Shoot Nine



Portugal was the location and chiming in were Joani, Jim, Milt, Mike Di., Michelle, Peyton, Elaine, and returning to the mix, Tony M!


"Exit Stage Right!"





Still in July, it's the annual New England Camera Club Council Conference at UMASS, Amherst! Here is the young woman whom I featured last week. This week she is posed for a quick exit and in full color. 

Had another photo-filled weekend this year at UMASS Amherst! 
   

Where in the World?


Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be?

By land area it is the 2nd largest country in South America and the 8th largest country in the world.

It shares a land border with 5 countries. 

Its population is over 42 million people (42,610,981) as of July 2013.

Its city of Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world.

The Latin dance and music called the Tango began here.

It has three Nobel Prize recipients in the Sciences, Bernardo Houssay, César Milstein and Luis Leloir.

Cartoonist Quirino Cristiani made and released the world's first two animated feature films in 1917 and 1918.

The national sport is Pato a game played on horseback. It takes aspects from polo and basketball. The word Pato is Spanish for 'duck' as early games used a live duck inside a basket instead of a ball.



Interesting Thought. . .


O Lord, help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

Leaving on a humorous note, I hope!

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, 
doesn't it follow that electricians should be delighted, 
musicians denoted, 
cowboys deranged, 
models deposed, 
tree surgeons debarked, 
and dry cleaners depressed?
