I went out riding my bike today (to church and the coffeeshop in Perrysburg). I found this really big bumblebee on the sidewalk and decided to test the depth-of-field tricks I read about with my new camera. It is like being in high school photo class again, only doing it the easy way (with a point-and-shoot, more or less). Even if the photography stinks, it certainly helps me appreciate things more when I get to take pictures of them. For instance, I would not have looked at this bee for very long had I not had a camera. It turned out to be a neat bee to look at.

Anyway, it is dissertation time. I hope to get enough done that I can turn in a decent draft soon.
