Picasa III

With the massive amounts of photo taking/processing going around here recently, I'm pretty excited about this new version of Google's Picasa software.  You can do photo cropping, tuning, and touchups, and can even have it find photos you have with faces in them, or sort by color. Between the color sorting and the collage feature, I was able to make this nice little piece of Yanks in the UK memorabilia:

If you want a simple but powerful photo processing tool I'd highly recommend it.

Photo Explosion

Well, it’s hard to even see what I’m typing with all of the dust and spiderwebs on this blog, but it’s high time for a post!  The yanks in the UK have been so busy with travel and work, that their UK life has remained sadly undocumented.  Thankfully even if we can’t manage much text I have plenty of photos cued up for viewing.  Here is the fastest summary of 3 months ever:

Budapest: Awesome city with lots of interesting soviet history and amazing thermal baths—3 day weekend there.

Normandy: My friend John and re-enacted the D-Day invasion arriving in Normandy by car ferry from Portsmouth. Gin and Tonics in the piano lounge possibly better conditions that actual Allied troops in WWII.

Camping with our favorite British family in Wales

Week in Novia Scotia, Canada with Lauren’s family in a house on the sea. Bears, moose, and foxes galore.
