I went for coffee yesterday morning at the Starbuck's drive through. It's out at Interstate 29, so for a city of 23,000 plus and or minus, it's quite a drive ... that would be 6 minutes in peak traffic at 6:00 AM, with a total of 12 cars at the light. When I pulled up to the intersection of Highways 212 and 81, where the Magic Mile begins and my Dad had "Carroll's Texaco", the sun had just started peeking through the clouds. It had rained a bit earlier so everything looked freshly bathed. The sky was gorgeous. I looked up to my left and noticed "Cowboy One" tipping his hat at the sun. She's a girl in my world. skyley.blogspot.com

Laurie - I'm leaning towards the Nikon Cool Pix L18 - I did research today on all the recommendations from friends (both "local" friends, and blogger friends) and I believe the one you suggested is the best overall value... plus it got great online reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you again!! :-)
Expect new photos soon!
So that's not a real person, I assume? (Nice pic no matter what!)
ReplyDeleteThe CowGIRL has good taste in beautiful skies.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice "tipping his hat" silhouette and sky photo. Wunderful idea for SWF.
