I'm just going off topic on the off topic. Note my meters. Someone said we could judge a person and their reputation, even anonymous, by their meters. I wanted to be the first with six. Click_Click had four before me, so I'm just an imitator, but, look now, because I'll get bored with being the village idiot of meters by Monday.  Unfortunatly by 7AM this morning I had tired of making them and when I did the final GIF it changed the background colors. I gave up...

Rolex Daytona 24 hour race this weekend. Observers, safety team, crew, drivers, media and friends who aren't going down for the event, will be having a 24 hour watching party starting on Saturday afternoon and ending on Sunday. Just in case you get Speed TV and are looking for something to watch, mostly I'd say Sunday the last few hours when they do the 20 hour recap of the race and you can see what has happened so far to the finish.

The Rolex 24 is pretty much the All Star Game of motor racing. Teams are made, people who never race against each other and are in completely different types of racing, from around the world, all come together in one place. (OK it's not Le Mans, that's the King of them all) But because of the date and type of cars included, it's probably a broader spectrum of assorted drivers and teams? ALMS and LeMans teams, NASCAR, INDYCAR, GT3, and a variety of other kinds of drivers are competing with each other, once a year.

Got a very nice one today from Pixart. Very nice Lorraine.

My postcards have been here for a few weeks. I hope to send them out in the next days - I've been sick the last two weeks. Sorry

Thanks Reckless!  Not very experienced at that kind of thing so it's fun to finish something. I really enjoyed your musician also!  Mad skills!  Just lovely.

Race, glad your glad I have a twisted sense of humour. Yes!  Show the one you didn't send!

Haha, last year when I started to get cards that had so much thought put into them - I was shamed into writing up a message this year.

2 more cards arrived!

So enjoyed Pixart's nefarious dancers AND her full-of-personality message  - and I'm not just saying that because she's a fellow "Nikon Girl" 

Leaf - Wow, were you in a helicopter/plane when you took that?!

---------------------

reckless - When I saw your post, I checked my account, and - so exciting - I have $5 in VistaCash, and it's good until 1/5/2013. Thank you!

It will come in handy, especially since the MSG Postcard Exchange cards I mailed last night were virtually the last I have of that design.

I finally ordered mine this week! Took advantage of a 50% sale in a local e-store.

My cards are going out today... finally!!

Yes Leaf I was pretty impressed with that, it gives amazing shots!

aha, well, now that you mention it, yes it has .. once, but only because of 'stupidity'

There wasn't a wind and I really wanted a shot (of horses chasing cows) so I was towing the kite behind the car.  I was by myself so I was driving and holding onto the kite through the window in the drivers seat.. I didn't realize that the kite had taken a swoop towards the ground (I had 2 kites attached to the line which probably caused the problems - also a big mistake).. so it crash landed, dragged my 5D MII with a 16-35 f/2.8 lens down the gravel road a bit and eventually into the ditch.  Everything came out fine though .. amazingly enough -   The lens has a very little scratch on the glass but it doesn't show in the images.

HAHA (funny to read but must not be funny to experience).... Amazingly creative hehe, you must get pretty nice shots with that, even tho it's a bit risky

ditto

Oh good, that means I'll be getting a card tomorrow. I saw a nice picture of NY on Valerie's refrigerator when I was visiting. She's running out of magnets. (bought a bag full at an estate sale, problem solved) Also the kite shot was there. Thanks everyone who sent the extra card. Maybe next time I'll do one of hers, or a twofer. Gave her a 590IS for Christmas last year. I loan her my 20D with a 70-200, at the races sometimes, she's my assistant.

Haha! Yet another coincidence, starting to make many!

I loved your card, the effect, the shot and the overall look is breathtaking, great card!!

Thanks, kind of funny, because it's taken with film! LOL I had the Mavica by then, but 640x480 was pretty weak.

At least people will know that when I say something about Valerie it's not my "imaginary friend".
