Odds & ends

This is one of my son and family's dogs - the other is a black Pomeranian. Gus just looks SO sad.

I've always been amused by this (scanned) old photo of my youngest daughter visiting with a couple of chipmunks at the edge of Moraine Lake, out past Banff in the Rocky Mountains. I was trying to find a particular photo of this lake to show its beauty and will scan it if/when I find it.

Not my usual kind of photo - but the birding MUST have been slow that day! Actually, I seem to remember that we were by a slough and the shore birds were a long way away. Too far for my camera.

Aaargh! Just accidentally caught a key and lost all my descriptions before I could upload them! Here we go again. Took this photo when visiting my six-year-old Grandson the other evening. He had just been allowed to have a tiny candycane - remaining evidence would have given it away, anyway! Think it must have coloured his teeth, as he has beautiful little white teeth. What I was after was a photo of his very first two missing teeth. Lower bottom front, but I didn't do a very good job. Instead, you can see his inherited (from ME? No way:)) top front gap but barely can you see the two lower gaps. I believe the Tooth Fairy left $2 for each tooth? I don't post photos of children on the Internet for safety reasons - hope all of you read the info posted in at least a couple of Group Pools, saying that some people have been discovering that some photos of children that they posted were found to have been uploaded to porn sites. PLEASE, please think carefully about whether you really want to take this unnecessary risk. I must admit I cringe every single time I see yet another beautiful photo of a child or grandchild in someone's photostream.

Yeah - colour!! Just wanted to wish all of you a very Happy Valentine's Day on Wednesday. For those of you who will be spending it alone, hey, you know now that someone is thinking of you! We are ALL so special and important! Thanks, everyone, for all the kind comments you've made on my photos the last five months - I so appreciate this, especially knowing that it takes time and effort to do so. I'm so glad to have met you all. Take care...

Think I might just delete this photo after all! Now I look at it and the word that comes to mind is "pointless". I just liked the splash of colour when I was actually there - the only colour out in this mountain area.

Taken on yet another dull, winter day!
