In our neck of the woods, we had a great view, and were able to snap some impressive (for us) pictures. The kids liked it--especially Louis, who gave me a big hug and thanked me for letting him stay up late.
I'll be posting some of the pictures here later. Yes, we picked up a new Nikon L840--pretty solid camera, and solidly-discounted. Madeleine was able to get good pictures at the George Ezra concert on Saturday, too.
For those of you unfamiliar with the young man's oeuvre, here's a representative sample--Dude has pipes.
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far I see you've met my assistant Scarface His appearance is quite disturbing But I assure you he's harmless enough He's a sweetheart, calls me master And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive But it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain Maybe you could cut me just a little slack Would it kill you to be civil? I've been patient, I've been gracious And this mountain is covered with wolves Hear them howling, my hungry children Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet I shouldn't kill you yet I shouldn't kill you yet

Arrivederci.
Call me disruptive, Say I break your concentration. Familiar pattern, Like the waves that break too fast. What do you when it's so brand new That it kills you?
Came on too strong, Couldn't stand it slow, And now I know She can knock me back like a champ
Disembodied ringlets, From hair that looked like yours. Call me the looming shapes of winter's dusk impending
She barely fits inside my head But I feel something Every element but one is in my thoughts
Stop traffic as I lie down in your footpath Like a simile I paint suggestive pictures Of me and you.
Disembodied ringlets, From hair that looked like yours Call me the looming shapes of winter's dusk impending
Call me freaky Call me childish Call me Ishmael Just call me back Call me back Call me back and I'll follow you around
I forget What my friends look like And they forget why they like me But it's an old hat I'm so happy I'm so happy How do you write about that? How do you write about that?
Disembodied ringlets, From hair that looked like yours Call me the looming shapes Of winter's dusk impending
Disembodied ringlets, From hair that looked like yours Call me the looming shapes Of winter's dusk impending.
