Sold

Technically, under contract.

Catching Up

Major development (for me), a new roof! I hope this will help sell the house.

And a little May flora:

And a new car!

October 2001

We visited Paris in 2001. It was a fast paced trip and we were only in Paris for two days. Two days to see Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Versailles. Phew! Anyway, I spent quite a bit of time this morning looking for my photos from that trip. In the intervening years, I lost the external drive with all of my original files, so all I have are the few that I edited and saved to a CD. My camera at the time was a Sony-F505. A good one for that time but it and my expertise didn't do service to the sights that I saw. I seem to remember the interior of the cathedral was very low-light and no flash allowed (thank goodness - the result of flash would have been awful). I bought a lot of postcards to remember the details, taken by photographers much better than me. 

Anyway, yesterday was a stark reminder that the worst of your fears can happen in an instant. 

Wild weather day

Prepared for high winds.

Infrared Interruption

My old Sony-F707 barely holds a charge and requires rubber bands to keep the IR lenses attached, but if I plan far enough ahead, I can still manage to shoot IR once in a while. Makes me happy.

A Sign

I thought this morning that I needed to see some signs of Sprint - buds on a tree - something. As I was sitting on the deck soaking up some sunshine, I spied this daffodil. Perfect.
