We are headed out of town this weekend too. We are going with the whole Famn Damily, in-laws and all, up to the Lake in Fayyette County. FIL is taking his boat so there is one of 20 and I think I can find a flower along side the lake somewhere too. Brian keep at least one hand on the wheel, and have a safe trip.

Ran across this thread Friday evening, printed out the list and took it with me on a previously planned outing to the Fort Wort Botanical gardens. The gardens got me off to a good start so I wandered around looking for additional items.

Submitting early to:
a) see if I have figured out how to produce and attach the correct style of image
b) see if the EXIF information makes it, looks like Picasa may have removed it
c) benefit from the wisdom of other folks who have done this before

So far I have learned 1) that Picasa appears to remove EXIF data looking at my pictures on the Picasa site and, 2) that I don't know how to get pictures to show up in a forum entry. Someone will need to give me some pointers on how to get the photos to show up under the appropriate text. Thanks.
Update 08/13/07 - Thanks Calvin for giving me a clue on how to post images. Picasa was providing links to pages not images. I need to find a better solution before I do another round with you guys.


1) Texas Flag


2) Classic Truck


3) Cloud and 17) Warehouse


4) Radio bottom right in front of 16) City Limits Sign


5) A bug with 15) Short Antennas


6) Posters


7) Squirrel taking a Relaxing DustBath


9) A boat next to the DQ


10) Flowers with a 14) Tall 20) Statue of a Sunflower in the 11) Park


13) Lookin Out My Back Door at a 8) Hot 100 degrees coming 12) In the Cards


18) Lowest Posted Gas Price I Could Fine, unfortunately I couldn't fill up


19) A Greasy Spoon

Alan when you put the info in for the pic you need to have it
[IMG]....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...RG_4122fxd.jpg....[/IMG]
like this minus the red dots on either end. It should come out like what is below. That is what happens when you remove the red dots.

Good images all. I've been far to busy trying to get kids ready to go back to school to pick up the camera much. I hope this continues as I'll have much more time to play after this week.

I've sent private messages to both ShotInTexas and mjae69. If I haven't heard back from Alan before Friday morning I'm going to let Mel post her for the next hunt.

I am still on the road with limited Internet access until next week. If Mel has a list ready to go, it would be fine with me if he posts his.
