Your way of walking and observing Prescott is so refreshing - I found myself talking a walk with some out-of-towners this weekend downtown and noticed some little vignettes I had never seen before. I told my friend about the way you document the little tableaux (sp?) that make up our community and she was fascinated.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I had an inquiry from some people who live in another part of the country and who are interested in moving here. They asked me to hook them up with some people who might help them decide if this should be their next home.<BR/><BR/>The way we decided to do it is for me to post their original inquiry on Loosely Speaking, and then to see if other Prescottonians chime in there. <BR/><BR/>I think your input would be particularly appreciated by them. Stop by if you wish.

On the other hand, I was always surprised to discover that in Phoenix, city of 115 degree summers, there were so few cool basements, especially in houses built prior to AC.<BR/><BR/>Steve, I always welcome a companion as I mosey along.<BR/><BR/>Ms. QD, the scene is lovely, but have <I>you</I> figured out how to get in/out of that fancy swing??? As for the camera, be warned -- those bells and whistles have bells and whistles. Plenty of learning to do! And a 2nd warning -- I have to hype almost all my pictures in Photoshop, mainly tweaking the contrast higher to make the photos pop on the web. I find that pix straight from the camera tend to be somewhat flat.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-85423898798295864272007-06-06T13:25:00.000-07:002007-06-06T13:25:00.000-07:00Oh, that picture of the chair in the shade is just...Oh, that picture of the chair in the shade is just beautiful! I wish I was there instead of in an office chair in an office building. <BR/><BR/>Finally bought the Canon after a lot of research on it and others. Most convincing though was the clarity of your photos.quilteddogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810124179760201886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-4973755337400944472007-06-06T10:21:00.000-07:002007-06-06T10:21:00.000-07:00A nice walk, thanks for taking me around.A nice walk, thanks for taking me around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-67975556033004273092007-06-06T01:19:00.000-07:002007-06-06T01:19:00.000-07:00Seeing the cellar reminds me of one of my many gru...Seeing the cellar reminds me of one of my many grumpy old man's whinges, viz how's come those who reside in the tornado belt do not have cellars, even mini ones, to leap into when the alerts are posted.<BR/><BR/>HermanoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
