I’ve decided to try out a new theme called “Inuit Types.” It’s got a lot of cool features, but I’ve found a few snags as I’ve tried to configure it. For one thing, thumbnails only work with images I’ve uploaded into my WP.com media library—this means that I can’t thumbnail older posts unless I go back and modify each one individually, uploading the images into the library instead of using a link from an off-site source (which I presently use). So, things are going to look funny for a while. At least until I’ve got enough new material posted to account for all of the posts on the front page. That said, you can view each post individually (by clicking its title link) and thereby view each post.
Okay, so it’s not really Tuesday, it’s Wednesday. I didn’t get a chance to update yesterday, so I decided to go ahead with the double photo post today.

A honey bee gathering nectar from a flower. He made a rather complete circuit of this bush and got his little “saddlebags” full of pollen. Image shot in March 2009.
