<<<< Here is a lion shot I took at the Sacramento Zoo. I used the GIMP program. So far I am pretty happy with the program – whatz not to be happy about a free program!
The new computer handles the application of the filters well. The processor is suppose to be good for doing video and photo processing and so far it has completed the tasks faster than I think my old on might have.
Another photo I applied the filter process to was the tiger shot below. I uploaded to flickr – if you click on it you will open a new window or tab and you can view it larger at flickr.
If I had a photo of a bear I would post it but the only thing that comes to mind when I see a bear is to run and hide. Are you suppose to run? I know with mountain lions you make yourself appear larger and hope for the best. A mountain bike does come in handy for this and works – trust me on this one.
Jan – catching up on your posts. Wanted to say hello. Loved your backyard photos of the aloe.
I have only been reading your blog for about 3-4 months, so don’t have the history on your perspective concerning bifurcation. Does bifurcation occur for you when a piece of your life is forever changed because of MS?
That seems like as good as a definition as any nowadays. It actually started as sort of a joke. One of my good friends is married to one of the smartest brains I know. He speaks so many languages (English is like his third or forth?), very well published in his field, and is the sweetest guy. I was reading one of his thesis’s – something to do with thermal fluid science, ocean water salinity , and gosh knows what else. Anyways, I got about half way through and for the life of me I so could not remember what the heck bifurcation was LOL.
It was a moment that neither one of them will ever let me forget – embarrassment 101.
When we got back from our visit with them in Mississippi I started this blog. To make fun of myself I used Bifurcate in the title. They got quite a kick out of it. Since ya never know what tangent I will take of with it seemed to fit.
Now MS does have me going two different directions at the same time – just another fork in the road . ..
Thermal fluid science and ocean water salinity! Sounds like good bedtime reading. 🙂
