More photos!

When I looked more carefully at our old camera last week, I realized that it had a full roll of film in it. So I dropped the roll off for processing yesterday and received the CD of images today. I find it kind of curious that we were using the old camera because the photos are time-stamped from 2002, after we had the digital camera.

Some of the pictures are of us in front of the house on a snowy day in January (so young!). Most are of a vacation to Santa Barbara in March 2002. I couldn't have told you when that trip was, as we went to Santa Barbara together several times, but I remember that vacation well because it was the only time we spent much time at the zoo.

The anti-climax of the roll are two photos of people's feet at a bash at our house in April of that year. Kind of a pity the camera wasn't tilted up a bit so that you could actually see who the people are, but the unfortunate angle reminds me how nice it is to be able to see instantly how a photo turned out on a digital camera.

Long before pain from treatment, cancer, or her hip, Sandy
sought out opportunities to lie flat on the ground. This isn't
the best picture in terms of photographic quality or style,
but it captures that vacation - and Sandy - very well.

I have many things to say here, but I'm up against a deadline on a work project, so all my musings will have to wait for other days. For now, I leave you with a photo of Sandy, resting. We were in Santa Barbara, coasting around all day to the bird sanctuary and the zoo and a few other places on the beach cruiser bikes that were free for guests' use at the place we always stayed.
