The highlight of my morning.jpg

I finally have my new COMPUTER up and running (kind of) after four weeks of total computer stress, complicated by the computer store mess-up, and surgery. Now I am discovering "the good, the bad and the ugly" of Windows 7! Definitely, the"ugly" would apply to the inability to manually rearrange photos in the order you want / need them!!! I am totally amazed and horrified that you can't do this. I searched the Internet and found forums full of endless complaints about this ridiculous issue, many going back to 2010. So, they still haven't changed it, after all this time. I would have thought it would be such a simple thing for Microsoft to change. Every time I want to find a photo, I have to look through many dozens, or more likely many hundreds, of tiny photo icons, trying to find the one photo I need. I would say that being able to arrange photos in the order I (and most photographers, no doubt!) need is one of the most important, necessary functions, so this is not good. If anyone has discovered a way to get round this or has any ideas to make it easier, I would LOVE to hear from you! THANKS!

Sometimes, when the birds are few and far between, and most definitely very distant, something else is spotted that makes my day : ) This Christmas bauble (?) was lying on the ice along the edge of the Bow River at Pearce Estate on 16 March 2014. Not sure if maybe someone had decorated a little Spruce tree in the park somewhere, or maybe it was there as a result of last June's Alberta Flood of the Century, washed out of someone's basement. Later that morning, though, another highlight of the day came in the form of three Great Horned Owlets and Mom! We had carpooled to nearby downtown, hoping that we might be able to find this beautiful little family and, sure enough, we were in luck. I posted a photo of one of the owlets the other day.
