Q is for...

..quibble.

I have been going around with this one for a while.

I thought I had it with a lovely photo taken last year of Quaking Aspens.

Eldest Daughter nixed that, saying 'Lame-o'. She gave me a list of Q words, from quasimodo to quell to quicksand, none of which I could portray with photographs.

But spellcheck kept trying to change one of those Q words to 'quart', which reminded me of a particular Friends episode. The Offspring then thought is would be a good idea for me to imitate Joey doing this:




But I am not so wasteful as that. (Even if I was a little bit tempted...but what a mess it would make...but still the Offspring would be so surprised...but practicality won out.)

Quilt I used last year, quandry, query, quarter, quote, quotidienne, quality... all Q but how does one illustrate these concepts?

Then Lovely StepDaughter sent her Utah photos, where there was this one. Taken by request of Eldest, of Dearest Sister and I with our new cameras.

Here we are, the quintessential photo...of being photographed..while photographing...

No more quibbling, even if hers is the step above mine. Lots of cameras made for wonderful photos, and digital made for immediate gratification.

I wonder if we'll see any changing color on our trip to CO? We'll be there until the 19th or so .... maybe!
Nice photo!

If it makes you feel any better about DS's camera being a step above yours, I think about the only main difference is the ability for "Live View" with hers. To be honest with you this was one of the reasons I got this particular model (to be able to view through the back screen instead of the viewfinder) and I have NEVER even turned this feature on! I guess I should do that ...

I still think you get a better perspective through the view finder.

You two look so cute with your new cameras!
