Cameras:
**Motorola ic902 - Probably the best of the (poor) choices with Nextel for a camera phone.
**Canon Powershot A430 - Oh, how I love thee, let me count the ways....Primary camera - if it a good photo, this took it.

Gracie!

(viewed 842 times)
Is this not the most beautiful Golden you've ever seen, even if she is
having a bit of a bad hair day? Heck, 5 hours in the cargo hold and I
sure wouldn't look this good! She's extremely sweet, very calm
(although that could be tiredness - she's had the biggest day of her
life!), and took to my folks right off. This is right off the plane,
these three pics, and we could all tell already that this one was
finally going to be the adoption that worked. Yay!

Moving on from sadness

This is Shawnee, with JennyB, and then with Cheddar, a friend's
Airedale. Shawnee was my parent's beloved yellow Labrador
Retriever/Golden Retriever/who-knows-what mix. She died this past
December of cancer, very unexpectedly - she became paralysed with what
we thought was a ruptured disk (expensive but fixable) but tests showed
that disk ruptured because of cancer in her spinal cord - and she also
had a tumor in her heart. Poor old girl had no chance for recovery, so
my poor folks had to euthanise her. It's been a long four months of
searching, including an adoption that failed because the poor pup they
adopted turned out to be vicious....because it turned out she also had
cancer (a brain tumor) and had to be euthanised. But finally, we can
all do the "New Pup Happy Dance", as tomorrow we are all going to trek
east to Boston to pick up the lovely Gracie
at Logan Intl.
Airport! She is being flown in from New Orleans, LA. She is a purebred
Golden Retriever who was given up because her former owners were having
a baby - pause here for me to pick up my eyes, which have rolled right
out of my head! I'm going along to get her at my parent's request so I
can digitize the event for posterity :-). Many pictures will be
forthcoming, I am sure!

A favor

Kozika San, could you tell me what the symbols on this coin mean, and
how many yen it is? I found this coin at a market here in the US many
years ago and forgot I had it until a few weeks ago.

For Kozika San

Now you can see what JennyB really looks like now - this is a much
better picture of the Princess Face :-) I am going to ask you for a
favor in the next post...

First pic with new camera!

(viewed 1098 times)
It's finally arrived (and UPS received a nastygram for leaving an
expensive piece of equipment on the front porch within sight of the
street - they never even knocked) and I just had to check the macro out
first - some beadwork I've been doing here. VERY nice - color is very
true. easy to use, lots of bells & whistles. Expect lots of pics, people!

Hmmmm

I wonder why this person is grinning like a mad person? Evil-like,
even. And what could that be on screen?

You know you are a railfan when...

...you get caught in stopped traffic by a train, and instead of swearing
about it like everyone else, you go purse-diving for the camera :-)
