Something Tiny and Amazing

While I was taking Shelby out tonight, I came across a dead leaf that appeared to be hovering in mid-air about four feet above the ground, just off the sidewalk in the park. It was hanging from a tree branch, attached to a long piece of silk from a caterpillar or maybe a spider, gently twisting and floating around in the breeze. I left all my gadgets at home, so I'll just have to remember it instead.

Tiny Pa. I like this picture a lot. It was also when Lil' Sis and I were trying to take a picture of him between her fingers. Which we couldn't get right. Which I guess is good because then we would have been crushing him Kids in the Hall style.

Here is a view that I see every day. Sometimes its dark out. Sometimes its morning. But this is definitely something I see everyday.

I've mentioned it before, but I still like how the bridge always looks twisted and crooked, while the background is normal. Go Go Gadget camera phone.

Here is a picture of the cheese beer. I went to a 4th of July party that was also a re-Americanization of a girl who spent the last year studying abroad. Hence the slice of American cheese stuck to my beer, (which was accidental, I dropped it but it stuck there which was super great.) Eventually I made a face in the cheese, but didn't get a good pic.

Anyway. The 4th of July in Brooklyn is an amazing thing. Everyone migrates upwards towards their roofs, barbeques up there, and then watches millions of dollars explode in the form of fireworks. It makes for a great holiday cause you can hear everyone clapping and cheering across Brooklyn. We had fireworks in the shape of smiley faces, some 3D cubes, and some fireworks that were wiggly lines that hung almost stationary in the air for about a minute.
