. Two farmer boys who have captured my imagination. Yep.

I am a tag fanatic. Each locale in which I've spent significant time has a slew of tags I love. I'll list a few examples for you.

San Francisco - Lurk, Falling, Paeday, Astro, Cancer Carl, 189., Aesop, Duet

Santa Barbara - Goon, rope, Lady Monster

Sonoma county - Mogly, um., irate lords

I recently moved again. This photo is my new favorite tag. It had good timing is all. I'd just been talking about how "dope" ought to take place of "cool" in slang-land, then about an hour later I found this tag.





I am aware that most people don't consider tagging an art. Generally it isn't. However, there are certainly exceptions. It depends on both the moniker and the placement. Finding "lurk" scrawled all over the avenues was meaningful to me when I was in my "lurk all over the avenues after dark" phase in San Francisco. Also, there is something magical about finding remote urban ruins scrawled all over with recognizable tags. Just means the taggers play like I play.

Contrary to what the photo hints, I am not in San Francisco.
