It's funny when they all hatch at once. I had a batch due next weekend. I love waking up in the morning and seeing newbies.
Hatching chicks is the same as making popcorn; pretty much everything goes off at once. Always found it to be a show stopper.
Nice shot. Looks good and flat for a ways off there.
Oh Lawd hab mercy ..

Yep we had this a couple days go with a big thick slice of onion.
We stopped at the produce stand on Friday and they had sweet onions. 10 pounds for $12. The price will go down as the season progresses.
That will be supper one night this week with fried potatoes.

I miss the white beans my friend Jeanne used to make. Haven't seen her much since she moved to West Monroe. She must be 94 or 95 years old now. I love cornbread. Have to say no to the onions since I'm allergic. I can't even smell them without getting sick now. Sad thing is, I used to love them before I started having problems with them. Loved onion rings and caramelized onions. Now even the thought of them makes me slightly nauseous.
Mom had to stop putting them in the paprikash soup she made. Man, I wish she would cook again and make some of that stuff though. I miss her cooking.

I had a chuck wagon in my van in 1995, and guys loved my food, I had pictures of my sterile kitchen health dept inspected of course as was my van. I'd get up at 3 am and make 100 scratch biscuits for breakfas with eggs, coutry fried steak,etc,boiling hot coffee in huge thermos,soft drinks. Then have 25 burgers on the grill and sandwiches for lunch. I had a cooler warmer that kept them steaming hot for hours.I'm very germ conscince and conscientious to so my food was clean [ Howard Hughes wasn't much more germaphobic than me.] I had two windows to serve out of.

Ummm, can you explain your lesson plan? You have them in trees over the water to teach them how to snorkel? I learned by being in the water itself.

LOL< the tres were at the campground on the Atlantic we stayed at close to charter fro divers.That water had lots of barracudas in it that season and the 8 yr old ;youngest 'walked' out into the water about half mile, could barely see her.
.I was screaming for her but she didn't hear me and its hard to run in waste deep water. Scared the heck out of me. That tree was not the one I took switch off to whip her.Hubby had went to store so no help to get her back.

Meer - are you applying some kind of soft-focus/light-blending effect to the photos you are posting? Maybe taking a picture-of-a-picture in a photo album through a sheet of plastic? I'm just wondering, because they are coming through with barely enough detail to make out the larger elements in the pictures, and small details are totally lost.

Good eating there.
Not easily. A scanner might work a little better, but who wants to buy one of those just to post a few pictures on the internet? Plus, a scanned image is never as good as the original. For example, below is a scan of a picture-book photo, I just did on my medium-low range scanner. With some minor enhancements done post-scan to adjust contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc. You can see that even this is not that great of an image. Scanning an actual high quality photograph would be better than this book image (book images are quite low resolution), but it still serves as a good example of what you could expect. IMHO, it's really not that much better than your picture-of-a-picture to justify going the extra cost and extra effort of using a scanner. If you were entering a photo contest? Yes. But posting snapshots on the forum? No, not in my opinion. Not unless there were details in the photo you were posting that you really wanted people to see.You got it ,I'm taking a picture of older pictures. Any other way to do it?
I just didn't know if you realized that your photos were a bit on the blurry/blow-out highlight side of things. Or if you were intentionally applying a soft-focus effect, you were overdoing it a tad.
Here's a scan-of-a-photo-book-picture (which should be pretty close to a scan of an older family photo album picture):
