dated

yo dudes. below are photos, a bit dated, but nonetheless they are here, here almighty.

the first bit includes photos of the birding trip i took with lars in bolinas, ca during his visit here a few months ago. bolinas is a super tiny beach / hippie community north of sf where lars did birding work years ago. a lot of his birding buddies are still there, so lars was able to reminisce and chat and i was able to borrow super sweet binoculars and go on many birding adventures:

most folks asked us if we were whale-watching, but in fact i was i-hope-i-see-a-coot-ing:

a strangely desolute looking environment directly next to the shoreline, or perhaps i don't know my "habitats" very well:

the path along the lake during a different hike:

el lago:

walking along the path:

surrounded, or perhaps alongside of, various birding smarty-pants-faces:

the next bit includes photos of leonard and crew. leonard is the fantastic son of gun who i met couchsurfing in edinburgh, scotland. he now lives in angel-land in so-very-so-cal, and came up to sf on a comedy tour. oh he is hilarious. hi-LARE-ious... and strangely has become one of my closest friends, even though i've spent no more than 7 days with him in total. travelling sure as heck brings people together. oh digressions, how cool you are.

leonard to the left with his cute as sin boyfriend, kieran. kieran is also wooonderful, which is not suprising considering how top notch leonard is:

with the gang. not pictured is jessi, who's sarcasm and crassness surpass my own. whoa.

it's great to have these kids living in this state. yes, they are far away l-a-style - but it's good to know i will be able to see them whenever i venture southward.

photos from wa/mt may take a while, but hopefully these will do for now. yes? yes. yes!
