More Garden 2018 and AT&T

I guess I'll do AT&T first. My wife's employee perks expired and I was faced with the need to modernize service. We resisted Uverse for a long time but I spoke to someone named Robin in Dallas and she convinced me that would be the best option for what I wanted. She made a good deal for me and I have to admire her sales ability. The set up was painless and I'm pleased with the way everything is working. It was easy to connect my other computer, which used to be on a cable modem, to the new modem via a wireless NetGear device using downloaded software.  Dropping the cable modem service left me with a monthly phone bill a couple of bucks higher than what we used to have with my wife's retiree perks, but the service is MUCH better. After complaining in the past, I feel a need to restore the balance by describing something that went well.

And now for more garden. Those sunflowers again.





In the next batch of pics you will note other things. It is not all sunflowers.




These pics are a mix of Canon SX100 and Nikon D200. With the Nikon I am using the usual lens, a stabilized zoom auto-focus. Not exactly wide angle but I really don't like wide-angle. I prefer to focus in.
 Remember, there are no mistakes. Only happy accidents. For this wisdom I am indebted to BOB ROSS! 



In fact, I need to start using Adobe Photoshop, so I can extract more from those happy accidents.




There will be more of this next time. I hope to get more new stuff this weekend. I will start using Photoshop in the near future.
