I have tried taking some landscape pictures, as well. However, the only one that ever came out well was when I tried to take one of our cherry tree in bloom. I slipped on the wet grass as I clicked the shutter. It came out looking like an impressionist painting.
Aside from scanning Mudcat and occasinally comenting in a thread, my principal hobby is model railroading, HO Scale, paticularly the railroads that were active in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the 1950s and 60s.
A seconday hobby of mine is tracing our family history. So far I have identified three of my paternal great grandparents' birth years and arrivals in the USA, the fourth was born here. Have also traced some of my maternal family and my wife's family, with lesser degrees of success. Robby
