I don’t know if anyone noticed the sunset I have on my blog page. This is a picture I took years ago on a late winter or early spring day (notice lack of leaves). This was taken on one of those old Sony cameras with the floppy disk to store the pictures, and also one of my early attempts at using the camera. I had 3 floppies of sunset pictures, this was one of the last and happened to be the best one. 1024×768 Jpeg file with a size of 110 Kb.
You may ask why I’m explaining all this today. I would ask that if I didn’t already know the answer. So I’ll tell you.
This picture was one of my wife’s favorites. She put it on our computer as the wallpaper (until she took many pictures of her chinchillas). I was happy that she liked my first attempt at digital photography. Anyway I now use this picture on almost everything that needs my personal stamp. I have it on my computer wallpaper, my cell phone wallpaper, I panel on the front of my laptop has this picture and so on. It is one little memory I have of the good times I had with my wife. And it is a picture in our woods that we purchased (a long way around) from my parents. It was my mother’s wish to live in the woods as long as I can remember. When I was in High School, she finally got her wish. So that picture also reminds me of my mother.
So for the two mothers in my life that I have lost, and for all other moms reading … Happy Mother’s Day.
That’s a cool story, J. If you had never said anything about that picture, I would have gone on believing it was a picture that came with the theme.
Ah, the Sony Mavica. I remember this one. I think my boss had one when I worked at Software, Etc.
D, This blog theme is actually one you used for a day or two…. But I don’t change my blog theme around as much as you do… 😉
