There's dilemmas. And there's, well, dilemmas. There I was, in the driveway about five hours ago, about to head out on an important errand of mercy. And to my right, there was this amazing sunset. No time to drive to higher ground to shoot it, for the sun was descending rapidly into cloud. So I called for the cavalry (my son) who immediately emerged with my camera. I reversed out of the driveway on my errand, secure in the knowledge that he would take the shot quickly and with a minimum of fuss.

Your SON took this???
That's it, I resign.
Hi Carol,
Aye. He's much better with a camera at 13 than I could ever have been.
Oi, 'ang on a minute. I resign as well. Let him do the photography - we'll head to the pub!
Keep smiling

whattaboy - after your own heart I'm sure! I LOVE sunsets, but then, who doesn't.
You can truly retire (!) with him at the helm!

What a cool photo from Matt! Aren't we just proud of our offspring?

Hi - you kindly answered my cry for help regarding changing the font size in my header. The URL is necronomipod-podcast.blogspot.com. Thanks for your help -
David, I hope this is a good place to leave a comment. I look forward to your help. My email is wingfieldm@hotmail.com and that is the qucikest way to reach me. Thanks so much, Meg
Hi Carol M,
Ah yes, he's echoed your sentiments a few times! Just kidding; he's happy to tinker around with the camera, just like the girls. They're all comfortable using it - and I've never pushed them towards photography.
But they all know that if they want to take a shot, they can just pick up my camera and do it.
Yes, Carol, there's a lot to love about sunsets.
Say hello to Neil and the family.

Hi Cecilia,
Very proud. Make that V E R Y proud, just as you are of your girls.
Hope you're on the mend now. Look after yourself - I'm looking forward to some more terrific pictures on your site.
Keep smiling

That is awesome stuff by your son. I thought of resigning as well but then I had a better idea... maybe he can teach me some stuff when we meet. Tell him thats a great shot please... Siddharth
