Some very good stuff here. Of course, there's some major omissions imo, but you can't please everyone. Two pictures of Obama? None of the inauguration of Bush with all the consequences that had for the world (you may like or dislike it, but few things were more important). Nothing about the crisis in Darfour and the civil war in Sri Lanka? Earth quake in Iran?
And slightly less important, it's not the end of the decade until a year from now... There's no year 0 in our calendar.
Still. Important stuff. I wish I could believe it's worth bothering to hope for better times to come...

While I was lounging outside the cottage during easter holidays with my Nikon D70 mounted with the "Bigma" (Sigma 50-500mm), this small guy landed pretty close to me and started jumping around a few meters away. Presumably he was both annoyed at me placing myself on top of the wall he had started building a nest in, as well as attracted to the seasons first insects which were circling my cup of tea, waiting for it to get cool enough.
He seemed happy enough to pose, though. Have to say I'm pretty happy with the shot.

Friday was spent driving acrosss Norway from Oslo to Bergen in great weather and through some impressive scenery. We deliberately took a route that noone had taken before or not in so long that they didn't remember it anyway. We didn't stop much, so I didn't take many pictures during the day, but I Uploaded two to
picasaweb, one from Aurland and one from
Gudvangen.

Actually, this is after the sun has set, but still. Mostly a test picture to show off my cameras lovely low noise. This picture was shot with ISO 500; notice the sweet, smooth gradient and soft colours :)
