New Cannon 850 Multi-Function Printer/Copier/Scanner In The House


This evening I scanned this reproduction of an old photo Pat bought when we lived on St. Simons:



And after scanning it and spending a half hour with Photo shop doing some clean up and cropping I had THIS image:



(They're really high resolution copies, so click in the first image and enjoy the scratches and speckles, then look at how much of the "noise" I removed...a new copy of Photo Shop is on the way to my house as I write.)

Flying Away For Christmas

Vapor Trails anyone?


I was running through the day's photos this evening after opening Christmas gifts, and I came across this photo of the evidence of the commercial air traffic over our little island about noon today.

The image was shot looking south across St. Andrews Simons (oops) Sound toward Jekyl Island.

We're under the north-south flyway and it's not unusual to see "contrails," but today the atmosphere was such that it seemed to hold the vapor trails in suspended anamation.

I count over two dozen there myself.

Pretty cool...Huh?
