Pictures backlog

I have all of these pictures I take that I mean to put with blog entries but I never manage to download the pictures often enough. I'm going to add them to the correct posts, but I figured I'd put them here, too, so that you don't have to hunt for them.

Eagle in a nest in Anchor Point, AK
Ready to obliterate spiders

This sucker was in my car. I sprayed him with 409 then tried to take a picture to identify him but while I was trying to do that I noticed another of the same type of spider floating through the air toward me.

Bad picture, but this is the bunny that lives in my yard.
The Harley guys (Jim and Jimmy)
I think it's Mt. Iliamna, but I still don't have them straight so I could be wrong. It's one of the four active volcanoes across the Cook Inlet from the Kenai Peninsula.
I don't even have to say much, here, do I? I do want you to know that it was 45 degrees out!
If you enlarge this one you'll be able to see the volcano in the background and there's an eagle flying over, too. This was a neat area that sloped down to the ocean. If someone showed me this picture and I had to guess where it was taken It'd be a long time before I guessed Alaska (at least before spending time here).
Looking across the Cook Inlet from just north of Homer, AK
EEEEEEVIL mailbox. They also had one of the those mobile homes that's shaped like a twinkie painted the same way. It was a little coffee hut. No Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks here, just coffee shacks. I sorta like it.
Anchorage. It's common to see signs with dents/holes from being shot at. It's also common to see paintball marks on signs. Guns, guns for everyone!
Purdy. Better enlarged. Click on it to do that.
Dumbest bumper sticker ever. I wanted to smack her.
Fire pit fun with the greeks.
Eagle. I saw a lot of them that day. A lot of them hang around Homer, which is where I went, but I actually took this on the way. I was probably in Kasilof or somewhere around there.

the bumper sticker just irritates me. get off your high horse lady and go, well you can finish that sentence! it is not practical to get a sleeping baby out of the carseat to bring them in the store and then do the shopping with the one hand you've got left and oh yeah put the baby back in the seat. i'm sure that baby is enjoying the in and out of the seat... sure you could use a sling or a baby carrier to give yourself two hands, but if the kid is sleeping or even content why bother!

are those shoes comfortable?? i'm in the market for a very comfortable pair of sandals that i can wear every day. my teva's just aren't enough these days...

yeah, the shoes are awesome. They slide right on and are really comfortable. One of the best pairs of shoes I've had in a long time.

The brand is Keen, by the way. One other really good thing is the closed toe because you don't pick up as much stuff in your shoes as you do with tevas. Of course, when you do it's harder to get out, but it happens less often.
