It was a lazy Sunday afternoon around here. Even though I didn’t spy anything I considered photo-worthy, I forced myself to pull out the loaner Nikon D80 camera I got from MWW Group and took the impromptu photo above. Embiggened version can be found on Flickr.

Not exactly pushing the D80’s high-octane capabilities to the hilt. I never claimed to be Diane Arbus.

Typically cluttered desktop for me. The bright green and yellow of this stuffed plush toy made for as good a pic opp as anything else around here.

As for the little toy turtle itself: His name is Dash, and apparently he’s part of an initiative by Starbucks to launch a series of children’s books. I’m guessing that idea is dead, because when I picked up Dash on a whim a couple of weeks ago, he was sitting on the bargain shelf with a discounted pricetag. He’ll wind up being gifted to some little kid soon enough.
