Another great Photo

This was emailed to me by my friend Cindy!! I thought I would share this with you as well.

I ask you!! Can you see the baby!! This is so cool! It is called, rather named, 'Baby in a Tree' .. Do you see it? If you can't see the baby in the picture, don't give up. It's really cool when it actually appears. You have to have an open mind. Don't look for a Baby, and you will see the Baby! Once you see it you won't see anything else!!! So I ask you Can you see the Baby?

SO SO ANGRY!!!

I'm so mad right now!! My ditgal Camera is totally broken!! What makes matter worse is right now I can't just go out and buy one. Normally I would. But I have a but load of bills due at the moment. How I found out my camera is broken. I was taking pictures of my duaghter in her armwarmers. That I finally got finshed today. (note I have been knitting them off and on for a year or so) I was taking pictures of her outside. We took maybe two and the thing shut off. So I thought to myself I just need batteries. Go inside to look for some right, wrong don't have any. So then I drive to town and but over price Lithium Batteries. Put them in nothing . Call Kodak they said my camera is broken somewhere on the inside. Which is total crap . I mean IF I HAD DROPPED IT I COULD SEE THAT> BUT I DIDN'T DROP IT!!!! SO I find the receipt bought the thing in October 08 2005. So then Kodak tell me there's only 1 year warranty on the goofy thing. Just great @!!!!! So I mean It has lived a good life and Since 05 I have taken around 4,000 pictures !!
It just sucks because I got a huge shipment of yarn in and I planned on dyeing it and putting it on line in my etsy shop and well now I can't . I can't without Pictures. So I pretty tick off at the moment. I had even planned to release some of my new colorways in the next couple of weeks. Now I can't even do that. Stink bills and cost of living going up. What I need is A VERY EARLY 30Th B-Day present .!!!

Knowing me I will probably buy another Kodak too (eventually) because I have the Kodak All in one printer and the soft ware is already on my computer plus it take great pictures!!!
