This is at the ferry terminal in Sidney on our way to the Can-Am Model T tour at Anacortes. One of the last photos I used my old Canon Powershot A50. The previous 2 photos were with the S3 IS.


This photo reminds me of the situation at Photo.net. Some of the people have left, joined Flickr and set up what they call a discussion group. They discuss their complaints about the new management at Photo.net. It reads like I imagine an AA meeting might read. These people really are addicts. Pretty incredible.

Ray Fraser the new moderator of the site feed back forum attended and rattled their chain a bit. Mary Ball, the moderator of the Wedding photography forum, attended to try her diplomacy to no avail. Brian Mottershead, the former editor in chief, attended to tell them all that he will be setting up another photography critique site of his own and inviting them to come on over. They pretty well peed in his pocket. Some have deleted their accounts on PN. I saw no appearance by one of the main perpetrators of this debacle, Sly Silvi. Its better than the Soaps on TV. Too bad its not video.

But I have been spending far too much time there. So, today, I went and did some shopping for our upcoming Panama Canal cruise. While at the mall, I found some good deals on bedding and towels. Pat arrived at the mall just about the time I was finished. He did his shopping and we packed it all into the saddle bags on his West Coast Honda. Man, that bike holds a lot of cargo.

We have been having some gorgeous weather.

UPDATE: Nov. 1/06 I have taken out sly silvi's name on the post. It seems my blog is getting hits from porno seekers who have put her name into their engines. ewwwwwww! yach!
