Summer joy

Last night, I was busy backing-up the last few months' worth of photos to an external hard drive and picked out several archived photos that I hadn't yet posted. This Gaillardia was one of them, taken on 27 July 2010 in Bragg Creek Provincial Park or West Bragg Creek, west of Calgary.

Yesterday, after my volunteer shift, I called in at a shopping centre to see if a small computer store was still in existence. A number of years ago, they did such a good job of transferring all the data from one computer to a new one for me. The time to go through all this has again rolled around and I was hoping so much that the same store would be there. I was so relieved to find it and now have to face the nerve-wracking time of getting used to a new machine (with Windows 7, not 8!). My new computer is still in its box (since late December), waiting for the day when I finally get myself sufficiently organized to bring it out, and that day is almost here. Really, really hoping it won't be too difficult to set up and then work out how to use it. Guessing it will be maybe three days or so that I will be without a computer, so when I suddenly "disappear", you will know the reason : )
