I got the info on the rss feed yesterday, and am going to try to get that up and running in a week or so. Thanks for everyone’s help.
The center of our town is a little circle, with the historic courthouse buildings being in the center enclosed by the brick wall as I mentioned yesterday. There are various businesses on the outer part of the circle, and the local county museum. Most of the businesses are real estate or lawyers’ offices. This one particularly charming little office I just had to shoot. It looks almost like a little shack. I took this shot using my used 24mm lens that can be a bit quirky most days, and usually doesn’t even work with my newer camera. So there I am, in the middle of town, on an unusually busy mid-afternoon, practically lying down on the sidewalk shooting today’s shot. Then I came back and did it one more time. The good news is, I think the local business owners are beginning to get used to me.
Might be time to get a scanner meant just for what I need it for. I think I’ll go looking for something in the used department this weekend. Can’t be worse than what I’ve got now. Have a great weekend everyone! Do lots of shooting.

This is so quaint and so pretty. There is a little architects office a ways away from me that I pass occaisonally that is similar to this. It looks like it cannot be more than one room. It's the smallest building of that sort I have ever seen. It is very old and I really should find out the history of it. Maybe I'll go see this weekend.
ahhh flowers. what a lovely home. Nice shot.
Love how the angle of sidewalk balances the angle of the porch roof line and frames up those brilliant new flowers. Good luck in your scanner quest!
Ohhh, Suby Likey, love the angle of the shot, the colours are soo vivid. Love the plants bottom left, add to the image. I am glage you use f22. Blurring the background would have been a sin :)
Very colorful photo, like the perspective here!
Great distortion effect. Was this acheived through the lens? The house looks lovely.
Nice mood here, Micki. I like the perspective.
Very stylish. Brilliant color. Kodak moment.
Beautiful image! That sky is wonderful. I like the dark tone near the top (done during processing?).
Charming business community, great colour. I used to have a 24mm Sigma
with my Minolta 7000i and 9xi, it is a good lens.
Lovely shot, the colors are really vivid. Well done Micki!
Well done! Great yellow of the flowers :)
Interesting viewpoint, I must get down on my knees more often :-)
I love the yellow with a dash of red on the porch, but the angle of the sidewalk in framing the picture is wonderful.
This is simply beautiful, you live in such a nice place! :)
I really like the angle on this one:)
Great shot. Looks like you've got a polarizor. Perfect sky colors.
Regards,
Jason

Micki, I grew up in a small town of 5,000 and it is now booming at around 5,500. This photo is so typical of smalltown life. Simple but rich. I love this.
