Lovely dog! 

It is quite amazing what Picasa2 can do. The normal comment is usually ... for the prize...This is one of the most useless comments. If it won't do what I want it to do then it is useless to me even if it was free. Well Picasa is free and it does a hell of a lot of things I need it to do - plus more as in the photo below. I love it because it does what my "serious applications" won't do - find photos, email photos and blog photos in a user friendly way 

Another one 

This was done with the new close up lens for the Panasonic LC1. The manual focus works extremely well with the "bad" viewfinder of the LC1. It is certainly easier to focus than with the 5D. 

Noosa beach at sunset - full action! 

Max in action 

Same foggy morning 

The fog was pretty dense and the sun came only through at about 9am at Lake Cootharaba
 

You can see the sun rays almost every morning unless the air is really clear.
