The post that's worth 10,000 words, but contains far fewer

Alright, so here's the picture post number 1... Half of our pictures may indeed be gone forever, but I’m diligently working to make sure that doesn't happen (server bad - not wanting to work - all pictures backed up on server - want to kill server). All of the pictures taken in Oz were done by the B, as he had the awesome camera, and I was just plain lazy. However, this does make it so that I actually ended up in some of the pictures. Rollover for explanations. Hopefully, I'll have the next set up within the next couple of days. Unfortunately, they're not in any chronological order at all. Enjoy.


Butterfly at Port Douglas - It wouldn't keep still enough to get the back of its wings, which were bright blue and blackUluru, at sunsetClouds in the outback - the pic doesn't do justice to them. I stood for 15 minutes just watching them change shape, my mouth agape.About a quarter of the way up the first climb at King's Canyon. That's me in the hat, striking a pose.The traveling SPAM and my Nalgene bottle at a watering hole in King's CanyonMe with Kata Tjuta in the backgrounds, before our hike between domes 2 & 3.
The Garden of Eden watering hole in King's Canyon. I could have spent hours here - it was so eerily calm, with just the calls of birds to break the silence.After the climb back up from the watering hole, I felt it neccessary to take a bit of a rest.Myself, as a plane, in front of the laundromat in Port Douglas.Bleary-eyed after breakfast at our hotel in Port DouglasCircular Quay station, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the left, and the Opera House peeking out on the right.The 'friendly' parrot who was trying to take my finger off at Featherdale Wildlife Park, Blacktown

Good shot of the spam there lady! Oh, and I'm also particularly fond of the one where you're either imitating an airplane or miming someone tripping. Good artistic interpretation!

I have a really wonderful idea that I feel inclined to share with you at this juncture in time and space. I think that it would be wicked were you (and the Boy if he must) to purchase some property in Oz so that all of your fantastic friends of the fun persuasion can play with you in the beautiful scenery. I will be awaiting your response. Delay not!

Whoa Devlyn, small world, eh? I was just looking up other Idaho Bloggers since Kevin (Lestat, Tecil (irc)) started a webring, and found your site. I just now remembered that camping trip and you and I and Kim taking a "walk". Hahaha!!! Anyway, good to know all is well with you!!

Sorry for the delayed comment...you probably won't even read this. I just wanted to say that I think it's kick-ass that you're still wearing the same sparkly sun glasses...I love those things! If you can find a pair, send them to me. Mine are all scratched up and I can't find any like that here!!
