mesquito said...: Too perfect. If you are claiming you took that photo we'll naturally require some proof, Professor.; 8/22/10, 4:57 PM

I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, 'Son, now don't be silly'; 8/22/10, 5:18 PM
Ann Althouse said...: @John Thanks for the subtle spelling prompt. Corrected.

@EK It's a very un-Monet water lily. Too clear!

@mesquito I know it has an irritating perfect-y look. I apologize! I did take the picture.

I was testing my new monopod.; 8/22/10, 5:23 PM

NYT clarifies DeLay's conduct:

"But many of Mr. DeLay's actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them."; 8/22/10, 6:05 PM

That shade of blue is so wonderful. I have trouble naming color shades. What are some guesses as to what that shade would be? Azure, maybe?; 8/22/10, 6:06 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: This photo warms the cockles of my heart. El loto es mi flor más preferida del mundo. It's everywhere in Egyptian and I suppose that's an obsession.

Why, just yesterday I cranked out a thank-you note that featured them. Care to have a peek?; 8/22/10, 6:12 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: That's Egyptian art.; 8/22/10, 6:13 PM

BJM said...: So which monopod did you get?; 8/22/10, 9:10 PM
Peter Hoh said...: Back on this thread two weeks ago, Saint Croix asked, "Who on the right has attacked civil unions?"

Beth and I gave a couple of examples. Here's another one: Wisconsin Family Action, who have filed a lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's Domestic registry program.; 8/22/10, 10:34 PM
Leland said...: Wow, that shot should win some money.; 8/23/10, 7:35 AM
Big Mike said...: You make me nostalgic. I put in a lily pond at my former residence for my wife. It looked very nice, but normal lilies close up before 6:00 so we needed to add a night-blooming tropical that I could look at when I got home after work.; 8/23/10, 3:45 PM
Ann Althouse said...: @BJM This one.

I really should get a tripod. I could see that. The monopod is something I want to use as a walking stick on hikes with my little camera stuck on top for the occasional and easy shot.

The big Nikon with a large lens (70-300) was a bit much.; 8/23/10, 10:04 PM
