I've been really under the weather for 5 weeks, now, but today has been slightly better. Perhaps the docs have gotten a fix on the problem.
7-day B&W Challenge: Personally I kind of hate these things, but a good friend challenged me back in August, and I've never before attempted to do the 1-picture-a-day thing (never mind B&W). Quality of pictures aside, I actually learned something from the pursuit, including how difficult it is to be consistently "productive". Anyway, here are the pics.
DAY 1: A half-day, really, as I started the challenge about 2pm. Took some mediocre pics around the house and a series of blurry, mistimed shots of the granddaughter in the pool. This was the best of the lot. At 6 years of age, she has the energy that one can only envy.
