Spring is here.jpg

Spring is here.jpg
Happy SPRING, everyone! I wanted a colourful image to post today, in contrast with my main photo, which shows a winter scene that would more accurately describe today, the first day of spring. Taken at the Calgary Zoo on 9 April 2013, I noticed this male Goldeneye swimming on a small pond there, glowing with spring-time colour created by the reflections from the nearby children's climbing frame : ) Looking out of my window this morning, though, one would never guess that today is the first day of spring. The wind is blowing the heavily falling snow horizontally and I suspect that my planned errands for today might not get done after all.

I finally have my new COMPUTER up and running (kind of) after four weeks of total computer stress, complicated by the computer store mess-up, and surgery. Now I am discovering "the good, the bad and the ugly" of Windows 7! Definitely, the"ugly" would apply to the inability to manually rearrange photos in the order you want / need them!!! I am totally amazed and horrified that you can't do this. I searched the Internet and found forums full of endless complaints about this ridiculous issue, many going back to 2010. So, they still haven't changed it, after all this time. I would have thought it would be such a simple thing for Microsoft to change. Every time I want to find a photo, I have to look through many dozens, or more likely many hundreds, of tiny photo icons, trying to find the one photo I need. I would say that being able to arrange photos in the order I (and most photographers, no doubt!) need is one of the most important, necessary functions, so this is not good. If anyone has discovered a way to get round this or has any ideas to make it easier, I would LOVE to hear from you!
