Summer’s almost here!

The grilling season has been going on for quite some time now, looks like I need to refill the propane tank. Work around the house has kept a steady flow of maintenance chores to keep me busy each weekend. I’ll have to post the before and after shots I took.Jane is still recovering from what we are calling Friendapalouza. We had a rotating set of guests stopping and staying with us. A good time was definately had by all. I got a new camera, its a full frame digital, that has amazing resolution. I’ve been spending whatever miscellaneous time I have had trying to learn to use it well. If you dig into this post, you can see several images from the same master shot.

Here is the full shot…. You gotta click on the picture to see the whole thing, I dont want to fight with WordPress to get it to show well.

Here is the picture, reduced to 20% of its size.

Here is it at 40% of its size, but Im using it as digital zoom for detail….

40% of its size.

And now at full size.

Cropped, but full size.

And I was standing about 3 feet back from it. Whoa!
