3:00 snapshot #825

The iPod camera shutter is sensitive: click click! The 3:00 snapshot can be a diptych. Toward the end of his visit I tossed Dad a frisbee--I hadn't done so in over 20 years, and I didn't say anything before I did it. We played frisbee for 10 minutes or so, with Charlie chasing the disc between us. My dad has been visiting us more frequently, which is nice. I should go visit him more often, but since we have all these dogs around, he's more able to make impromptu trips around.


Dad fell in love with Preston, because, how could you not?


We had lunch at The Village Manor. (Why do pubs insist on having websites that automatically play music? It's really annoying.)

The Bird's World Loft, where AAZK has meetings, and where we were storing and sorting the silent auction items.


Lily lives up there much of the time, she's one of my favorite zoo birds. She seems to have a crush on me, even though I once had to manually restrain her for a veterinary procedure.

The more I look at these iPod pictures the less I like them. In low light conditions they pixel up, and in bright sunshine the highlights are way too hot. Can't complain about the portability, though.
