Not bad depth of field and bokeh from the G9. Not bad at all. This was the tree where I saw a moth right after I got this shot. I resituated the camera and started to get all framey when it flew right by me. I don’t like moths, no matter how pretty they might be. Anything that has enough camouflage to blend in that well is instantly more scary because YOU DIDN’T SEE IT 10 SECONDS BEFORE YOU WERE ALL CASUAL ABOUT TAKING ARTY PHOTOS.

Still have the prickles just thinking about that damn moth.

    “The Pickles” ? I have the Heebie Jeebies thinking about reading a blog by a guy who has “The Pickles” .

    @ikarl67 — I kinda like the idea of “The Pickles” as a condition. It just makes everything sound less serious:

    I got The Pickles when I read that the Dow plummeted 400 points.

    I was overcome with The Pickles when I read that McCain was ahead of Obama in the polls.

    Hearing about the $700 Gazillion bailout gave me a serious case of The Pickles.

    Yeah, doesn’t work so well after all. I really don’t feel any better, dammit.

    But it does sound funny, for what that’s worth.

    I thought The Pickles was a medical condition caused by overuse of Viagra.

    Oh come on, moths aren’t that bad. Now spiders, those give me the heebie jeebies.

    I call clients who are grumpy, frumpy and disagreeable “pickly”.

    i can’t wait to hear your comments on the latest mccain insanity. i’m sure you’ve seen this, but i thought i’d do my part and link it to you anyway, for that .1% chance you hadn’t seen it: http://​www​.youtube​.com/​w​a​t​c​h​?​v​=​X​j​k​C​r​fylq-E

    i hope you post it for all to see. … or maybe post something similar from a source less biased than a late-night talk show.

    i know this is unrelated to the photograph, and i’m sorry. if you choose not to publish this comment, i’ll understand. :)
