As you can see, I'm still sorting through my pictures from my trip to visit Alex in September. The problem is: I just booked a trip there next month, which means I'll have even more pictures to sort through. So, I'm trying to finish up the September pictures before the February ones are taken. Tough problem I have, I know, to have a son so photogenic.
It doesn't help, at all, that I have the September pictures set to be my iBook's desktop image, alternating images every minute. I've discovered quite a few missed gems that way of late. This was one of them.

Here's the first image. I took it in December when I flew from Stockholm to London.
