I'm in NY

Upstate, where the grapes grow, the cows moo, and the roads are all two-lane and empty. I'm visiting my son Erin, who just bought a house.

I'm trying to get good pictures from my new camera, but it is a challenge. It has an autofocus, which takes some getting used to in that it wants to think about every picture and decide what is important to focus on. I get great pictures of two little bitty people in a background of fuzz, when I didn't care about the people. But, I interrupted it before it had completely made it's decision. Shooting from a moving car, some things are perfect, others are a complete blur. I'm learning to be patient. However, the plus side is the resolution is incredible. I can blow the pics up to 20x20 and the detail is perfect. At about 2.5 MP a shot, My 1 GB flash card is good for 400 pics.

I'm at Hobart and William Smith Colleges writing this. It is a very beautiful school in Geneva. Erin is a chemistry professor here. I'll post some pics when I get home.
