Arrrgh! And superarrrgh!!
Just when I was getting ready to do today’s post — which was going to be about how I spent a fascinating half hour right near dusk watching a family of eastern kingbirds feeding one hungry chick — my photo program crashed. AGAIN!
This is definitely not a good sign, since I recently upgraded my computer. Maxed out the memory, in fact. I can’t go any bigger. All the slots are filled. And I’m pretty certain the problem here is too many photos for the computer to handle happily. I’ll be calling tech support first thing tomorrow a.m., that’s for sure. Maybe a reboot is all that’s necessary?
Well, since I can’t post the kingbird pictures I was planning to do tonight, I’ve put up a close-up of one of the mallard ducklings at Ashbridge’s Bay earlier this week. Why? First of all, because this little guy is so darned cute! And secondly — and ultimately, in the case of a massive computer failure like I’m just experiencing, because I had already scrunched this image for the web, and I didn’t have t o rely on my photo program. (iPhoto ^$*&^!!!**^?+&#!!)
Ditto with the picture of the chicory blooming in profusion along one of the paths at the park — as promised in an earlier post. Already processed for the web, so up it goes.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some serious trouble-shooting to do.
