Leaf on sidewalk

As we’re heading into Autumn here; I’ve been walking around with my camera taking pictures of the leaves. I’ve added a few new images to the gallery of the leaves. To the left, you can see one of my favorites. I walked over to my Mom’s place1 and saw this leaf on the sidewalk. I crouched down, set my camera on the sidewalk and snapped it. I’m vain enough to say that it’s vaguely arty and I like it. 😀

Oh and if you’re curious about this photo. I’ve had it for a while and I’ve been meaning to add it to the gallery but kept forgetting.

1Hi, Mom!

I’ve seen this meme in several different places. I finally decided to heck with it and that I’d do it myself. The items in bold are the ones I’ve done and the rest are viewable after the jump.

01. Bought everyone in the pub a drink
02. Swam with wild dolphins
03. Climbed a mountain
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive
05. Been inside the Great Pyramid
06. Held a tarantula.
07. Taken a candlelit bath with someone
08. Said “I love you” and meant it
09. Hugged a tree
10. Done a striptease

It occurred to me lately that I’d been really slacking off on working on any of my arty skills and I decided that for the foreseeable future:

  • I will do one sketch a day.
  • At the end of the week, I’ll review those sketches.
  • I will then pick my favorite of those sketches and post it on my site.

If you’re not a regular WP user, then you might not have noticed there’s a large amount of anger and frustration happening in their support forums lately. Basically, some people in the community have spent a great deal of time and effort helping out WP users with layout problems that others ended up with due to quirks in the default layout and in some1 of the designs that were posted over at Alex King’s WordPress Style Competition. But that wasn’t the direct cause of the current mess in the forums; no the blame for that seems to rest with Michael’s announcement that a variation of his Kubrick style would be included with the next release of WordPress. This was the spark to an apparent holy war between WP’s community support leaders2 and WP’s developers, with a bunch of fanboys on the sidelines escalating things.
