honestly, i think that i've pretty much failed in my assignment to take group shots over the break. i haven't even really used that camera at all. trouble. maybe tomorrow i'll be able to do something before or after work. hopefully. at any rate, what i've been busy with in the mean time has been rather thought-provoking in many facets. the most recent has to do with something that is as historic in my family as the cloth diapers we were wrapped in as babies: idaho. we went for a quick trip to see family while we had a minute. i started thinking today as we were packing up to head back of things that stood out and meant a lot to me. what the significant objects are, if you will. i thought of pictures in the basement, the pool table, a horse-bridle mirror, a record collection, a china cabinet, or mom's bronzed shoes. i thought of a scene that i'd seen hundreds of times that really was an idaho scene to me. i wish that i had thought of all of these in time to take pictures. i didn't. instead, i got two quick shots on the way out. i feel like i've missed something.
anyway, i've babbled for a long time and all i really had to share was a few pieces of idaho and what it is to me. but remember, it's missing a lot. it's not the whole picture.

Happy New year Miss Terri !
takes time to understand the camera. there is always an Auto mode.
i'm coming to realize that as i work with a camera more. i think my problems have been more with procrastination.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too, Rauf! Thanks for stopping by again!
you didn't fail on group pictures.. that group of mailboxes and group of icicles really say "group of people" to me. but maybe that's just me. ah, memories.. it's so hard to sum up in a few pictures or a couple paragraphs. whenever i go to one of my childhood.. places.. i always have a flooding of memories that i can't seem to get out in words, writing, or even complete thoughts. well happy new year to you too.. :D
