Objet d’Art

Our dog has started her career as a famous artist just yesterday. She’s into sculptures.

Sadly, she used my wife’s glasses for a raw material:

Glasses, after Lizzy got to them

Noooooooooooooooooo…!

Meet Lizzy

Lots has happened since the last time I posted — I got married, for example. Once the professional photographer gets back to us with the pictures, I might even share some ;)

Today, however, I am able to introduce someone else to you, dear readers: Meet Lizzy!

Lizzy

Lizzy is a mixed breed, part (Miniature) Schnauzer, part unknown. The young lady is about 1 year and 3 months old, and Tara and I got her from an animal protection association, where she was dropped off by a family that suddenly decided they didn’t want a dog anymore… She is very well behaved, hardly ever barks, and after a few moments of shyness, loves just about anyone she meets.

Tara and I are very happy to have adopted her and are gladly sharing our apartment now :)

Multnomah Falls

Browsing through the Oregon State University Archives on Flickr, I found this cool 1940 photo of Multnomah Falls, by the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon:

I totally dig the old American cars, and the overall “family day trip” vibe. Also, I just love the color of this Kodachrome color picture.

The falls, by the way, were still as gorgeous as they are in this picture when I went there 65 years later.

From Pig to Man and Back

Sean took this snapshot yesterday:

Swine Flu

He says: “Okay, this swine flu nonsense has officially gone too far.”

Oh, how right. I couldn’t help but laugh at this picture. Ethically speaking, it would probably suit Californian farmers better to be concerned about their employees dying rather than their pigs. Just saying.
