Another chance meeting with a great shot


It has been an interesting week. Some stuff at work has weighed heavily, my own choice, of course, but I haven't been able to shake it. It all will resolve one way or the other, but in the meantime, nobody seems to particularly worried. So I guess I can let it go.

And, of course, Mead Labs and CIM continues to chunk along. New stuff to do everyday and all of it has to been done in the next 10 minutes.

Finally today I can pay off Dr. Mead's credit cards for Mead Labs. I'm going to be very glad when Dr. Wiss gets here. He is smart and fun and will bring some sanity to the situation.

Geez, what a whiney post!

Enough of that entertainment for the moment!

Grabbed this pix a couple of weeks ago on the way home from Starbucks. It is great to get back into photography a bit. Will be nice to afford a better camera one of these days, but if I can get this stuff with my little one, well, so be it! After the first of the year, I'm gonna see about about doing some big blow ups of some of these shots.

Finally, we get to open packages on Thursday night! Twill be fun!

Beauty-When it happens, it happens!


Several weeks ago we were out in the Willamette Valley wine tasting with friends. We walked out of one of the wineries and the sunlight was blazing out of the clouds. It was very pretty and I grabbed my little POS digital camera and took a couple of shots, not expecting much.

A couple of days later I download the shot and started playing with it as wallpaper. It was kinda dark and gray. Then I printed it. Geez!

I sat and stared at it for 10 minutes. It was amazing! The combination of camera limitations and printing limitations turned it into something that looked like one of those Chinese landscape paintings.

Go figure, beauty, when you least expect it.
