Happy Thanksgiving from the Dismal Land and Livestock Company.

This is what our Thanksgiving morning looked like.

Warning Call

The call went something like this.

Boyd:  I just thought I should warn you before you get home that Buddy is covered in blood.
Me:  What?


Boyd:  It isn't his blood, it's the squirrel's.
Me: What?


Boyd:  Yeah, he was eating it until Jasmine came and stole it and now she is eating what's left.
Me: What?


And, in case the conversation has left you confused, here are some photos to clear things up.

2:8 60 mm Macro

I took these photos with my new macro lens, a gift from my husband.   And I played with some photo editing software.

Holmes Family


A few weeks ago we took some pictures of the Holmes' family.
 Molli wanted some before Kenny left.

 For the most part, things went well.
We took a lot of pictures and got just a few decent ones.
 Oh well!  Whatcha gonna do?

iPhone Wars: Becca's phone









Pelicans, my favorite bird.

Jen made these yummy cupcakes.

A very nice family in the online school left me this treat.


iPhone Wars: Boyd's phone

The other day Boyd showed me the photos on his iPhone, then commented on the differences between what I take pictures of and what he chooses.    So, it isn't so much of a war, but a demonstration of the differences in what we want to remember with photos.

Here's the world in the last couple of weeks from Boyd's point of view.















This is a dirt clod that is so big it got stuck between the duals.  It had to be sledge hammered out.
