Morning all!!!!

Morning all,late start for me today

Good morning, Linda - you must be the early bird!

Here's an early riser - it's raining so it's a good time to go check out the Street Cam:

Couple more shots of our early cam-star!

Nice light, as the "storm" passes.

Hey John! So you made it to the Sushi and Sake shindig, huh? What did YOU have? I can see that Jake had one of everything!

Divers????

Yep, Rusty, I made it there. Great meal. I had the kimchi chigae (if I remember the spelling). A fun way to wind up the day of seminars, and a nice prelude to the film festival that night. Of course after all that exposure to dive stuff it's no fun being stuck in front of a computer. Sort of a mild PBD syndrome. Maybe it's time to break open the piggy bank (acceptable now that pig day is past) and see whether Bonaire could be in my future. Looks like the Black Durgon might fit my budget and still leave me enough for film. Anyone have any feedback on staying there?

Sounds like an adventure meal - I would have had a hard time figuring out what to eat! We provincials out here in Western Mass! LOL

Hope everyone is feeling fine today!!!

Ooh - sunshine-y yellow! Like buttercups and scrambled eggs!

ok Rusty whazup widat!!!

Wow Freddie that was SOME gif! Also Loved the one Rusty put on yesterday.

Which one was that, Linda?

A visitor at the gate, briefly:

It was from sunday and think it deserves a encore
posting!

Sorry guys - not a BTer - just Renee and her truck.

k, I forgot to delete that one,sorry about that,hate when that happens!
Now--------------

Got one signing in

Maybe I should look up?

Good Afternoon,

Let's see if I can upload myself;

You trying to upload yourself to Bonaire, Kevin?? If you can get that to work we'll ALL be right behind you!



Who is our visitor with the semaphor?

Holy Cow! I'm huge !!

Now let's see if I can include a few friends

I duped myself - well DUH!

great shot kevin...although are you wearing cat ears on your head?

Here are a couple people from earlier - I was saving but not posting - got caught out following a search string!

Who R U?

It's the new BATMAN scuba mask and ears. Very cool! Do you remember where you were when you took that shot?

LOVE your friends, bet they're stubborn, tho!

No they're not cat ears, and it's not a BATMASK.. Thank you very much..

I didn't catch the coral formation behind me. I had to look at it for a minute to see what you're talking about. The mask is color correcting and it works great.

I think it was South Bay off of Klein.

The more I look at it the funnier it is.
All my photo files are 400 to 500k I really have to crop them to upload them. Any suggestions??

If you can set your jpg compression - you might want to raise the compression and tho it will lower the quality of the pix somewhat you can usually find a happy medium. Also be sure you're saving your web images at 72 dpi. Anything over that is wasted. Also, find a size that works - like 450 x 340 or whatever - and stays below 50k - and the rest of your images should work, too.

try saving as a web format first, that some times makes it small enough a file. I hate resizing and losing the right dimensions

sorry kevin, now you will always be batman to me

The images are put onto the disk from the local COSTCO photo development. It included a copy of CANON Photo Effects software which I am using to crop and color correct. Let me try one more

ALL RIGHT !!!!!!!!! WHOOOO WHOOO!

How about that shot!!!

I took that at Rock Pile

Great shot Kevin!

Thank You!!

I got lots more. just wait until I bring in the rest of my photos.

Here's another one for you

WOW Kevin...that last one is absolutely gorgeous....

Ooh - look at the Blue Chromis! I love them!

I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your pix, Kevin!

Holy Chromis, Batman, er, I mean, Kevin! Nice shots. I thought your monarch butterfly fins were pretty cool too. Gotta love a guy who doesn't mind making a fashin statement, LOL.

Hey, did you BTers notice the gal at the gate doing a cheer for us???? Check out the 12:04 through 12:14 sequence. Rah, Rah, Rah!

uh, make that "fashion." The keyboard is faster than the brain today.

Hey Kevin, Thought you said you didn't wear a mask when you went diving? I love the one you have on and the batears are great. It's kinda like when you have your picture taken in front of the Washington Monument and find it's growing out of your head (I did that to Jim once)

Hi everyone, finally got back from work. Some great captures today. The cheerleader looks familar. Wonder who it is?

Linda's going to have to tiptoe out and sneak a look at the guest book and let us know... I did wonder what all the arm waving was about.

I recognize WhoRU! It's Ken at 8:14 - 8:18 am and then he brought his wife Lisa at 11:24 - 11:26 am. We met last year. Hi, you two. Be careful in Jamaica on the way home... :-)

Thanks Niki! What a small world, huh?

Anybody else think the semaphores are Lea?

Wow! I think everybody I hoped I'd see is here. Or just about. Hey, Cynde Lee. Hi, Hazel, my almost-sis. Rusty..I can finally steal those gifs, thank you. Nik, I'm glad to see you..Saw your neat trick with D. Could you give me a brain transplant? Ellen, Dara, if you're out there, Hi from the sugar bush, where the maple sap is running. UFO's? Is that where I've been?

kerri mango....yeah....give your girls a big hug don't let their feet get cold in the snow...glad you got mac up and running

don't think it is lea, Linda...who was that gal? now if she would have been wearing a purple hat we would have known for sure!

Kerri Mango! I feel a bit like a tangerine myself! It's way fun to illustrate your thoughts these days - come play along with us!!

Cynde Lee, Big hugs to your babies. And Michael,too. Thanks for making sure I got back to my friends. Rusty, I've just gotta figure out how to put my animations on this page, like you and Cynde do. Look at all the great stuff I could steal from you when I do. Relax, Jake and Linda. It'll be like the day Cynde and I learned to write in colour (which my mac and your stuff won't let me do anymore) Just a couple of hours of going nuts with gifs and jpegs oughta do it.Hmmm.Pretty Please........

Just like posting a cam picture... Use this and then browse to your animation:

oh yes kerri mango...the colors were a big hit!

Salut, Kerri Mango! Ça va?

This brain's a permanent installation, and requires alot of maintenance, by the way. Could you wait 'til your next life?

Hey Cecil! Kerri's back!! Woo Hoo! First Niki, then Kerri! We're gonna have to buy a whole case of purple hats!! Now then, who else is missing? Where are Domenica and Alan B?

You are all a sight for sore eyes and hearts. I hope this is not going to be the wrong size, but here goes:

You are all a sight for sore eyes and hearts. I hope this is not going to be the wrong size, but here goes:

That would be very cool. Welcome back to the insanity. Who know's in a few days we'll have the reef cam back up and Andy too. He should be wandering back from the flesh pots of SE Asia and regaling us with his diving tales but we'll know better.

Keri, nice job. Hopefully that mac will have a better memory than the old puter.

Ooops...A bit large? I know I had the measurements somewhere. But, I flunked pixels etc. in layout in my Journalism classes. Or would have if not for charity, and an old printer/prof who never thought women could do that stuff anyhow. Haze...I think I know where there's a purple hat, if I find it, I'll bring it here. OMG, I finally did it!!!Hope I remember what I did right tomorrow. Thank you Rusty, Nik, Haze, Cynde and our ever-kind (or sleeping) mods who let us stretch our wings.

Hey, Kerri,

Mac does it in colors!! Just follow the Formatting instructions below!!

Oh, Cecil...Nice to see you! MMM. The computer may remember, but I can't make another image download. Maybe later. It's \image{title of gif or whatever} right? \image {desktop HeartsBowVgif} Ooops apparently NOT

Hi Glen. I'll check formatting. thanks. Does it work even if Mac and I don't speak Linus? I hope...

errr...that would be linux!

You are all a sight for sore eyes and hearts. I hope this is not going to be the wrong size, but here goes:

Kerri - ya dun good! Just keep the FILE size under 50K or 50,000 and you can post away!

Thanks, Rusty. Well here goes nuttin. Okay...You know who you are...This is for you.... \purple hat{gif} oops

kerri keep trying!

Kerri,

Nothing to do with Linus--don't need a blanket!! :–) Just use the Formatting things. Look at the formatting examples carefully--casually added spaces and things mess up results. Computers are very exacting!! No imagination at all.

Kerri is fighting that computer again. She wanted me to let you all know she'll answer as soon as she wins.

Poor Kerri... In your honor I'm going to make PURPLE right before your very eyes. Thank goodness I opened the formatting tips in a second window so I can stare at it while I try this.

PURPLE _KAZOWIE!

Did it work?

Testing on a Mac for Kerri



& Don_Q

Hello Kerri, Have you allready won the battle??

test...........Hold thumbs, Linda. (Or should I say,' Follow the yellow brick road..Follow etc. etc.'.....YAYYYYYYY. No offence to the GREAT OZ(Jake) But it does appear my computer prefers the Good Witch (G)linda.....

Hi Martin. Thank you, Barbara. Good Catch, Rusty...Hmmm, should I push my luck?.............. oops.. Sorry, Linda. I was trying for cookies and pink roses for your Thank You.......
