Fearsome MaggieSadly, a few days ago my computer was taken out by a nasty virus that I was simply unable to remove.  Eventually I gave up and resorted to the nuclear option.  I wiped the hard drive clean and installed a fresh new operating system.  This became my excuse for finally upgrading from Windows XP.  Vista looked like a turkey right from the get go, so I waited it out and eventually Windows 7 arrived.  And that's where I am now.  It's certainly better looking than XP and has managed not to crash on me so far, so that's nice.  I am majorly annoyed at having to reinstall all my software and drivers from scratch.

Anyway, photography did not stop while I was offline for a few days.  So now we're going to get caught up.

The first shot is my cat Maggie.  I like this photo because it almost makes her look fearsome.  If you know my cat, this is hilarious.  She is both tiny and the world's worst mouser.  Plus, she's almost dog-like in her affections and general neediness.

Sunset at the DQUp next is this gorgeous sunset over the old DQ.  There's not much to say about that.  Sunsets are reliable sources of beauty for photographers.  I almost feel lazy taking a shot like this and posting it.  But it is a great sunset, so deal with it.

I'll be back later today with some more photos to get caught up with.  Now I need to work out just how far behind I am...
