feed the ducks: check

Taking old bread down to the duck pond today made me realize that there are a lot of "Southern" things I haven't done while I've gone to school here. One of the things, of course, was feeding the lovely ducks and geese that never leave campus. Another thing I haven't ever done is to stay around and watch SonRise. I still don't know if that will happen, being that it is the same weekend as MPA's Alumni Weekend. I'm sure as this semester winds down, I will think of more things that should have been part of my experience here, but weren't. Right now, I am doing a "Southern" thing, in that I'm watching a movie off the network!

what a difference a memory card makes!

So now I can actually see what I've taken pictures of. There haven't been many great shots yet, but I'm still learning how to use the camera. The whole AF thing is throwing me off!

so close . . . but not yet

My CompactFlash card is sitting down at the Collegedale post office just waiting to be picked up. Too bad the office is closed. :(

Anyway, here are some pictures from the last two days I was at OMS. They're not great quality, but I'll put them here anyway.

camera: check; memory card: nope

I got my new camera yesterday from NY, but the memory card that comes from a bordering state is still a no-show.

Today was fun. Jaclyn and I went to first service and SS, then made the weirdest lunch ever. Then we got the strange idea to drive up to the Hiawassee River to see the cranes again. We saw a total of 1 crane. :) The cool thing we did see was a pair of ospreys flying around above the river. Tonight, we made pizza and Hollie came over. We spent the rest of the night walking around the mall buying nothing.

Now back to the movie . . .
