...but thankfully my son-in-law is, and... ...fortunately there's no law that says I can't enjoy his flowers. That is what I was doing today while Bob helped Alison adjust the new gate she designed and constructed to keep the Mabel and Cooper from dashing down the driveway, barking at people that walk past the house. When …

Better luck next time…I hope!
I tried, with moderate success, to get sharp pictures of some dragonflies on my recent visit to Penitentiary Glen Reservation. There were dragons galore, constantly on the move, swooping over the pond, and flitting from place to place, always lighting some place new, only to lift off when I turned my lens toward them. They …

I didn't get a picture of either, so I changed to Plan B and instead of butterflies, I began photographing dragonflies, damselflies, and birds. Click on the gallery …
One more week to go
For the past three weeks I've been on a self-imposed break from my regular trail walks so I can take an online course in photoshop for photographers.
