Spooky was actually outside with me and I sent her in when gray and white boy came down the hill. Wish I knew his name!

The instructor was a professional and gave us specific assignments, then critiqued them, but we spent most of our time working in the darkroom (loads of fun). And, I went to a seminar led by Stephen Kirkpatrick, a nature photographer from Mississippi (he has quite a few books). He was an excellent speaker but I don't recall doing any hands-on work with him. To be honest, I just can't remember. It was a big group and I didn't manage to ask any questions but I took loads of notes!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nat!<BR/><BR/>Thanks. That was definitely a great moment. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-63229052260345623282007-04-15T09:34:00.000-05:002007-04-15T09:34:00.000-05:00Wonderful photos as usual, Nancy!

I was just outside chatting with him; he had one of the neighborhood kitties slightly freaked. Peek at my photo blog at http://toesiespics.blogspot.com/ and you can see another photo of the bird and the two neighborhood cats that came to talk to me and rub fur all over my pants on Thursday. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-76174903312352948972007-04-14T16:46:00.000-05:002007-04-14T16:46:00.000-05:00Nice pictures.

There was also a funny moment, some time that day, when we discovered that Daniel's diaper had slid down one of the legs of those sweatpants. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-3345653859498702182007-04-14T16:08:00.000-05:002007-04-14T16:08:00.000-05:00I love that first picture of your hubby and son on...I love that first picture of your hubby and son on the pier.

I promise you they'd love it. I've got a photo I took of my speech class in college when I was doing a talk on basics of photography for one of my speeches and it is a gem. While explaining how I take a deep breath and let it out slowly to keep from getting too much camera shake, I snapped off a flash picture. Half of the students were leaning forward and all were looking directly at the camera. It made them all jump and then laugh; and, I got the coolest photo!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-6597936516936306452007-04-14T14:14:00.000-05:002007-04-14T14:14:00.000-05:00I love all of these photos, Nancy!
