ancestors, family

A cousin of mine has become interested in our family’s history. He recently found these photos of our great grandparents. We think the photos were taken in the 19-teens.

My great grandfather was a physician who went to medical school in England around that time. The photo of his wife looks older.

Video from University of Arizona on a new kind of CPR that does not use mouth to mouth breathing. A friend asked me to post this.

Black Labs Waiting in Truck

 

A pair of black labs wait in the back of a truck for their person to return. When I walked by they didn’t bark, they took note of my presence and went back to the business of waiting.

Apple Blossoms, and My D600 is Back

Apple Blossoms Beginning

 

Apple blossoms are starting to emerge this spring in Prescott, Az.

I got my D600 back from Nikon. It had been recalled, as have all the D600’s. Nikon replaced the shutter mechanism, cleaned the internal parts including the sensor, and adjusted the autofocus. I was not having the oily sensor issue some people had with their D600, my sensor did get dusty often – I live in Az where everything gets dusty. I am happy to have it back, my iPhone camera does a nice job for a phone or a little point and shoot. But nothing takes photos like a quality DSLR with good lenses.

Note to Nikon: Thanks for the repairs. But the camera came back with its configuration set to factory defaults. Yes, this has to be done for testing and service, I get that. It is a pain to have to go through all the menus and set things back where I had them – when I cam remember these were. So how about providing a function to save the configuration data to a file on the memory card, and one to read this back into the camera?
