Blue Crab

I scooped up this blue crab just north of the Cherry Grove (North Myrtle Beach) pier. The inlet is so thick with them right now that you can catch them with a kiddie net or a bucket. Careful… they bite!

Maine Coon Kitten Paw

Here’s the newest addition to the family. Check out the size of those paws! In these photos, it’s playing in the laundry pile with a plastic milk jug ring. I had a Maine Coon a few years back… I’ve missed having a cat like that. We’ve already had to dissect the couch to rescue the kitten when it got inside and couldn’t find a way out. My calico cat has hissed a couple of times, but she hasn’t peed on my laptop or anything, so I think we’re good.

Atlantis Launch

Here’s a photo from my camcorder at the May 11, 2009 launch of Atlantis for STS-125. The IMAX team was just to my right. Their 3-D cameras are absolutely amazing. They filmed the press that was in front of the countdown clock, so maybe you’ll see me in the Hubble 3-D movie!
