    See it hovering there between the trees?
    Douglas Adams wrote of a hyper-intelligent shade of the colour blue. Coincidence? I think not.

    I spent the last few days trying to get all the fiddly little antennas on, losing them, breaking them, recreating them out of plastic bits... OY!

    So among the stuff I've never gotten around to learning, is colorizing B&W photos in Photoshop. Never had the need at a job where I mainly make charts and technical diagrams. I have some downtime lately, so I skimmed some online courses and gave it a whack. I was never much of a painter, and, well, don't quit my day job. But it's fun...

    This is what happens when I'm sick for a week. I haven't shaved since last Thursday (today is Wednesday, not quite a week later) and I'm looking a little bit ragged.

    Yeah, 30 years ago I spent a month in hospital and was too sick to shave. The night before my release, a friend came by. I said, Well tomorrow morning I'm going to shave off this beard. Without missing a beat she replied, "No don't! It .... hides your face."

    So I kept it for quite a while.

    Actually I trimmed my beard down to Don Johnson stubble month or so ago, and my wife was upset as hell. Seems she likes to play with it. So fuzzy it is!

    My parents had a dog of a similar breed many years ago - they loved it, very family friendly.

    These geese nested in the parking lot at work when it was warm, and we all thought it was spring. Then last Tuesday (3/14), we had 14 inches of snow. I guess she just stayed there on the nest throughout. I took this pic Friday, and as far as I could tell she hadn't moved, except to shift around a little, since the snow. She was sort of encased by the snow.

    20170317_120801.jpg

    She's still there as we speak. The snow around her has finally melted. I'm not confident that the eggs survived the deep freeze, but we'll see.

    Yeah, plant services put up a cone so nobody would park in her spot. :lol:

    There must be a way to shrink them!
    With my phone, when you email a picture, it asks if you want to size it smaller.
    Tho I usually hook the phone up to the PC and download the pic file direct, then resize them in an art program.
