Even though the season of baby showers is only just getting under way, the downtown apartment of my daughter and son-in-law already contains many boxes and drawers full of miniature garments, almost all of them gifts – from co-workers and relatives and long-time friends.
This glowering owl (from Cliff's Variety) will be installed outside the baby's window to discourage pigeons.
For its first day, the new camera did well, even though these pictures were necessarily clicked in relative haste, mostly on auto-focus. With more leisure for adjustments, I can probably bring this little piece of machinery more thoroughly under my will.
