the shoes, cut off the reflection I know...

Crissa this is beautiful and nice work on the shots you posted. LOL on the death grip Deb has on the flowers. I'm going to write down ideas you and Permie and Cat have shown in your shots for the wedding we are doing in March. Thankfully it too will be a very relaxed day, still there are some shots I want to try since they have already told us to feel free to use anything for our portfolio.

Playing with silhouettes. I need to re shoot it with a horse in the aisle.

Very nice

Hanging in there. Trying to psyche myself up for tomorrow. We're going to go see our friend (the one that's been given less than a week or so to live)...those kind of visits are so hard, especially when you haven't seen them in a while...knowing what to say and not to say...it's just hard.

I have to agree with Terri. Don't think about it, the conversation will take its natural course.

My Grandpa had to make the very hard decision to finally put my grandma in a home specifically for Alzheimer's patients. My grandma has gotten to the point where he can't take care of her any more.
It is really really hard on him.

Well, I am off to bed too. Tomorrow we have our annual Bennett Family Curling Bonspiel. Later all.

You're going to be at a bit of a disadvantage, aren't you?:p

Have a great time.


G'MAE all ankle is somewhat better, bit stiff this morning and still some swelling but no signs of bruising. Time and being careful how I plant that foot and all should be well.

I will catch you all later, this is our Sunday to sing = both services.

John, that looks like a cool place!

Does it look like I am laughing-------->

You know those things that you can look back on and laugh? Even tho it might have been not funny at the time? yeah, that aint one of them.

Glad to know you understand Terri.

Hi everyone! Just home from shooting a hockey game. What a hoot! I haven't been to a hockey game in years.

Pink ice is interesting.

Sounds like some serious size 15 action.

John - the train museum looks very nice. Thanks for posting your gallery of tractors/steam engines. You got some beauties and rarities. Poor bicycle.

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!

Good Morning Paula ( late afternoon in the UK )

Well I have had a boring Sunday, it consisted of a Teresa instigated "Tidy up the Office"

T decided to help and dropped about 10 containers of 35mm slides which all opened spilling the contents all over the floor. Was I happy?.... not really, but these things happen

The up side is that I now have a tidy office (and about 10 hours of re-cataloging to do)

I am going to have to come up with a better storage plan for the camera and video gear it is now "Officially" taking over the office.

Nice stack, Neil.

All I have is an old cupboard for mine...

Skrim17 wrote in post #7377709
I'm home!!

Let me first say that Dax and Ley are even more adorable and cute in real life than Deb could ever explain on here!

And let me next say that it was wonderful, exhausting and fun. Nothing is downloaded till tomorrow!

Yay!!!! Glad it was fun and all.

I was just sitting on the floor next to my little boy kitten and he started rubbing and I started skritching and I got major purrage, first time since they've been out of the cage.

Yay Yay Yay!!!! very kewl on the purrage

Permagrin wrote in post #7377820
nothing. I just picked her up. And she tried to bite me but didn't (my reflexes have gotten quick since Kona) . Sometimes she just gets in foul moods. She's been on my lap for the last 20 min. just purring and taking some mom time. I think the dog has her out of sorts. She used to let me cut her nails w/o growling and today she growled at that too...

Maybe she isn't feeling well or something? I dunno, I'm soooo not a cat person.

That is so cool, Becky! I am happy for him, and for you.

While we are sharing proud mama moments, Adam came by today. He is now running. RUNNING!!! 20 minutes twice a day. He showed me his full deep knee bend. He can fully squat and stand from that position, something that he was told may never happen *blinks stupid leaky stuff*

Very kewl, Becky! and that is soooooo wonderful miss Terri!!!!!

I know how this feels all to well. We have recently decided to put my mother in an assisted living place. And she is only 62.

Hey, uh Zane...how'd you get your horizon leaning that bad outside?

They're called "hills"; something I realize you Texas types may not be aware of . . . :{)#

Were you thinking horse and Leyla or just horse, Zane? The former might get a tad crowded . . .

Nice wedding shots Crissa!

Thanks. It's impossible to photograph everything there in one visit. There's just so much to see. There's one area that has nothing but row upon row of old lawn mowers, roto tillers and the like... Twice a year they have events, which is when I shot the tractor parade and there are civil war reenactments there also.

Should have bought shares in Peli!

Did you see my solution to the storage issue? I'm using a wooden roll-away tool box for my camera stuff...

Sorry to hear that, Paula.

A question for the hard drive experts... The Navy Exchange sent out a flyer that lists an ACOMDATA 1Tb external hard drive for $119.99. Is anyone familiar with this brand and is this a good price for it?

Office Depot is listing a Maxtor 1 Tb for $129.99 which I'm also looking at, except there I'd have to pay sales tax.
