wintertime intermission....

that's what jennifer called my time here in florida

and 

i pretty much love that

~

not a vacation. not time away. not a reprieve.

"a wintertime intermission"

~ 

so here's the big question of the day

"does he or does he not eat the washed up jellyfish"

BUT WAIT

don't go to google. just take a guess.

thank you everyone for the debate/discussion regarding watermarking. it was a good one. 

there are so many opinions to what's right or wrong. what's good about it. what's bad about it. 

why do it. why forget about it.

at this point, i'm still a bit conflicted. the biggest reason being the need to save my photos twice. 

one set with watermarking and one set without. i'm wondering if those of you who only share low resolution photos, also save a copy in high resolution for yourselves.

oh the woes of protecting ourselves. darn you thieves. darn you.

(and no, i didn't have a photo of mine stolen and used in a gallery. thank god. that was just a "what if" question of something i thought would be really horrible)

you'll thank me later...

seriously

i'm at the beach

but i know after yesterday's photos and now even more woodsy pictures today

you're starting to question me

but i promise

that once the sand and sea and jelly fish photos start showing up

and

i inundate you with more beach photos then any human should ever have to look at

you'll thank me

that i have a backyard full of pine needles and mushrooms

ps...in the past few days, i have read on a number of blogs, the importance for watermarking your photos. that there really are people out there stealing what belongs to us. what's your opinion. what do you think about watermarking. how would you feel if someone in, let's say san francisco, stole one of your photos, called it his, printed it and framed it for a gallery in his hometown.

slightly easier....

remember the recent post about the squirrels and how sneaky they were

~

well

i think these floridian birds are starting to take notes

~

gosh they were fast

proud to be part of the pack...

even with the 5 foot high snow drifts

everywhere

it's rather green here in wisconsin today

and

unless you live under a rock

you know why
