Well, I've been busy. Spent more time doing photography than any other hobby. Tried to do some wide angle, portrait and learn a little more about Photoshop 4. Got it so better learn how to use it! Janie has been the reluctant victim (when I can convince her) and while they are not all winners, I do think that I have a couple keepers! Of course, my keep to discard ratio is bad but improving. If I could only find another victim ......I mean person to pose! Besides, she never signed any agreement limiting me to what I can do with her pictures .... I think!
N.B. She finally give her approval since she did not know how to get into my blog to change or delete it!
Rainy season continues with some accumulation most every week. Needless to say, everything is green and the grass is growing quickly. Have to make a major trim and cut every two weeks!
Not much done to the house. Broke down and got the AC installed. It was just getting too hot and humid. A couple weeks ago,the humidex went up to 120F. It was nice to come home and turn the AC on.
Chickens are giving eggs. Plants are growing - especially the mangoes and avocadoes. Two trees are laden with fruits - the guava and the june plum. expect to be feasting on those in the next 6-8 weeks. Bananas continue to produce and we usually have a ripe bunch or two every month.
No hurricanes on the horizon (as yet), but they are forecasting that we will have a busy season. So we continue to watch. and wait
I am now fully prepared to take hurricane pictures. I managed to get a digital camera waterproof case for one of the point and shoot cameras. It's good to 100' depth (hopefully that will not get tested) and I can get as high as 500+ pictures (if the batteries hold out).
The world slowdown continues to hit Cayman, and it is affecting us in a strange way. When people have a slowdown at work, they usually move back to the country of origin (if they are not Caymanian). The result is that many jobs are being posted by there are just not enough qualified people to go around. Time will tell how this affects the island!
Bye for now!
