My Camera Got Goosed

This Canada Goose has found its way to the run-off pond across from our house. As long as they stay in the pond and not on our roof, I'll be happy.

I love to play around with textures. I still can't duplicate some of the wonderful merged photos one of my Flickr contacts is able to obtain but I'll keep trying.

Memories of Virginia

We had two couples over for dinner on Saturday night. One couple brought a Tarara Cabernet Sauvignon which we opened to go with Lamb Shanks. I opened up a Glen Manor Sauvignon Blanc, also from Virginia, to go with a pea soup. Both wines were a good match with the food.
