I just started to try to use a lens ball for photography, and I discovered that there's a HUGE learning curve. I would love to have you share your tips and tricks!

Duke Gardens memories


Unfortunately we need to rely on memories still - the gardens have been closed due to covid. I can't quite understand the logic there, I must admit...

It will be lovely when life returns to normal!

Bad memory!

Several years ago, we came home from a nice evening with friends, parked the car, and went inside. I heard a strange noise outside and YIKES - the car we had just left had burst into flames beside our house.

Fortunately, the fire department is located about a mile away. 


 Here's the car in the daylight the following day. Note that the flames were intense enough to burn a hole in the asphalt driveway... but the house just a couple of feet away was completely undamaged.

Maybe this wasn't such a bad memory after all! The car was a loss, but no one was injured and the house was spared. 

 Thank God!
