After all the time away, it felt great to return to Chattanooga today and share in the sincere and earnest practice of the sangha there.  Ninety minutes of zazen followed by a half-hour dharma talk, lunch, and a pleasant drive both ways.

For those of you who for some reason or another haven't gotten enough of yesterday's East Atlanta Strut pictures and want to see more, but only if they could be of lower quality, I've posted the cell-phone pictures that I took yesterday between pictures with my regular camera over at the Live Site.  

This is getting complicated: while I was up in the Northwest, traveling light without a car or a laptop, I could only post my cell-phone pictures remotely to this blog, but since returning home, I've started posting the higher-resolution pictures taken with my digital camera at the Live Site.  But now that I'm home and have access to all my usual resources and can post the high-res pictures here, I've taken to posting the cell-phone shots over there.

Also, it's taking longer to sort, edit and upload those pictures than I had thought, so at this point, I only have the first two days of Bumbershoot from earlier this month posted at the Live Site, followed by recent (yesterday) pics of the Strut, which will eventually be followed by more Bumbershoot and then MFNW shots, at least in theory.  So much for chronology.  At least I've finally figured out how to use the "cut" feature over on the other site, though, so you don't have to let every picture download now when you click over to there, but can choose to see the larger set of pictures if you want by hitting the "read more. . .
