Over the weekend I took a day trip to Big Sur to do some hiking. The yellow flowers scattered across the landscape were spectacular. Here are some of the highlights:

South Dakota Time Lapse
Having recently spent some time in South Dakota, I was especially excited to see this time lapse video by Randy Halverson:

Much more interesting than I would have expected.
Photography
For a while now I’ve been meaning to set up a photography portfolio website. I have some pictures here, but the coding I used to build the site is held together with the equivalent of duct tape, making it fairly tedious to update. I’ve also tried using Flickr at least three separate times, and the rest of my photos are sitting on either Facebook, Picasa, Google+, or this blog. I need a better system. So I’ve decided to give Flickr a more serious go, with the hope of eventually using it to host my files for a portfolio website. I probably failed in the past because I was too ambitious. I’d try to upload all of my files at one

Previous Yellowstone posts here and here. These were some natural hot springs, again colored with orange microbes that can survive in near boiling water: It’s an elk: Baby buffalo: It’s a moose: Yellowstone’s biggest canyon. It’s appropriately referred
