Arrived today


Arrived today, originally uploaded by Campobello Island.

I've been waiting for almost two weeks for my new modern style snowshoes to arrive. Didn't get much of a chance to try them out today it was so cold and windy. I started walking around the golf course but the cold temperature combined with the high wind was just too much. They are nice and light and support me very well on the snow there is several feet on the ground and I was only sinking a few inches. Forecast is for better milder weather for the next few days so hopefully I will have a better chance to use them.

The interesting things that happen on flickr

I have spent quite a bit of time this morning trying to find out why this picture of the 12th Century Octagon Church at Eunate, Spain - Knights Templar- that I took in 2008 has all of a sudden become very popular on flickr. I finally tracked it down to an outfit that calls itself the New Liturgical Movement, which is an oxymoron be cause this new movement is trying to drag the Catholic Church back into the era of the Latin Mass. My photo is so popular because someone posted a link to it is his comment on this article on the movements website.
