Corrie never gets to do anything fun

Corrie at the blueberry bog…

Also, note the depth of the mud in the blueberry bog…

Sometimes, you can really see the German Shepard…

And sometimes, you can really see those snaky Border Collie moves…

Gettin’ All Up In Your Social Media

That’s right, Knit-N-Nature has a Twitter account.

The eventual plan is to bring y’all a podcast, but I thought I’d start small (like, 160 characters at a time) and see how Twitter works out.

You can check it out a few ways. You can just go to http://www.twitter.com/knitnnature and read my most recent entries there. While you’re there, if you want to sign up for an account, you can set it to send you a text message or an e-mail any time I post a new tweet.

You can also go to http://www.knit-n-nature.com and look in the right-hand sidebar. The most recent tweets will be listed there. And they’re also listed in the sidebar here on the Last Track blog, just look over there on your right.

I would love to hear feedback about what sort of things you’d like to hear about, either via Twitter or in the eventual podcast. Do any of you listen to podcasts regularly? What sort of formats do you prefer?

Picture Update

I find that I don’t have much to write about these days. Or rather, I have a ton to write about but I just don’t feel like writing about it. If you want to know what adventures I’m up to, you might have to just call me. But I did think that y’all might need to see some updated pictures of Corrie. He’s like a Real Dog now.

Also, Corrie has decided that he likes the water very much.

Playing with RAW in the Rainforest

I just finished reading a couple books that have me re-inspired with photography. One was about shutter speed and the other was about using the RAW file format to process pictures. RAW files are ginormous, and I can only fit about 40 of them on my memory card, so it’s kind of fun to spend a couple hours in the ravine behind our house and limit myself to only 40 shots. I’m used to being able to take more than a hundred. You can’t see a lot of what I’m playing with in this slideshow, because you’d really only see it in print, but it’s super cool. None of these pics have been modified in Photoshop; this is essentially what you would see coming off of your camera if your camera was programmed by me.

Also, isn’t Corrie turning into quite the handsome young man? ;)

Click over to flickr to see the slideshow full-size. it’s much better bigger.

Snow in March

It was fun the first time, and even a little novel the second time. But this is just getting ridiculous. Hello, Nature? There’s a reason we don’t live in Montana!

Because Everyone Loves A Box!

Corrie In A Box

8 Photos

Also, my job at I and I will be ending next week, so I wanted to get some before and after pics of Corrie and Gus and just of Corrie’s growth. The very first picture that I took of Corrie was here at the office. Here it is side by side with one I took yesterday. (click for bigger)

And here he is compared to Gus in the last few weeks. In the younger pic, Corrie was 8 weeks old. He’s now 17 weeks.
