I haven't gotten out lately to take pics to add to my beauty of blog, so I'll just throw in some archive junk from my 'pics' file. This is just a quickie video I took to send to my friend Chris, when I was testing our new webcam.  Don't get me wrong, I don't consider this 'beauty', it's just for fun and sharing.

Ha ha, I make too much of it.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;By the way, in case you haven't heard the expression, the hamster spinning on his wheel implies my brain running fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great blog name popped into my head and so I checked to see if it was taken and voila!&lt;br /&gt;I need to put this blog name to good purpose, so I plan to use it as a platform to post photography.  I have always loved photography and now I have a dedicated website to a wee little hobby.  Got myself our first digital camera last year, day after Thanksgiving, so here we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;For my first pic on this blog, I chose this sunrise picture of '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Foxxy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;' our Arabian-Paint mare.  Shot with Sony &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Cyber&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;-shot Carl &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Zeiss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; lens 7.2 mega pixels.  Nice inexpensive handy little digital cam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, just in case you are wondering why beauty of blog popped into my noggin, my daughter was hovering over me while I was preparing for an entirely different post on my &lt;a href="http://falconsays.blogspot.com/"&gt;Falcon Says blog&lt;/a&gt; and she said, "huh?  Why are you looking up that?"  I let her know, it was something I saw on 'Intervention' last night on t.v. and I wanted to blog about it.  I added, "That's the beauty of blogging.  You write about whatever you want."  aha!  Beauty of blogging was/is available too, but I am a stickler for less is more.  My way just sounds better, ha ha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713372678152398202-2724422214399568443?l=beautyofblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beautyofblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/and-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karen S.Falcon)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BMFcmdFoCqs/SIUIssW1tgI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/n0E_ZsgrFMQ/s72-c/foxxy.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
