Pictures on the blog

You may have noticed fewer pictures on the blog the last few days. It really has only been 2 normal posting days, but it seems like a lifetime since I took a decent photo.

I lent my snappy little Sony to SS because it is easy to move data to a computer. I am left here at home using an older Canon digital. The biggest drawback to this camera is that you cannot download photos straight from it to any old computer. You must have the right software before it works. (Thankfully, Canon changed their mode of operation and now it can be done just like regular data transfer)

In Mr. Needles hands, this camera is an artist's canvas. he can do wondrous things with its landscape settings.

and with its macro settings,

while I end up with something that looks like this. Or this (which blogger is making appear not half bad, but really you should see the fuzz at full size. )

If you see photos here that look good over the next few days, he took them. I'll be too busy trying to figure out how to hold still.

Knitting is happening, but not this morning. I have to go in to consult at the office, and then need to pay to some attention to that area formerly known as the garden.
