http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/ currently working hard towards *finally* finishing a degree (and at my third college, also my last as far as undergrad goes). working in the lovely public library which can be seen in a series of fotos here. people get annoyed by my shutterbug-ness, but my desire to practicepracticepractice with my camera is compulsive. the time i spend on fotopages is also a compulsion at times!

A lot has been going on and today I'm preparing to move to a new residence! I'm both excited and anxious about these changes. Unfortunately I am not actually purchasing my own home - just renting a room, in case you wondered. I will not have computer access for an indefinite period, which is also unfortunate. http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=202273 Fri, 03 Sep 2004 00:00:00 GMT http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=185914 Sat, 14 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT Like the song lyrics say, the cat came back. I have previously posted fotos of my sister's cat, Shadow. A couple days ago, I was considering a final post in tribute to her. I guess this post is more of a celebration in her honor because she disappeared for 7 whole days and miraculously returned! For some cats this may not be a problem. But, she is 12+ years old and ailing. As I mentioned before, my sister has been giving her fluids with a needle everyday. She just got a checkup at the vet a couple weeks ago and he says thanks to good care, she should live many more months. Well, since she started life as a stray, she enjoys the outdoors. Plus, she prefers going outside to using her litterbox. She went out the door one evening last week and never came home. My sister was concerned and eventually we expected the worst. Since she has kidney disease, perhaps instinct forced her away to die alone. There were many questions and confusion because she does not really act sick, and she had never left for an extended period before. Much rejoicing occured when she was meowing on the front step after one week of absence! She lost some weight, presumably due to dehydration, but otherwise no worse for the wear. :horay: Of course, she won't live forever (unfortunately, none of us do!), but euthanizing her will be easier than not knowing what happened during her final days. http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=184324 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=183469 Wed, 11 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT That title is the Lynne explanation of today's foto theme. Just a couple black and whites I had saved. Tomorrow - back to more flowers! :ty_ty: http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=182622 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT Last weekend I made a visit to my family in western New York state. Here are a few selections from my mom's garden. More to come soon! :-) http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=181530 Mon, 09 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT My uncle took in a pregnant stray cat. She had a litter of three back in April. The kittens are all a bit feral, as is the mom. I could not touch any of them, but they are extra cute - and *fast* as well!! This little one was watching birds from the base of a tree. Her namel is Ila, not sure how to spell it. http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=180595 Sun, 08 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=179973 Sat, 07 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT Here is an old display case located in my division at the library. Inside are music scores and some other art tomes which are also very old (I probably should have looked into just how "old" they are, but I didn't). You will notice the date on the outside of the case is 1909. These items have call numbers on the spines, along with the "R" designation for Reference materials which do not circulate. But they are not cataloged, so very few people even know they exist. I have never seen anyone looking at them, although the case is unlocked and accessible to patrons. I love old books! http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=179163 Fri, 06 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT Here are the external shots of the library where I work. Before I had a car, I rode the bus downtown and walked up the front entrance everyday. Approaching the building just feels good. Now that I drive to work, I park underground in the garage and take an elevator right up to my floor ... a much more dull arrival! The last 3 fotos are leftovers from yesterday - the color version of the 2nd floor staircase. http://lwfoto.fotopages.com/?entry=178221 Thu, 05 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT
