K is for KEEPERS

Kudos to Denise Nesbitt for continuing to maintain this remarKable ABC Wednesday site! Her keen, kind, and sometimes kooky group of assistants will keep on knocking at the virtual doors of your sites to let you know how much we liKe your contributions. Whether you share your knitting, your knife collection, your kidney transplant, or stories about kings, killer bees, kangaroos, or kites, we will be there to give you personal kudos and kisses for your cracKing efforts!

Okay, I have to veer slightly from my theme this week. For the life of me, I could not think of anything related to photography that began with the letter "K." I briefly considered doing a biography on a famous photographer, but I wasn't familiar with any I found whose name began with a "K." So, after conferring with someone who happened to be standing here, I (we) came up with doing a slide show of photos I consider to be "keepers" from over the past year. Be sure to turn up your speakers to enjoy the accompanying music.

    I am so glad Lorne is regaining his strength, and yes, he looks like a keeper to me, too! You are so clever, Leslie, some of these shots are stunning - the sleepy owl is gorgeous.

    Smilebox is a great way to show your KEEPERS.
    I guess I have been living under a rock but I had the impression sometime ago that you and Lorne were't together. Thrilled to see he is regaining his strength and he is your Keeper. He's one handsome guy.

    I think the problem with digital photography is that you end up deleting pics that might not be keepers, but which might have their own charm.

    Keepers is a perfect choice for a photography term! I shoot hundreds of shots and then have to go back and decide on the "keepers"! Great slide show. I enjoyed it a lot.

    Yup! He looks like a keeper -- and what a nice tan. The photos were wonderful. I have a file for each year in which I put my best shots of the year.

    Mrs. Nesbitt had a kidney transplant? Amazing! Thanks for sharing your slides. I love the dahlia. I've never seen one like that before.

    we have a very famous sportsman who couldn't play anymore, because he has kidney disease, a good friend gave him on eof his. Sadly, it didn't last.

    I enjoyed the slide show - wow! I'm impressed with how professional that is!

    My favorite picture is of you and Lorne at the reunion. Very, very excellent picture of both of you! I hope you have that framed!!!

    I noticed you mentioned you used to teach typing. Guess what? SO did I! Heh! But don't tell anyone ....!! I was certified as a business education teacher and that included typing and even shorthand (believe it or not!).

    Take care.

    What a creative, sweet way to show beautiful moments in your life! I loved the owl, the pumpkins, the eagle... I loved everything, in fact!

    And you're wise on keeping him. ;o)

    Kisses from Nydia.
