dicksbro---What kind of camera;do you use?Many people;take beautiful pictures;but I am always impressed by the contrast&sharpness of yours.We have a nice EVERYDAY camera;
but it is not computer compatable.Eventually;we will have to get another camera so that I can send in some pictures!Threads like this and it's really bothersome.Right now the money is more important;for my autistic grandsons diet!The only way that I can send pictures now;is if my oldest daughter;takes them;with her camera;and I forward them to someones private e-mail addy!
The only thing that I know about photography;is point & shoot!
You really have to be selective;on what your daughter;takes pictures of.Thanks! Irish
P.S.It might not;just be the camera;it might be your skill as a photographer.

It's an older Sony Mavica. Does a good job if the lighting is good. Best resolution, though, is only 640x480.

You mentioned an autistic grandson. My brother-in-laws little boy is autistic, so I do understand. Such a shame. Good news is that he's got good parents that care a great deal.

Roy Rogers had a Downs Syndrome child he adopted and once said, it's amazing the love you gain from helping a special child. I think he was right.

dicksbro---As with anything else;I never thought about autism;until;it touched my family.My youngest daughter;got divorced;and her ex;as far as I'm concerned;doesn't help her enough financially!I don't understand it;because;it's his kid too.
I wanted to kick his ass;but my daughter and wife asked me not
to.It wouldn't prove anything;except to me.I have been arrested
;for aggravated assault;before and the jail time;would be worth the satisfaction.I have a wierd view on life;but I'm not going to
change it now.Everything;in life;has consequesces. Irish
P.S.He was an Army Ranger(Airborne);so it would be a good
challange.He tought hand to hand combat;but that's not street
fighting!

Irish ... keep cool. Focus on that daughter and that little grandson. They, your wife and you are the one's that benefit. It's the former son-in-laws loss. We'll keep you all in our thoughts!

Lil - Thanx!!! Thats the whole reason I moved to Toledo.. I live in a historical district called the Old West End and I just love all the houses!!!

Actually, this is a painting I did, but done from a scene at a place where we went camping once.

Mr Lix had better control that farting better .... you sure he isnt connected to some covert CIA Plot?

I've been told that I could be a tourism agent for Washington state. I believe it is one of the most diverse and beautiful places I've been to. Anyway, I happen to live in the desert part of the state and we are a primarily agricultural area. Here is a pic showing some orchards in the fall.

Lixy, TY. I love to paint but haven't had much time for a long time. Hope to get back to it one day.

Grumble. Nah, nothing covert ... to clumsy for that. Try to sneak into the house and I'll probably trip over shoes ... mine.

Sassy ... those pictures are terrific. Washington is a beautiful state. Been through it a couple of times, but would love to someday come out and really get to explore it. Just tell Mt. Ranier not to erupt

PS ... back to frogs
