Well, after a few days of down time, I have revamped this site.
My photo galleries have been changed so I have a little more control over content, size and use.
Autumn has finally arrived in North Alabama, so as the colours begin to change, I hope to get out and take some interesting photographs….
We recently returned from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where we sat for a few days in the clouds… On one afternoon, we were able to get out in an abbreviated photo safari.
I will be putting some of the pictures up in my gallery later today!
Cheers for now!

In 2001, when Circuit City was getting out of the appliance part of their business, we bought an Amana side-by-side refrigerator… It worked well for the first year or so, but after the 3rd year, we began to have problems…
Now, here we are in 2007 and the thing was irreparably broken… A wire, somewhere in the back wall of the fridge was broken. Now, the repairman said it could be made to work once again, but it would open him up to lawsuits.
The refrigerator was an Amana ars 2364ac. I Googled it, and found that we weren’t the only ones to have this problem… I still have fridges that are over 20 years old… They may not be terrible energy efficient, but they used to be built to last! These companies need to think of the consumer, rather than the bottom line!
The scary thing is, is that Maytag Corporation, which bought Amana a few years ago, also owns Whirlpool, KitchenAid, et al… Be careful when shopping for your new appliances… You may get exactly what you don’t want. DO YOUR RESEARCH! Remember, Caveat Emptor…..

Traveling always has its’ pitfalls, like the dread of negotiating your way 
through airport security…
This is my first time back in the U.K. in 5 years. My husband and daughter have each been here 3 times since my last visit!
But, now that I am back into photography, is see many things here with a much different eye… I see the sky and the moodiness of the cloud and richness of the blues! When I return home, I am going to give a detailed travelogue of our trip and I will also work on the photographs that I took and upload them to my gallery.
I noted everything in the Moleskin Notebook that my daughter gave me for Christmas!
More …. Soon!
