nature: Thankful Thursdays - I Don't Always Make Smart Decisions.... Ya Think? - 08/13/09 03:21 AM
 
 
I was driving on the Martin Luther King Expressway in Colorado Springs, when I saw that a storm was coming in from the mountains in the west. While it was not yet raining where I was, I could see the rain falling over the mountains. It was gorgeous! So, rocket scientist that I am, I pulled over on the expressway, stood IN FRONT of my car, and shot this photograph, (actually a bunch of photographs). I was too excited about what I was looking at to think about where I was, and how dangerous was my position...I can just … (25 comments)

                                 MS Publisher Crashing on 'Save' Hello all! OK, I give up! I've spent the better part of two evenings trying to figure out why Publisher crashes on 'save'. Every time, without exception. I've been online searching the internet for answers, and while it is obvious others have had this problem, I have come up with ZERO solutions that will work for me.
I'm running XP, have plenty of room on my computer, have tried eliminating the amount of fonts on my computer, (it was one suggestion, and which took HOURS to do), and explored the SP2 for … (10 comments)

Someone posted a quote or a poem by Edgar Guest last week, and I apologize for not remembering who it was (PLEASE feel free to let me know!), and it reminded me that I have a very old, small, red book of verse by the very down to earth Mr. Edgar Guest. I bought the book in an antique store many years ago, because while flipping thru the pages, I ran across this poem. I loved it. I have reprinted it here for you, together with a short bio of Edgar A. Guest.

Get rid of 'Unwanted Stuff' in your photos quickly and easily in Photoshop Ever have a great photo, or at least it would be great if that telephone pole wasn't in the way?

I had to laugh when I read Michael Cole's blog this morning, "Photoshop Is Not A Dirty Word" .    Michael is so very right, not only can you should you use it to enhance your listing photos in subtle ways, as Michael so well demonstrated, but you can also have alot of fun with it.  With Photoshop, you are limited only to your own imagination. Yes, it has quite a learning curve...you could live to be 200 years old and never have learned all you can do - but if you can think of it, it can be done.  And … (17 comments)

I think many of us define success by what we do for a living, what we own, where we vacation, how much money we have in the bank. Ralph Waldo Emerson had a different set of criteria. I like it. Success by: Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, To find the best in others, To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, A garden patch or … (16 comments)

A Not-So-Wordless-Wednesday Peek Into A Scientific Study
On Monday, I was fortunate enough to be the guest of Brian Linkhart, Professor at Colorado College, as he and his students continued their yearly documentation of the "Flammulated Owls". These tiny owls are only about 6 inches tall at maturity, and live deep in the heart of old growth forests from southern Canada to Mexico, where they migrate in the winter. Professor Linkhart has been studying these owls for 28 years, in an effort to learn more about these little known owls of the forest.
Rarely seen, they make their nests in … (26 comments)
