I blame redbyrd_sgfic and kalendargirl for this development, but my next knitting project (once I finish webtarkeena's green basketweave scarf) involves #2 dpn needles and celadon "sock weight" yarn. Disturbingly, once I start the socks I will be on my fourth knitting project and I still won't have started the extermaknit Dalek. I sort ofexpected that to be my second project, ...

Merced River, Yosemite Valley Originally uploaded by Tarkeena Much less time for blogging lately - which is fine, since about 5 people are reading it anyway. :) Anyway, we made Fresno our base of operations for four days, and then Sacramento for two days after that. This put us in striking range of Kings Canyon and Yosemite, although very healthy drives to each. Kings Canyon we found...
Here's a picture I didn't take time to post while we were in SF. This tree is along the "Avenue of the Giants," a windingalternate to Hwy 101 outside of Eureka. The Redwoods are spectacular! (Follow the link on the picture for more shots on Flickr)
Close Encounter Originally uploaded by Tarkeena It was gray with a heavy overcast all day today with the temperature pun on the OR coast seems "weird," but today we were in uncharted territory with lots of pretty rocks off the coast - Bandon is just the beginning - and the dismal sky just didn't do them justice. It didn't rain, though, so there's really nothing to complain about. We ...
Bandon Sea Stacks Originally uploaded by Tarkeena Day two of our vacation dawned gray and overcast, but calm. I couldn't get back to sleep after waking the last of many times around 6, so I took a walk onthe beach alone around 6:45. I wandered south to the nearest set of rocks and found a stream blocking my way, so I followed it as it curved back around north for a while, shot some ...
Sunset, Day 1 Originally uploaded by Tarkeena Well, there was a minor crisis or two getting everything (or rather, as always, *nearly* everything) packed, but we managed to get out of the house by 10:30 and actually pointed to the beach by noon, after a stop at Costco for "brunch" and the Library to pick up the crafting book I'm going to be drooling over all week. Our end goal being ...
Al Gore 04-19-2008 Originally uploaded by Tarkeena Three weeks ago, we were turned back on our way to the beach by an unseasonable snow storm. Last week, we got sunburned on Cannon beach. This week, it snowed again! Not just in the mountains where I took these pictures but even down on the valley floor in the 300 ft range it was mixed in with the rain and accumulated on my ...
Ghosts in the Library Originally uploaded by Tarkeena Saturday is our day to sleep in. Between 8 and 9 in the morning, I drifted in and out of sleep, and for some inexplicable reason, in and out of a dream about pinhole photography. Presumably I was inspired by this shot I recently saw in a favorite Flick contact's stream. In any case, in my dream I'd had this flash of insight...
