Thursday evening

I am half-heartedly watching the finale of The Office. It’s never been my favorite TV show but I enjoy it now and then. I think it makes me too uncomfortable sometimes.  I fell in love with John Krasinski through this show, and he’s one of the the main reasons I’ll watch. The chemistry between him and Jenna Fischer is endearing, and when the show began in 2005, he was working as a waiter and she was a secretary. They’ve come a long way.





One of my co-workers bought another lens for his Nikon and he let me borrow it over the weekend. It’s the Nikon 18-300mm VR lens and all of the photos in this post were taken with it.

Dinner.

I love salad with lots of stuff in it.

And Wasa bread on the side.

My hostas.

Kitty in the grass.

Bluebird and bokeh.

I went outside after dinner and kept moving around until I found the right spot. I love the sparkles of light in the background. The longer I stayed out there, the more they began to fade with the light.





She is the only one who does this, I swear. I have never seen the male remove any baby mess from the nest. In fact, the male is always very persnickety about coming to the nest while I’m there. The female doesn’t seem too bothered with me, I guess because she knows that her babies need feeding.

And somebody’s got to do it.

No more sparkly bokeh. But a pretty wing span.

Friday tomorrow. Yay! 

And hey, as far as finales go, The Office has to be one of the better ones I've ever seen. It's sweet, and funny, and sentimental. But most of all, it's unique. As Andy Bernard (character) said tonight towards the end, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."

Ain't that the truth.


This video with John Krasinski and Jimmy Fallon is priceless. Watch if you have a few minutes.
