December moon,
Birds, Beeves, and Trees,
The Dodge again . . .

Last week on a trip to visit my husband’s parents I was able to photograph the old Dodge again. I also captured birds, beeves, trees and the moon in between our visits and family celebrations.

A cow blocked my way at the gate. She was so close I was afraid to turn my back on her horns to latch the gate. But she quickly lost interest in me.

I loved photographing the trees, so different from our trees at home.

I captured several images of the Dodge, like this one at sunset.

A few autumn leaves still clung to the trees at the river.

At the nearest point to earth in its orbit, the full moon appeared larger than any this year.

I liked the sky’s color at sunset the night before the full moon.

That’s all!

Trying a new plugin for wordpress. Picturesurf, a gallery plugin. If this works well for me I might replace my old porfolio with picturesurf galleries on pages of this blog.

I’ve been using zenphoto gallery software for my web portfolio for several months and upgraded to the latest version at the same time I upgraded my wordpress software for this blog. (See previous post) Apparently my FTP client upgrade was bad and my uploads were missing critical files.

I think I have all my wordpress blog issues sorted out, but the upgrade of zenphoto for my portfolio still isn’t working correctly. I liked the simplicity of the zenphoto galleries and am sorry I’ve broken mine. With limited time this month to spend trying to fix my zenphoto installation, I’ve decided to test some other options for photo galleries.

I’ve tried coppermine. It’s gallery design is too busy and would require much of my time customizing to get the simple look I desire. Still, I see what others have done with coppermine and might consider it.

Anyone have suggestions for simple and clean design gallery software?

This is a test post. The storm photo is from a trip through South Park in late July this year. The trip was as stormy as last night’s wordpress upgrade to version 2.6.5.

I’m having problems with the visual editor and the file uploading tool. At first, the upload tool didn’t show up at all so I found the missing files and uploaded those. Now I can upload, but can’t check what I’ve done with the visual editor, can only see and write in the html editor.

The dark eyed juncos are eating seeds from my feeders this morning. This one sits on the fence while swallowing a piece of cracked corn.

The woodpecker tried the feeder, too, but saw me watching and flew to an aspen.

Mountain Mahogany again. I can’t stay away from it in autumn when the feathery seeds catch the light.

Last weekend’s show: As the week before, it was the baby foxes that brought the most smiles and questions. I was happy to see that other images were noticed and taken home to hang or gift, too. Thanks to CNN and all the Holiday Boutique volunteers and shoppers for another good show.
