Photo Du Jour

 

1. One of my fondest dreams is to swim with dolphins {when Dawn was little, my FIRST expense when I “won the lottery” would be to take her to the northwest coast of Australia, and swim with the wild dolphins} - thank you for a wonderful picture and story, Skipper!

5. Lyndon, the evidence is in my latest post. I have provided pictures for all of you “doubting thomases”.

6. So, Skipper, Inquiring Minds Want To Know. What’s BMEWS’ Official Camera?

7. NOW I see why the Cap’n was testy today (Friday) and published his phish photos.
   “‘Ghoti’ smells ‘fish’.”

   I suspect that the capacity to play is restricted to mammals. Birds seem a serious, sober and focused sort.

8. Used to watch the dolphins or porpoise (I can never tell the difference) ride the bow wave of my tin-cans. I think I have pics somewhere of three of them doing that. I need to find some way of scanning slides.

9. No, OCM, I haven’t tried that. I was thinking of something that I could use on my own scanner.

   I took literally hundreds of pics while I was in the Navy. Everything from Polaris submarine missile launches to the NATO chaplain dangling below a helicopter as he was being lifted off or our ship.

   I suppose I should dig through the pile and find the ones that I really want and see what it’ll cost to have them scanned to a file. I’d still rather do it on my own gear, though.

10. Thanks for the link, OCM. That last pic is a beauty.

    I’m reasonably sure that one of the brochures that came with this scanner said that there was an attachment available to enable slide scanning. Damned if I can find one, though.
