A few pictures

Here's 3 pictures I took in June of '05. The first is a reptile buddy of mine. Then there's a scene of a waterfall in the rain. I'd rather it had been sunny, but unfortunately nature didn't consult me and half way through the hike the heavens opened up and I got SOAKED! The last picture I took while kayaking near sunset.

David, thanks for dropping by Quick Quack, where the party is on 7/24/365, and leaving a comment. Tell me what kind of camera are you using? I have a Nikkormat that is about 35 years old and it is my oldest and best friend. Nice job with the photos keep it up.

Thanks, Jack and Gina. The camera I used in the shots on this site is an Olympus digital camera. The D-550 which is a 3 year old 3 MP model. It's gotten dunked twice while kayaking so it's amazing it still works. This last time it spazzed for 2 weeks before it returned from the 'dead camera' plane. Fortunately both dunkings were in fresh water so it just had to dry out internally.

I love the anole. I had pet anoles while in college, not I'm living in a place where they naturally habitate.

Beautiful photos! I especially like the one of the waterfall. It's absolutely magical. I can imagine lots of fantasy creatures running about hidden behind the trees and waterfall.

Beautiful pictures! I'm especially partial to the anole (frankly, I call them all lizards and I appreciate 'lora' putting a name to in a previous comment).

I agree, Utopia. Lora was awful nice to give that critter its proper name. But she tends to be nice--it's that INFJ thing. Well, maybe not the J part. (sorry, Lora) And thanks Stacey for the compliment. While at the time I took the picture I didn't like all the rain, later I decided that it really added to the affect.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

dogs and cancer

Image
Like the old commercials for Fruit Loops, a Kelloggs' breakfast cereal , would say: "A nose, it always knows". While that commercial was referring to Toucan Sam, I'm just using this as a lead in to talk about how sensitive dog noses are and how they can be used, perhaps, to detect cancer. There have been a number of mentions of this in the media recently. Here's two items from CBC news this year. One story that ran on 60 Minutes and another from the Early Show . Both of these stories refer to a study run by Dr. Bob Gordon of the Scripts Clinic in La Jolla which used urine samples of cancer patients and healthy people to determine how well dogs could detect differences in odor between the two. That study resulted in the conclusion that a trained dog could detect cancer to a degree that was 3 times greater than could be accounted for by mere chance. Pretty good but not great. A much more interesting study has been just released: In the small world of people who tra...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...
