I wish I were napping too.

I can’t believe I’ve reached my limit for uploads to flickr and it’s only the middle of the month! Turns out that on the high quality setting, my new camera takes pictures at around 3 MB each! Well, I only get 20 MB free a month at flickr. Ooops.
So what else is there to do but flood my blog with pictures of Dylan!
