Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
The first day of this year’s Charleston Kennel Club dog show had some excellent weather for the first time in the 5 years I’ve been going. This year the show was smaller than last year. Not as many people or dogs as there were in past years. Still a lot of fun today.
It looks like for the first time since I’ve been going, there will actually be nice weather for this year’s Charleston Kennel Club dog show! Weather normally isn’t an issue for the regular dogs, but the CSCLRC part of the show has always been outside (at least as long as I’ve been going). The labs don’t never really seem to mind the weather and the handlers just dress appropriately. You don’t really see a lot of the primping and preening with the labs that you see with the other dogs inside.
Weather should be nice today hitting 17°C later this afternoon. The ground hasn’t been turned into a soggy muddy mess from being soaked by rain the previous night. There’s no rain in the forecast for the weekend.
This should be a great weekend for a dog show!
I’m now the owner of a new (to me) Canon EOS Rebel XT.
It’s nice to be shooting an SLR once again. The shallower depth of field (compared with my FZ50) is something I need to remember when setting up shots.The downside is I need to pick up a few CF cards now as well as a reader and new filters.
Now instead of working on the paper I’m supposed to be writing, I’ve been cruising Amazon lusting after lenses and other accessories.
The inaugural SuperHappyDevHouse Charleston meeting went on today with about 15 or so people working on various things. I’m not really much of a programmer, so I mostly went to hang out and see what other people were doing. I also used it as an opportunity to finally get my Galileoscope assembled.
Poe’s Tavern has some of the best burgers in the Charleston area.
