the drive up to Canada

By Cao on 3/15/2010

The drive up to Canada wasn’t without a hitch. First, after switching the time ahead for daylight savings time and realizing I’d lost some valuable time from updating and checking emails on the internet while I was still at Chula Vista in the Dells – I scrambled to get packed and loaded up and [...]

Here’s a pair of mallard ducks. The [...]

Up to 10 inches of snow expected

By Cao on 2/9/2010

It’s been snowing steadily all day today…had a lunch appointment that was cancelled, and tried to get outside to take pictures, but ran out of batteries that were charged. That was a good thing, because tomorrow I have a long journey to Beloit with my dog and son, and hope to get some pictures [...]

I haven’t been as engaged as usual because I’ve been trying to clean up my mac to free up space so that I can go ahead as usual and load pictures and video. Diersen is sending out too many emails, LOL…I can’t keep up with it. Because of the space problem (and how [...]

How to set up the photoplus theme at blogspot (tutorial)

By Cao on 1/20/2010

Being that I work with iPhoto for my photographs, and think that the Apple solutions for photography look incredible, I wanted to set up a blog just for photographs. In essence, images convey messages worth thousands of words…I like to go to that artistic quiet place and create them.
Here is a method I discovered-which is [...]

By Cao on 12/23/2009

This Christmas is a small one in terms of material things for me and my immediate family…there are many of us who are out of work, and so we are gathering at my sister’s house on Christmas day to celebrate with a wonderful meal and fellowship with each other- the birth of Jesus Christ and [...]

Because, you know, THEY WON. And because they want us to just get out of the way.

Looking at ways to put in a photo gallery

By Cao on 8/16/2009

When I go somewhere and take a ton of pictures, it’s a pain in the neck to upload them individually. I need a better way. I was looking at picturesurf…and that looks great, but also imageflow. I’m going to have to figure out SOMETHING, because I’d like to just upload them, write [...]

Pictures of birds from recent visits to the Wildlife Preserve and Nature Center and my own backyard

By Cao on 7/11/2009

It’s great to take a breather now and then and drink in the sights and sounds outside-where there are few sounds but the chirping of birds. This type of venture quiets my soul and allows me to really think without the normal noise and inerruptions. With all that’s going on locally and nationally, I need [...]
