The Daily Doings of Steph

As the Ski Boy and I were puttering down our road on our way home, we came up on this guy. I rolled down the window (actually one doesn’t “roll down” windows anymore) and took this shot with my cell phone. Too bad I didn’t have my Canon 30D with me.

Tygey and I were in Henry II headed down the little road leading into our cul de sac when we pulled up alongside this gal. We stopped, I hit the automatic window down button for the passenger front seat, whipped out my phone and took this picture. We were quite close - within ten feet.
I’ve […]

It’s been snowing all day long - and of course, in my opinion absolutely nothing beats a snowy day!
And now that the snow has showed up, the moose are moving back into the neighborhood. Late this afternoon in the waning light, Peter spotted this big guy munching down on our neighbor’s Mountain Ash tree.

Tyge was a corporate dog today - he came in for the morning. Our house cleaners do their magic every other Thursday. But Tyge is somewhat officious and strongly believes that no-one should be in the house if Peter and I aren’t there. Hence Tyge’s corporate dog status every other Thursday.
Anyhoo, Tygey and I headed […]

A moose here. A moose there. Moose everywhere. Our house has been moose central for the past week. Now that we’re finally moving into breakup, the snow pack has gone down a tad. As a result, all of our delectable trees and greens are somewhat more accessible to the ungulate population.
This morning, this guy stopped […]

Yesterday morning, as I stepped out of the shower, I heard Tyge downstairs barking. I ignored the cacophony - Tyge frequently barks at invisible elephants. As I brushed my teeth, the barking continued. Hmmm….I began to wonder if our cow and calf moose pair had returned. So, while still in my birthday suit, I zoomed […]

We hosted an unplanned sleepover last night - a Mama moose and her nearly full grown calf bedded down in our yard for the night. Tygey and I almost stumbled over the Mom as we headed out on our early morning constitutional. Mom was off to the side of the driveway and the calf was […]

I’m a member of the “One Cannot Possibly Post Too Many Moose Pictures” club. And as a premier member of that club, here are a few pictures I took last week of a pretty hefty calf in our neighbor’s yard. Mom is out of sight, off to the right. I had just arrived home from […]

One of the applications featured at last week’s Demo was Mixpo. Mixpo is sort of multimedia storyboard application. It piqued my interest and based on Alec’s recommendation, I decided to give it a try.
So, here’s my little multimedia experiment with pictures I took last night. I wonder if one can add music to this. Or, […]

Anchorage has a new brand:

The new brand is not hideous. I was worried - a teaser was published yesterday indicating that our new brand might be: “Our Lifestyle Runneth Over”. That one was problematic on so many levels.
So - the new brand isn’t bad, I could become accustomed to it. But the little logo […]
