March goes out like a lamb with this siesta by the pool.

Scuba tanks

The resort had a carousel the kids could ride.  Doing a little shutter drag here to blur the lights of the carousel , and freeze my son playing on a huge wooden horse carving

Gecko on Bamboo

My youngest reminding me it’s bright out and I should be using the lens hood.

Arriving into Cancun Airport

Youngest getting a haircut before we leave.  His hair is usually out of control.

T-2 days to vacation and we are packed.

Even though I’ve told multiple people my next PC will probably be a Mac (the 24″ iMac quite the seductress), Apple’s software seems to leave a lot to be desired. When I came into work this morning I was greeted with this on my desktop:

My first thought was, “I sure don’t remember installing Safari…  but, did I?” So I looked through was was installed on my PC and, no, it’s not there. Apple is seeing fit to leverage its position on my PC this it has with iTunes into being my browser. Too bad every Mac user I know has told me when I get the above described Mac to immediately install Firefox since Safari is teh $uX.

Microsoft took it up the poop chute when they forced IE7 out to everyone, yet this is somehow acceptable? I could see getting prompted for this svelte (as compare to iTunes) 22MB update if I had one of the preview versions of Safari installed, but I don’t. Sorry Apple, no I don’t want your crappy software, and furthermore, when I do, I’ll go get it myself. Until that time, pour yourself a nice tall glass of go eff yourself.

The Egg Hunt

The Easter Bunny did manage to find our house despite all the snow.  I liked the “panoramic” crop of this. After getting the battery grip for my camera with its vertical shutter release, I find myself shooting a lot of vertical shots, so here is an attempt to go completely opposite.
