Photos from Sunset Beach, NC & microscope photos of some items
Copyright 2007 Jo O'Keefe All Rights Reserved
This was a good catch-up walk after traveling and other tasks. I think that I failed to turn on the microscope lamp for many photos. I had to brighten them significantly, altering their hue. I have begun to identify some photos as "something." This is because I am stretched too thin doing everything from rescuing animals to identifying amphipods. I neither want to bother experts nor become obsessed. |
