I succomb to the pull of the camera

Ok, here are some update pictures. I decided to phtograph the strappy tank anyway - if he sees it, maybe it will just intensify the anticipation! Dale is next; this shows the completion of the first chart. And finally, High Tide, though I'm not quite to the shading part yet.

I don't have anything new to say about these, so I'll just give you even more pictures! Boston has been rather rainy lately, and we had some lovely thunderstorms today. The view from my window when the sun came out was lovely. There are seagulls nesting on our roofdeck at work. The pair has two eggs. Maybe I spent a little too much time photographing them this afternoon. We're hoping for hatchlings soon, and that there isn't a whole colony next year. And finally, Davis Square after another burst of rain.

Thank you for all the compliments on Gyrid. I promise she looks much better with a skirt, as I wore her on Sunday. Brenda, I'm glad you liked your lobster. I'm sorry I couldn't send a fresher one! Good that everyone found some part of the gift useful!
