Out on a Sunday cruise. A foot cruise, I suppose.

[jackshoegazer]

Ethan and I took a long walk today, partially to run errands, but mostly because it was just an absolute perfect day and we definitely needed to get out of the house.  We were ridiculously exhausted by the time we got home, but it was worth it.  Here's our photographic documentation of our trip, plus a few other random pictures:


Father & Son Start the Journey


I took this one through Ethan's sunglasses.


Ethan makes me make goofy faces.


See!  It's all his fault.


He really is so serious.  Only for the camera.  Otherwise, he's a goof.


The water was so clear, I got a picture of a fish and it's shadow on the floor.


Graffiti on a street sign.


A glove on an electrical pole.  Yeah, I don't get it either.


My chest wound is healing.


Along Wingra Drive.


So far, the lone pepper in our garden.


A short road cutting through two streets we needed to cross.


We know pointing isn't polite, but we couldn't help ourselves.


See, the water is seriously so clear, but algae-encrusted.


Walking in my new red shoes!


Who leaves their toys laying around?


I just liked this random shot.


Some of our tomatoes in our garden.


See, the water's a bit swampy.


Today's garden harvest of two zucchini and six little tomatoes.


Some yellow flowers.  They're perty, huh?


I don't know why, but I do love signs.
So that be it, my peoples.  I have to get some sleep.  5am is much too early for me!

So, I read your other post about Ethan getting taller....
I just didn't think he got THAT MUCH TALLER AND BIGGER AND OLDER LOOKING! Us kids sure do grow up rather quickly sometimes...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he just aged about 5 years this summer. It's weird.

It does look like it was a lovely day. I have to acquire a digital camera. Far too often I have these urges to take pictures of stuff when I'm out walking and plaster them all over my LJ ...

In that first shot, you both totally look the same age :P

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I'm all about plastering.

[weishaupt.livejournal.com]

Also, I am jealous of your tomatoes.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Egads, there's so many more!

I especially like the sign graffiti (not sure why, it's just so bold) and the one of you guys pointing.

Your gaping chest wound already looks quite a bit better.

What is it about signs? If it weren't illegal I'd steal them all. I like that they're just passively giving information all the time.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

My gaping chest wound is just that. Ugly and gaping. I can't wait until it's totally healed :P

I second the 'I know you posted about Ethan getting taller, but when the &$*#&$ did that happen!' sentiment!

I love every day photos. And I love the pointing photo. :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D Yeah, dude's tall.. I can't get over it. I easily remember when he was shorter than my arm :P

Holy crap, Ethan is huge. And his face has so many more angles. Somehow, between the the last pictures at the Hair salon and the eyelashes pictures, the baby fat has really thinned out on his face. He looks almost Asian here.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

He's basically lived at the pool this summer, so he's been swimming tons and getting insanely tanned so he definitely looks older, especially with the shorter hair, methinks.

We've always thought Ethan looked vaguely Asian, especially when he was very young. Did you see it when I posted his day-old baby picture? Maybe it's a past-life thing. He does love sushi ;)

Ahhh! The garden needs weeding again!!

I like the shot of the river - that's lovely!

[moonshinekat.livejournal.com]

great pictures! your son is getting so tall!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

He's just a fraction over 6-foot now! We both are hoping he slows down or stops growing now :)

[bedlover.livejournal.com]

Hehe. He's taller than you are. But you have an awesome scar. So you win. For now.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Ah, he's still an inch-and-a-half shorter than me, but I don't expect to keep that lead much longer :P

[seeitbloom.livejournal.com]

This picture is blowing my mind:

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

your chest looks like its healing well :)

I too love taking pictures of signs :) just took this one the other day :D

and I am bound and determined to go down that road one day!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

It's where the leprechauns live.

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

sweet!! want me to catch one for you?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

As well it should! Actually I photoshopped it a bit to make it extra-cool.

[lionserpent.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see that you're feeling better. You're healing up really quickly after such an invasive surgery. I hope that you're up to 100% soon!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks, me too. All my doctors and nurses that I've had check-ups with say I'm doing very well and healing quite quickly, so that's very good :D
