Sometimes we show off...

and sometimes we don't show off.

Today, there's this review of Crystal Dragon found on SF site which is kind of cool.

Then, there's a couple of recent pictures. This lily shot from yesterday... caught my eye.


... and then I found these from the last trip to the ocean.... Kinzel being stern and Kinzel being not-so-stern and I should choose one or the other for semi-official use. Got a favorite? By the way, hair was done by Barbara, with help of Ocean Breeze, wardrobe by the Norridgewock branch of the EAA, and photos by Rolanni.

Today we had two new blossoms on the day lily front, and a bunch of small flowers in the cat-garden butterfly feeding zone.

Got some real work done today as well, but mostly paperwork and layout stuff.

We have a tropical storm passing by within hailing distance, sort of, so if I can get myself roused early I may visit a patch of shore in the morning.

Ah, interesting review. I am currently working my way through Crystal Soldier.

I think I like the first picture better, actually, although my expectation from the description had been otherwise.

Oh, that's awful... /groans

My vote is for Kinzel being stern - the other makes me wonder what joke you aren't sharing.

Just to be contrary, I like the "not-so-stern" pic. It looks like you and sometimes it's good to have a secret joke or two. The other one looks vaguely like a mugshot.

I vote for "not so stern"

"Stern" immediately raised the "why is he mad at me what have I done I'm sorry I'm sorry" instanteous guilt reaction. And, when that faded, I also had the lingering sense of it being a mug shot.

I'd go for the not-so-stern variant, you're looking more approachable.

I vote for Not-so-stern too.
I like the more approachable, 'maybe I just heard something mildly amusing' look better.
It makes me think that maybe you might SHARE the joke, a little later.

Your beard and hair need to match better. And an out-right smile would be even better.
