I stayed with friends in Virginia and on Saturday we took a drive in the country to Middleburg and environs, home of some very wealthy folks, where 800-acre horse farms are common and fox hunting (riding to hounds) is popular. Here are some touristy snaps in the form of a slide show. I was hoping for a better catch, but two things tripped me up: I accidentally set my Canon SX110 to AUTO, which meant that my shooting preferences weren't in effect, including an ISO cap at 200. So a couple of these are at 800 and cropped to boot. I also took quite a few with another camera (Samsung) but when I got home I noticed that the pictures were not very sharp and found a thick smear of grease right in the middle of the lens, so none of those shots were usable. Anyway, here's the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/paswango/Middleburg2009#slideshow The fancy shop near the end of the show is the showroom of Elizabeth Locke, a high-end jewelery maker. Here's her web site, just in case you have any important birthdays or anniversaries coming up. ;-) http://www.elizabethlockejewels.com/ Prices in the M8 range. ;-) -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
