Way Up High

Clown in the Tree. (Updated: 4/23/2012) Just to reassure those worried about kitty stuck in tree:  Clown has been scampering up and down this tree since he was a wee kitten.  The day I took this photo he was being entertained by a very indignant squirrel in this same tree.

Sunrise by IPad

I’ve had a mild case of iPad lust ever since they were announced two years ago.  (Yes, I made fun of the name, just like everyone else.)  However, there was no way I could convince myself that I NEEDED one, and it was far too expensive as a toy.  It didn’t seem fair when my sister showed up with one when she visited in February.

After the announcement of the 2012 iPad, I just happened to check the price of a refurbished basic iPad 2.  Hmmm…. I asked Jack if I could get one for my birthday and Christmas present this year.  He agreed. We ordered it last week, and it arrived from China on Friday.

I absolutely adore it.  Though I think I will stick to my DSLR camera for most photos.
