Beautiful Union Station in Utica, NY 28 Jul 2012 | 10:28 am

Adirondack Scenic Railroad Photo Fun 28 Jul 2012 | 10:27 am

I customized my photo of the railroad with Corel Paint Shop Pro. I used the “timeline” effects… I think this one was 1960s. I like it. Railroads are so conducive to old-timey effects, wouldn’t you say...

I recently reinstalled the new theme and had the opportunity to view it on a few various computers. The photo, above, is how I see it. On one the other computers, however, the text was much larger and...

There he is. LOL. It’s one of the best photos I’ve ever gotten of the Yorkie. Usually, he’s just a fast-moving blur on the camera screen. WHY do Yorkies have SUCH energy?! And why is it so wasted, lol...
