Samsung Focus Windows Phone Upgrade to Mango

20111021-001

OK this is a little off topic for a photography blog but it’s important and at least I took a picture of it!

If you own a Samsun Focus (mine is v1.3) Windows Phone, you need to use the USB cable that came with the phone (it’s labeled Samsung) and not any other cable. I purchased an extra USB cable/charger from AT&T when I got my phone last year and started using that cable for whatever reason. It wouldn’t let Zune software updates go to the phone! But the crazy thing is it let the phone charge.

I highly recommend the Mango update. It took a while but it was worth it.

I don’t have Chinese food all that often. I thought this fortune rang very true!

Fall Photography

The weather the past few days has been ideal for some fall photography. Add in a few burning bushes alongside a maple tree and a blue sky, and it doesn’t get any better than that!

Hiking With A Snake

OK it wasn’t a big snake. Maybe 12 inches long. I suspect it was a garden snake. It was on the path we were walking on.

Early Fall Color at Merrill Creek

I had the opportunity to take a short photo hike at Merrill Creek this past weekend with my oldest daughter.

The park is starting to show some fall color. The area as a whole is still a week or two behind schedule in my opinion.

Rest of the photos can be seen here.

My wife recently finished a picture she did on canvas. She painted it from a photograph so naturally I took a picture of what she did!
