a quest for pictures

The problem with taking only one major trip a year is that, after each trip I need to re-learn how to download pictures onto my computer.  You would think this would be a straightforward matter and sometimes it is.  But sometimes, like this evening, while I saw the little pictures show up on my computer screen, they have now disappeared.  I'm sorry, but you will just have to believe, at least for another day or so, that I really did go on a chilly but beautiful trip to the snowy north.
