Humming Bird vs. Praying Mantis
Though we tend to think of hummingbirds as cute, dainty little things, in reality they make bold and fierce competitors.
They don't let their guard down for a moment while defending their territories from other hummingbirds. They must also watch out for other animals that might prey on them, such as American kestrels in North America or tarantulas in South America. Praying mantises are also known to capture and kill hummingbirds.
WHAT?

2006: Year in Pictures
My favorite hobby is photography. It's right up there with golf, and blogging - but nothing makes me happier then capturing that perfect moment with my digital camera. Like when Paige was potty training and we found here like this, or watching the girls bonding, being goofy, celebrating hard work, difficult times, nature, but most of all, my family.The days and weeks fly by faster each year, and when I look at this album (that's posted in date order) I can't believe how fast the girls have grown. Most of all, I can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's the start of another year!!
Without further ado, here is 2006: Year in Pictures.

A leaf alone
Isn't it interesting that when I look at this picture, my mind tells me that the sun hurts my eyes and I squint?!
Does it happen to you?

James Kim: Father, Husband, Hero
Eleven days ago, a family traveling from Oregon on the way home to San Francisco went missing. After an intense 9 day search, their vehicle is located on a snow-covered back road that they took a wrong turn onto. Only the wife and two small girls aged 4 years and 7 months were present. The wife/mother fed the kids all the food they had and then had to breast feed both children to keep them alive. She did this in overnight temperatures of 20 degrees for 9 days and nights.
James Kim, the husband and father left on Saturday morning for help telling his wife he will return in a few hours if he can't find help Today, on the eleventh day, his body was found "a long distance" away from the car by SWAT team members who were lowered from a helicopter. There were literally 100s of rescuers out there, living on adrenaline in hopes to find him alive - they must feel horrible today.
I really feel a connection to James and his family. First, I have watched him on CNET, secondly he has two little girls. I have been hoping he would be found alive, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I can totally see myself in what he did. If I was in that situation, I would have done the exact same thing James did - he had to go for help - he had no way of knowing how long it would be until someone came. He had to do whatever it took so his children and wife could live on.
I guess that's my true definition of a father and husband and a hero. Godspeed, James. You died knowing that you did everything in your power to get help for your family, and they will know it forever.

When the moon hits your eyes....
... well the moon is white, isn't it? God, why do you have to be so critical? You don't respect me for my creativity anymore do you? When we first started dating - it was the #1 thing you loved about me.... never mind. Posted for PXITE.com contest.
Taken tonight from my driveway... hope you enjoy it.
