Blackberries are a very dark purple and generally larger. Raspberries are a dark or bright red and generally smaller.

Yep, that’s the little Torqueling. My wife took that picture after she and I had gone to “Super Tots” gymnastics one day, which is why she’s still in the leotard.

Thanks for the compliment; isn’t it weird that she can have so many of my features, and still be the cutest kid ever? The vertical version of [this picture of her](http://pics.livejournal.com/maxtorque/pic/000125ph) is my cell phone wallpaper; favorite picture ever!

A group of friends and I were staying at another friend’s place for a music festival. The other guy in the pic had been sleeping on the floor for 3 days, When my GF had woken up(her and I were sleeping on the futon in the living room),he decided to grab a few hours more sleep on a mattress. Boy was I surprised when I woke up.

Blackberries start out smaller and bright red.

And if you live in Seattle, as I did at the time, they are _everywhere_. I used to ride my bike through a park to work most days of the week, and during blackberry season I could eat blackberries for breakfast.

Yes, but presumably \*\*Maiira \*\*would be able to see the final product of whatever it is her parents are growing in the backyard.

Can I ask what camera/settings you were using? Those are some seriously nice photographs.

I can ask my friend. I was the tour guide and he was the photographer.

It was a fair trade, he got plenty of great photos and I only got us lost once.

[Dressed as a Dutch nobleman.](http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4050/costumeh.jpg) I just got this costume back from the tailor’s shop yesterday and was trying it on a few minutes ago, when I took that picture. It looks way better in person than it does in the picture. I trimmed my formerly full beard and mustache into a “Van Dyck” goatee to complete the costume.
