Ugh! What a day. At least it payed off for the kid and she danced her heart out and won the first first of her dancing career. Hard earned and well deserved. #highlandgames #dancedad #firstplace

pixelazy I was trying to figure out what this little spider was because I either haven’t seen one of these in my backyard or I haven’t been looking close enough. Either way, the #botanicgarden once again proves the place for some #insect #macro #spider pics.

8r4d This gives new meaning to the term “field work” doesn’t it? #keyboard #writing #summer

8r4d While most of the #runcrew was off in the mountains sweeping up the last couple legs of Sinister 7, a few of us stayed behind for some Sunday #running in the #rain followed by the regular coffee meetup.
