 Between junky weather and taking lessons to learn how to use my new camera, I'm having to depend on my photo files for a while -- hope you can be patient with me!!  Here are some of my favorite friends at the latest turtle convention! Politics everywhere these days!!

    You make me smile with that "turtles convention"!
    Great reflection of the sun on the soft waves always brings me quietness and peace. Thank you for that!
    I wish you a nice week-end, dearest Sylvia!

    Here's a quick lesson in learning how to use your new camera: Put in on auto, and click away! :-)

    Seriously, though, one of my favorite photogs (kenrockwell.com) notes that today's cameras have terrific computer power and do all the good stuff automatically. You can't go wrong on the Auto setting for most pictures.

    Have fun, whatever you do!

    Turtles - Is that symbol of patience or slowness?
