Reesie Stalks Her Prey!

Throughout most of my life I have learned and practiced my photography skills in solitude.  However, this year I decided I would join our local photography club, “Wichita Wildlight Photographic Society“.  We meet once a month and enjoy being in a room with people who are there because they have some degree of passion for photography.  It’s a real mixture of people, representative of any group of 50 people you might form from the Walmart crowd.  Anyway, back in October, about 20, or so, of us loaded onto a bus at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center for an excursion into the Special Use area.  The Special Use area is closed to the public and contains well over half of the Refuge itself.  I had never been in this section of the WMWR, so I was excited to go even though 3:00 PM is not the best light to for photographs.

It’s 11:40 PM, on a day of web design that began at 7:30 AM.  I’ve made progress, but there’s still a long way to go.  The most difficult task for me is getting my Gallery, powered by Coppermine, to have the same appearance as my blog, using WordPress.  I don’t want to port Coppermine to a WordPress theme because I don’t like the way the gallery functions, or appears, when doing that.  I primarily want the colors to match.  I’m tired and headed to bed!  Tomorrow is another day!

I’m so sorry to hear Governor Sarah Palin has resigned.  She has been so mistreated by the liberal media, I can’t really blame her.  It’s a shame they un-mercilessly attack and smear good role models while at the same time elevate dysfunctional people like Michael Jackson to iconic levels just because they are entertainers.  It’s a sign of how dysfunctional our society has become.  We seem to lack the ability prioritize our value system.
