:: GENTLEMAN JIM AKA YOGI ::
OUR GRANDDAUGHTER HAS NAMED HIM YOGI SO I GUESS THAT'S IT.
:: JUNE CHALLENGE-CLICHE ::
:: FELLING THE LEANER AND OTHERS ::
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO A LITTLE FLIPBOOK OF THE ACTION SO MY BEST SUGGESTION IS TO PUT IT ON 'SLIDESHOW' AND VIEW IT AT ONE SECOND INTERVALS.
AFTER LIMBING THE DEAD TREE OF BRANCHES (SOME FELL DIRECTLY INTO THE FIRE) AND BUCKING OFF LARGE UPPER SECTIONS THE LAST SECTION WAS DONE.
I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE FALLER'S ABILITY TO BRING THIS LEANER DOWN IN SUCH A NARROW CORRIDOR.
THE FALLER HAPPENED TO COME AFTER WE HAD LIT A BONFIRE AND DECIDED HE COULD STILL DO THE JOB. JUST DROP BY ONE DAY AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TREE WAS WHAT WAS ASKED OF HIM.
AND AGAIN WE NEEDED HIM TO TAKE ANOTHER TREE. HE IS GOOD.

:: Li'l Guy ::
After all the fuss about choosing a name for this little guy he got the name we use most of all and so that is that.
So here are some pictures of the little guy.
He came to us on Sept. 24th 2010 at eight weeks and three days.
Today he weight 2.8 lbs.
OH my goodness I just realized when my daughter was born 10 weeks early she weighed 3lbs 2 oz and dropped to 2lb 10 oz

:: CHALLENGE #2 SHOES ::
THIS IS THE SECOND CHALLENGE.
:: SIMPLE CHALLENGES #1 BLUE, THROUGH, BLUR. ::
I thought a little friendly challenge might be fun.
The rules will change after a while but the rules are as follows:
CHALLENGE #1
1) there must be something blue in the picture
2) you must be looking through something and not a mirror
3) you must have some camera blur
You absolutely don't have to follow all the rules but if you would like to leave a link to an entry please use this gallery page to show any pictures you may have taken.

THESE ARE NOT GOOD SHOTS BUT THEY MADE ME LAUGH.
:: Lenny ::
OUR SON ROB FINALLY GOT A DOG. HE HAS WANTED ONE FOR A LONG TIME AND A FRIEND AND HE BOTH GOT LITTER MATES SO THEY CAN VISIT AND NOT FEEL SO LONELY FROM THEIR FIRST FAMILY. ROB HAS ACREAGE TO OFFER WITH PLENTY OF EXPLORING. LENNY'S MUM IS A MIX OF GOLDEN RETRIEVER/LAB AND THE DAD SPRINGER SPANIEL SO BLUE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TEACH HIM TO SWIM IN NO TIME. WHEN HE GETS A LITTLE OLDER AND UP ON HIS SHOTS HE WILL MEET BLUE. THAT WILL BE FUN.

IT WAS A WEDDING TO BEHOLD
:: Flowers for Graeme ::
I have a friend who just told me he hasn't a garden. Just grass etc. So I decided to give him some fresh cut flowers to enjoy. What a better way to use my other friend's flowers from her magnificent garden, and pass them on to him.
I do hope you enjoy these.
:: Outside Looking In ::
AFTER CREATING THIS GALLERY NAME I FOUND IT HARD TO FIND IMAGES TO FIT.
NOW I'LL HAVE TO CREATE SOME MORE.
:: Camera fixed at last. ::
Tested the Panasonic G1 but realized I need one lens for everything so a large zoom is a priority for me. I'm not a lens changer at this time. I'll stick with the Canon for the time being.

:: No more camera ::
Today my only digital camera broke a Canon S3 Is and so I am in a dilemma whether to fix it or get another. The lens was jerky when extending when I turn it on and now it won't fully extend. Much thinking to do here. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I love the idea of the Canon G10 with the auto focus tracking of moving objects. That seemed to be one thing that I was missing in my camera. Too many blurry shots unless I was well prepared in advance before taking the picture.
I absolutely love the 12 times zoom. Even more would be better.
The swivel monitor seemed to be the best thing for me since sliced bread. Bad knees. ;-) I could access shots I would normally not try for.
I am not stuck on a Canon. My first digital was a Nikon Cool Pix 950
I also think Sony may be a good make but from I'm not sure where to go.
I see my camera was only 2 years and two months old.
Many thanks for any help.

This year her colors are beyond beautiful.
She would have loved to have seen them.
I would be happy for anyone to let me know the species of trees that I am unfamiliar with.

This year it is so colorful I couldn't resist picking up my camera and taking some quick snaps.

CAN'T WAIT.
:: My Friend ::
SLIDESHOW(my_friend)
MY FRIEND IS LEAVING TODAY. I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR ALMOST 9 YEARS. NEVER HAS HE THOUGHT OR SAID AN UNKIND WORD OF ME. HE HAS BEEN A JOY TO BE WITH. HE LOOKS OLDER THAN HIS YEARS BUT ALWAYS YOUNG AT HEART. EVEN TODAY HE STILL MAKES ME FIRST AND FOREMOST IN HIS LIFE AND SHOWS IT BY GREETING ME WITH A BOUNCE IN HS STEP.
IT WILL BE HARD TO REMEMBER HE HAS GONE. I KNOW I WILL EXPECT TO SEE HIM WHEN I CAUGHT UNAWARE UNTIL I REALIZE HE HAS LEFT. I WILL MISS HIM TERRIBLY, MY FRIEND, MY BUDDY.
BUDDY DEC, 2 1998, (CAME TO JOIN OUR FAMILY ON JAN 30 1999)--DEC 5 2007
Many many thanks to all Buddy's and my pbase friends who have shown such
care and interest in our Buddy pictures.
