Wandering

Today was a day for wandering around and trying to get some decent photos. Angela planned out a nice day of driving to Urbana, Ohio to the Robert Rothschild Farm, to pick some fresh raspberries, have a nice lunch, etc.

Unfortunately, the picking turned out to be more work than we had bargained for. Seems the pickings were kind of slim this time of year, and even those you had to find the one’s the beetle’s hadn’t gotten to first!

Still she managed to come away with about three quarter’s pounds worth of raspberries to snack on, so not bad.

The lunch at the Cafe was nice, especially the giant cookie sundae dessert. Good thing we had a lot of walking to burn that sucker off, but man it was good!

After that, it was a short drive to the Cedar Bog, which also happened to be a bit of a disappointment, we had hoped to get some nice photos of wildflowers but they weren’t really all that spectacular. Still, we managed to get a couple of decent captures, so it was worthwhile.

Anyway you look at it, any day spent taking photos and spending time with the wife, is a good day! As always, there are more photos on Angela’s and my Flickr streams.

I’ve also got an interesting story about one of the captures in there, that I’ll share in the next couple of days.

    Hopefully the internet connection will stay afloat here long enough for me to post. It’s been sort of iffy all afternoon. Naturally, I spent the morning doing all the database stuff, saving the afternoon for some internet research and getting virus updates and “online” stuff. Isn’t that always the way? Hopefully it’ll stay afloat while…

    I’ve been meaning to write about my time in Cleveland the past couple of days, but I just never seemed to find the time. On Thursday, had a great time spending the evening at the In The Trenches Cleveland Geek Dinner. It was late, very late, by the time I turned in for the night….

    It’s coming up this Thursday, and I’ll be doing one of the 5 minute presentations. It’ll be an interesting evening, that’s for sure, just to see how folks fit their point into 5 minutes! (20 slides changing every 15 seconds! That’s a challenge!) On top of that, it should be a fun evening of sharing…

  • A random thought

    Just something that occurred to me today when I had someone looking at my Flickr photos. I purposely resize all the photos I put up in my Flickr account, and also in the galleries to be smaller than the original, for a couple of reasons. One, so they load quicker, two, to keep the storage…
