I realized earlier this month that I hadn’t posted anything to the site since last year’s Zozobra. I’ve been taking pictures since then but haven’t had a chance to get them on to this site. With the help of a great web app named If This Then That I can post pictures to Flickr and have them automagically appear on this site. I love the internet.
Anyway, last year I stopped with pics from zozobra so this year, I’m starting up with pics of Zozobra. Life is a wheel.
