I'm just starting to get over it Set #1

So, It was the end of June and My wife and I were camping at the hot springs in Idaho. I was planning on a week of taking pictures and having a lot of fun. Well it was a early in the morning of what was promising to be a very beautiful day. The river had a mist coming up from it and the sun was working as a great backlight to it. It was a perfect day for shooting. Well I shot over 400 images and had some fun shots. Well it was a fun week and I came back home and looked through the images and had some great ones. Well I got busy color correcting them and then life interrupted the process and weddings and family shoots took priority. Two months later after having to move images around to different hard drives I went looking and couldn't find that day of shooting. I got a recovery program and ran t on the last known hard drive where I thought that they were stored. I was only able to recover the thumbnails but at least I got them. The next few posts I am going to post these so that it will drive home to you the need to have double backup and to make sure you really do a backup. Here are the first ones.

A Huge crop or at least a HUGE potato

So we dug our four short rows of potatoes and got a shock when we dug two large potatoes from one mound, and then got about four more in the net couple of rows. I can only wish I knew what was different for those two rows. We ended up getting four half full bags from the four rows, they were only half full because they were too heavy when full.

We had a great range of sizes from the quarter inch size to the 5 to 6 inch size.


This will make it a little easier to tell how big it was and how small our littlest one was.
