What a neat idea, Bonnie. I might try it. Never can tell.<BR/><BR/>Ain't it fun, fiddlin', Mage? Step by step. Can't be crowding too much stuff all at once into our overworked brains, eh? I know -- I should speak for myself. (grin)<BR/><BR/>Kate, good luck on getting the laundry dry before the next mizzle. Sometimes that can be a real problem. But I'll keep the coffee hot for you.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-20686008341762824372008-01-15T12:28:00.000-08:002008-01-15T12:28:00.000-08:00Oh I wish I was there to share that cup of coffee with you! Coffee is good when it's mizzling, isn't it? It's been mizzling here for weeks, but the sun finally broke through today. I'm scurrying, trying to get that mound of laundry washed & hung out to dry!Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707246801058979473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-69658681249684511082008-01-15T12:15:00.000-08:002008-01-15T12:15:00.000-08:00I'm still dithering with the Cannon. Yesterday I actually sat down and read the book while trying out the camers. I made my first movie, learned how to delete, and today I'll learn something else. I hope. LOL So far it looks good.Mage And Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-91950524925196274572008-01-15T12:05:00.000-08:002008-01-15T12:05:00.000-08:00Finally we have the drizzle. Hear a cold snap is on the way.<BR/><BR/>I'd invite you to do a Puddle Portrait for my group at Flickr, but of late I can't even get in there.

I do love a good pun. But you are definitely over-optimistic about how much I'm learning. Muddling through, that's what I'm really doing.<BR/><BR/>John, I hope the amaryllis gives you a little psychic boost to offset the dreary rain. That's what they're for, I firmly believe.<BR/><BR/>Oh, Wilma! My heart hurts for you. A broken lens is way serious. To give you an idea of how serious, Coffee Mates, check out Wilma's web site -- if you haven't already. Now *there* is a lady who knows how to use a camera!Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-87756495950371554772008-01-14T21:09:00.000-08:002008-01-14T21:09:00.000-08:00Looks like I can't type tonight. *smile*canadianjadeangehttp://openid.aol.com/canadianjadeangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-61323984002625948212008-01-14T21:08:00.000-08:002008-01-14T21:08:00.000-08:00Sounds like you need somehing I won in an online contest a while back. It'a plastic bag with a very secure zip lock closure that's clear enough to take pictures through. It's meant for peopel who go out in boats, etc. and it even floats. I dropped my camera on the floor last night and broke the lens on the front (it was open). Don't know if I'll be able to get it fixed. Sigh....canadianjadeangehttp://openid.aol.com/canadianjadeangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-60742355548870614602008-01-14T21:00:00.000-08:002008-01-14T21:00:00.000-08:00It's good to see 'our' amarylis again, Dee! The camera looks better and better; my approach to learning the detail is to do it as I need it, when I need it. I miss some shots that way but it saves on brain fatigue.<BR/><BR/>We got the rainy day blues here, too. Or rainy month, more like... :-(<BR/><BR/>John B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-46821594681213674112008-01-14T19:28:00.000-08:002008-01-14T19:28:00.000-08:00Holy macro! You've had the camera, what, 48 hours or a little more, Dee, and you're already mastering all of its intricacies and idiosyncracies? I shutter to think of what this is going to lead to: beware the urge to perfection. When it comes to Dee-tail, don't sweat the small stuff.The Old Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06426667397513875027noreply@blogger.com
