If you’re reading this, your opinion matters to me. Even if you never interact with blogs, would you consider weighing in just this once? It would really help (and it’s totally anonymous).
Here’s the situation: I’m thinking it might be fun to enter a photo or two into a travel photo contest, though my pix aren’t particularly meritorious. Can you tell me which (if any) of the following twelve possibilities you think might be worthy of submission?
When you click on each thumbnail, its one-word slug will show up in white letters under the bottom row of thumbnails. Click on that link for a full-sized picture.
Beneath the photos is where you cast your vote. I’d really appreciate your opinion.

Here are pictures I took today on my seven-mile hike with Anna in Tilden Park. My mother-in-law, Helen, once referred to the dry, summer hills of California as “burnished,” which (she would have known) derives from a Middle English word for “brown.” I’ve always thought it was an evocative description of the shine of brittle grasses at this time of year.
This is a Flash gallery for a change. The link below the thumbnails will get you to a full-size image.

For a change, I’m gonna let the pictures do the talking, or however the saying goes. All you get is a bitteen of context:
Dinner with Anna, Frank and Amy tonight. I’ve known Amy since before she was born, and this is the first time I’ve seen her for years. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I used to do my favorite baby trick with her. With “Airplane Baby” I’d swoop her infant self back and forth over my head: Vroom, vroom! Airplane BAYbeeee! I stopped playing it after that time she puked into my mouth.
Oh, and here’s a picture Katie sent me of her post-surgified foot. She has a nice little slash on the other side of her ankle, too. And she’s wearing the toe cover I made her!
