It’s bad enough that lamb on a menu is still called lamb — should be called something far less cute. But BABY lambs? Ugh! It’s enough to make a girl burst into tears, grab the chef by the collar and say, where is your heart?

On a flight home last year I started reading the manual that came with my Canon SD 790.  This was the first picture I took using the macro setting — impressive!  If your point-and-shoot camera has a little flower icon on it, that’s the macro setting, and it’s great for taking photos of flowers, toy [...]

Really? Is this what this says — on a license plate that supports the arts in California.  Go figure.  If I’m interpreting this incorrectly, please let me know. Would love to be wrong on this.

Got an x-ray at the chiropractor’s office and noticed the term Bucky on the machine. Seems odd, doesn’t it? Or maybe it’s just me…

I’m pleased to report that, tempting as it looked, I did NOT smell, touch, or taste this to determine what it was. Just took a photo of the pretty dots on the sidewalk.
