I know I’m really late today, but wanted Ma to see the post with the picture of Randy and I knew she didn’t see it yesterday.

Worked from home today and had a fairly quiet day. Got some laundry done in between general stuff as well as a load of dishes run through the dishwasher. Multi-tasking is great!

Ken called a little bit ago and said he had to work an hour over. That means it will be 8:00 before he gets home and I have to go to the grocery store so he doesn’t have to stop on his way in. I have no idea what to fix for dinner, so guess I need to hit up some of the food blogs I’ve run across lately and see if they have anything that sounds appealing.

I downloaded photos from the camera today — had several days worth of shots on it, so it was past time to do that. My flower photos came out all blurry – guess I was too close to the flowers — one of these days I’ll learn how to take them correctly. I do have one or two of birds and deer. Tried to catch a squirrel in the trees out back, but never could get him in the viewfinder — guess he was camera shy. This little fawn was almost at the front porch when I snuck out to snap this one. Can you see his horn buds? There were about 8 deer in the yard counting this guy. I managed to get a photo of 7 of them in a group, but never could squeeze in that 8th one. I had thoughts of Santa’s crew for a caption…. for the photo contest at BMW. Ken has entered me in it and I’ll have to choose a photo soon.

Had the white balance setting off on some of the first ones I took, but got a really cool effect with that — at least I think it’s kind of cool — you tell me what you think — cool or "boy did YOU screw that one up" Here’s one with the white balance set to "cloudy"

While it’s certainly more natural in appearance, it’s just a picture of some cute Carolina Wrens. I don’t know — maybe I just need new glasses.

Anyway, last but not least is this one I took of Payne in the camper as we were waiting for it to be time to go up to the show building. I’ve never gotten a good show photo of her — her hair is always doing something funky, but she looked so pretty standing there all posed and looking like the show dog she is. The only thing bad about these kinds of photos is they show how pretty the dog is but not a lot about their personalities. Payne is such a clown, but you would never know it to look at this picture, now would you?

Well, I reckon I had best close this out and go to the grocery store. Dogs will be wanting fed here soon.

Love to all,

Margaret
