Jackson & Perkins "Hollywood" Rose
Summer 2005
I have a few rose bushes and this one was new last year. It's a good thing a got a picture of it because it died. hahaha

This little horse lives in the mountains of North Carolina.
The neighbor always has horses on his land.

Hummingbird Moth Feeding on Verbena
Summer of 2005
I've got a ton of these from last summer. I love these little creatures.

Blue & Tan Bird
Don't know the name of this bird...if you know, please comment.
Another shot from my new lens. I like this one much better.
This lens is sweet!

Female Cardinal
First shot with my new lens, Canon 70-300mm IS USM
I'm going to love this lens, especially since it has the Image Stabilization feature. I'll be using this lens a lot. Hope to get some better bird shots.
This bird sat on the tree branch for about an hour. Taking a nap, I guess.

Hummingbird Moth feeding on Verbena

This is what's left of Oliver's rubber ducky. He chewed the head off, now he's got his own beak stuck in the middle of it.

Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillars
These 2 were eating my flowers like crazy. I didn't want to kill them so I picked them off and threw them in the woods. BUT, before I did that, I just had to take a picture. The 2 big spots on the front look so much like eyes.

Swallowtail Butterfly - I just love taking photos of them

Can you find the Hummingbird Moth??

They both enjoy the Butterfly Bush

This was a patch of wildflowers at a rest stop in
North Carolina last summer

We love to have hummingbird feeders out in the summer. We watch these little creatures buzz around, dive bomb one another, fight over the food and eat. This is the best shot I got last year. Next summer I'm going to work with a tripod and my new long lens.

Tiger Swallowtail, shot I took last summer

Some more of Oliver taking a shower...
This bird is a trip! His new phrases are "Oliver's getting famous, Oliver's on the internet." Now I just need to get it on video!

I just got an external hard drive! Seagate 160g's

I work on a Dell Inspirion 9100 and the hard drive is a little over 55g. Well... I have quickly filled this drive and was constantly having to burn cd's just to have room to work. (My camera takes rather large files, especially the raw files and adding the digital camcorder files has really pushed it to the limits. I'm sure many of you can relate!)

Anyway... the reason I started this post is that I'm asking for any tips you can give through your experiences using external drives. I know there's bound to be many.

Thanks!! I'll keep you posted in case anyone is looking at the same thing.
