Baby Koala
I’m going to keep this one simple to make it easier for those of us that aren’t so great at keeping in the lines.

Some photos from my roof
It’s in the 30s*, not too cold, and no wind. I ran up to the roof with my 70-300mm Sigma DG and snapped off a few shots of our little slice of Cleveland.*Fahrenheit
Thanksgiving Sushi
This is surprisingly good. A nice meld of flavors and textures. It's fine cold, and holds together well.
