Weird Looking Deer
This morning I got up bright and early and headed out to check my cameras. I pulled the film in all 3 and moved one since it took only 5 photo's in a week - 4 of me and 1 of a rabbit. The factory made camera is eating 8 double a's in 5 days so I pulled that camera and put the non-productive camera in it's place. I got my most interesting photo from that camera but I can't afford to run it!
My wife tells me that's something's really wrong with that deer since it's tongue is hanging out. But if you look closely, you can see that it's curled up and I think he's gettin' ready to lick his nose. I really have to get off my butt and set up the home-brew digital, I can't afford getting pic's developed all of the time, especially since I have to drive to Stettler which is 60 miles west of here to get them developed. It would nearly pay for me to bite the bullet and buy a digi game cam, but cripes a decent one is over $500 bones! So here I am, squeaking like 50 year old door hinge that's never been oiled, buying film @ $2.50/roll, developing $5/roll including CD & oh about $60 of gas every trip. Talk about spending a dollar to save a nickel! I'll take the time to post the pic's once I get all of my web space figured out - the site's location is flamingbear.ca It's an old site but I'm going to try to develop a different theme for it. I'm hoping it'll be more news based and a lot more active than my old telus site. I stopped doing the Telus site when I read the TOS - it basically said if I put stuff on the site, they had a claim to copyright! That put a hold on the whole enthusiasm, I sure as hell wasn't going to put a bunch of work into a website and then have Telus be the beneficiaries!
