Just back from the Big(ger) CityTM… Well, assuming a half-hour ago counts as “just back.” I had to take the ‘Zuki over to the Suzuki store at 0800 this morning for her 3,000 mile check-up and to get that oh-so-expensive piece of plastic replaced. She looks like a sweet young thing once again, now that she’s had cosmetic surgery and a transfusion of fresh oil. I hope to keep her that way…
Lost my ‘net connection sometime last evening (after I went to bed) and it was still out when I left this morning. Thus, there was no surfing and no posting this morning. I’ve yet to make the rounds, but figured I'd put up today’s pic and a short blurb before I do. I may be back later. And I may not.
Today’s Pic: And an explanation. First the pic…a long telephoto “grip and grin” shot of granddaughter Monique receiving her diploma. This may be the only such pic in existence, although I did notice a professional photographer strategically placed during the ceremony.
You’ve been quite kind, Gentle Reader, in not pressing the point about graduation pics. The reason I haven’t posted any is simple: there aren’t any others besides this one. When I said things were hectic at SN1’s house on graduation day I was probably understating the case. There wasn’t time…or time wasn’t made…for cap ‘n’ gown pics. People got right to work.
And now you know the rest of the story…
That is actually a pretty good photo. Often in those quick, long distant shots things go wrong - someone steps in the shot or center of attention is just too far away to be a "good photo". I only took a few at the graduation we went to and those photos were not too good. And you are right, everyone is just too busy even without the moveing and packing.
ReplyDeleteSo, did SN1's move go smoothly?
Thanks for the compliment, Lou. If there's one shortcoming about the current camera, it's the telephoto capability. Mediocre, at best.
ReplyDeleteSN1's move went as smoothly as a move can go. They got a late start and had to rent a small trailer to get ALL the stuff moved. But... adversity was overcome and the family is safe and still unpacking in South Carolina.
That is really not a bad pic at all. I've seen worse. I've taken worse. LOL!
