*!^*&)*@ (and other musings)

Well, here we are again. I always say I'm going to post more on this blog and I never do, so I have decided to give myself some more achievable goals *cough*. The phrase "life happens" is grossly overused, but it also is unfortunately accurate most of the time. Its not that I don't have the ability to regularly keep up with posting on my blog, its that I simply forget about its existence 95 percent of the time.

I apologize to anyone who has followed my blog in the past and was disappointed by the severe drought of posts in recent years. No, scratch that. I'm sorry if you follow my blog, period. Because in this age of instantly updated news and stories and random tidbits, a blog that has, on average, a post a year is quite the letdown. Seriously? One post a YEAR? Yikes. That's truly dreadful.

On that note, here are some pictures from my recent birding adventures. (What, did you think I was going to end on a deep and thoughtful note? Maybe next time...
