The colorful bark of a nearby pine tree.
I'm not taking time to respond to comments right at the moment, so please bear with me. I am reading all of your comments, of course (and thanks for all the info and advice!), and appreciate them. I got the den cleaned up yesterday and the old computer is moved to a different room. It's set up and running in case I need it, but it's out of the way for now.
Walt... I noticed yesterday that Dabs.com in the UK are advertising a "Three Terrabyte" usb drive for £89 [140$]... that should complete your system?
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when a one gigglybite disc cost £1 [1.60$ approx]... it wasn't all that long ago really!!
Loved this photo Walt.....nature at its best.
ReplyDeleteBark, Hmmm. How do you make a cat bark.
ReplyDeleteBathe him in petrol and light a match - Whooolf.
Apologies to Bertie and my dear wife Sue who is a cat lover. Please don't tell her Walt.
"The cat's just gone out..." "Well, put more fuel on and re-light it..."
DeleteSame old joke... different twist... there is a book of cartoons around... "101 uses for a dead cat"...
Thanks to Judy for the link to your student's blog. I have bookmarked it and I'll dive in later today.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, she just put up a new post :) You might enjoy a few that she wrote in October (2012) about Alençon sights, and traveling nearby during Toussaint vacation days :)

Wow, incredible bark photo.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your computer!
Once the temp gets below 20, it doesn't matter if it dips a few more degrees!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another brilliant bit of photography. Such skill and such an eye!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece of bark. I've never heard of or seen a pine tree with red coloring.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the name of that tree?
I've been playing with my new company computer - and it isn't working and neither can I.
