Continuing on with the old American road trip shots from 2006 - (pre-digital camera remember!) - we now have left Tombstone and headed north through the wonderful State of Arizona.
During the journey north we happened to stumble upon this place on highway 180 - America's only White Buffalo Ranch! It's geo-tagged about as perfect as I can get it & here's a link also:
www.sacredwhitebuffalo.org/index.html
It's basically a pretty big farm that's a sanctuary to the rare white buffalos - plus they had a donkey, goat and other animals. It's a great visit - sounds lame ass I know - but it was a great place to see during the journey.
This image was taken from their car park, just along the highway and next to their gift shop. Basically, I got out the car and was blown away by the vast open views and their mountains! Shame I didn't have a digital camera, eh :(
Okay breaking news --> this image was NOT done on the iPhone!!! Yup, you hear me right - I know everything lately has been made on this tiny little device that's making up for my lack of a modern computer!! But this was done entirely on my old Mac.
I made it using layers in Photoshop Elements v4 with a free lowres texture i found whilst googling (and yes, version 4 is the newest release I could get for my PPC Mac!). I've never used layers or textures before ......but....... I'm pretty happy with the results! Of course, comments and advice welcome. I must also say a huge thank you to Patty for her help and video tutorials. Cheers Patty :-) :-)
I've a couple more blurry images from this day coming up soon and then we're off to the meteor crater site as we continued on with the 2006 road trip! :-)
Thanks everyone.
This was the first class for many of the young flyers.

There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
I was looking for a meaningful quote to go with this but then I found that one and couldn't not use it! I love the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and it made me chuckle!
I had an early 6.30 start this morning, trying to catch a sunrise again. But found something much better. Thick fog covered the lake so you could barely see anything. I must express this image isn't over processed this is real in camera fog! Vanishing the birds and the horizon line :) was stunning to see. Makes you open your eyes and realise how beautiful this world really is.
Had a few issues with this...
1. I was preparing my camera 10 mins before leaving by deleting old photos when the battery died.. I charged it for 20 mins and it lasted for ages! Canon are fab for their batteries!
2. They had redone the fencing since I'd last been here, making it very hard for short people carrying heavy photography equipment to get over!!
But I've come away feeling creatively satisfied for today!
A happy Rosie :)
I'm the one doing the learning, not Flash. This dog's ability to focus is amazing. Just show him a ball and his eyes will remain fixed on it better and longer than your AF lock function can.
In the police K-9 school, they train police dogs using tennis balls, rewarding them with a game of fetch whenever they complete a task. I don't know how they do it, but these dogs are absolutely obsessed about balls (I've met a few retired police dogs apart from Flash). Whenever I come home, the first thing Flash does is to grab a ball, then run to greet me. When he wakes from his sleep, that is also the very first thing he does - look for his ball. If humans were this easy to satisfy, we'd be a very happy species, don't you think?

The Cathedral of Learning, a Pittsburgh landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Standing at 535 feet (>163 m), the 42-story Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the Western hemisphere and the second tallest university building (fourth tallest educationally-purposed building) in the world. The Cathedral of Learning was commissioned in 1921 and ground was broken in 1926. The first class was held in the building in 1931 and its exterior finished in October 1934, prior to its formal dedication in June, 1937. The Cathedral is a steel frame structure overlaid with Indiana limestone and contains more than 2,000 rooms and windows. The building is often used by the University in photographs, postcards, and other advertisements. (Wikipedia)

Hitting The Books
I love the looks of the local llibrary here in Newark, New York. I'm sure as the days move forward I'll take more pictures of the building.
This time around I grabbed our middle son for the picture. I had him look like he was studying while enjoying some Friday afternoon sun. Who knows, maybe the picture will inspire him to study more. (LOL!)
