I just got a new photo program for my computer. So, I've been experimenting....

Amazing what you can do to a photo. Will have to spend some time sitting here and playing with this program. Fun!


 
I posted a photo of Steve Geon yesterday in Estonia and  he sent me these from St. Petersburg Russia....


 
 
Later we got more interesting clouds in the evening... 7pm:

 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

September 1st
Emma M. Nutt Day celebrates the first woman telephone operator in America.

Emma was hired by Alexander Graham Bell. She is the second from the left:

Emma Nutt became the first woman telephone operator on September 1, 1878. She loved the job, and worked at it for 33 years.
 
This special day celebrates the world of telephone operators. It was a very important job for many decades. Today, the position has been eliminated being replaced by automation in telephone systems. Can you imagine what Emma would think about today's cell phone world!? 
 

A little side note about Emma: According to Emma, she was "very thankful that my first name was not Imma".
