I printed it out for Ginny today as a 5X7 and wasn't so impressed. Maybe it's my printer. Andrew is jealous of my blogging friends. But he's not jealous of Ott yet.<BR/><BR/>Love you, my sister!Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-12076565798306293802008-02-13T19:50:00.000-05:002008-02-13T19:50:00.000-05:00ooh la la on the photos with your new friend, Ott....ooh la la on the photos with your new friend, Ott. I still REALLY like the flower picture, I think it was an iris. You didn't say what it was, but you did tell the funny story of watching that dumb Austin Powers movie. We were all crowded into Judy's living room except, I think, for one of our siblings. It's a fond memory though, laughing so hard. I cried a lot on that trip. Dad had seemed to have given up and was intent on dying. I know he feels differently, but I'm glad he's still around. Really pretty picture though, with that post. And I love the cyclamen. Just beautiful. I'm glad you're pleased.<BR/><BR/>Another SisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-72399775765630188042008-02-13T17:32:00.000-05:002008-02-13T17:32:00.000-05:00Oh great, now I need to go get an Ott light, too.Oh great, now I need to go get an Ott light, too.Mental P Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957544840704376193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-81634620573581045062008-02-13T15:43:00.000-05:002008-02-13T15:43:00.000-05:00They really do look so much better!

I'm doing a post about it soon because I thought what I read on the box was interesting.<BR/><BR/>I got my Ott lite on sale at Joanne Fabrics online for $40. Mine is the TrueColorTM Portable 13W Task Lamp. <BR/>Joanne has nicer ones, but last week when I ordered mine, there were only a few on sale. Now they've got a whole slew of them on sale!<BR/><BR/>And really, you just turn it on and move things around underneath and that's all there is to it.<BR/><BR/>Riva Berkowicz (go to her site and read the NYTimes article written about macro photography!) told me that her friends are using theirs as reading lamps as well. They're excellent for reading.<BR/><BR/>Riva's site is at the bottom left of my page, under "Sites I'm Liking Lately".<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone.<BR/><BR/>~C.G.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-24637860132982509442008-02-13T12:00:00.000-05:002008-02-13T12:00:00.000-05:00Very interesting about the ott light.

Maybe the light is named after it's inventor.<BR/><BR/>My husband mentioned that he had heard there was a huge swath of icy weather across the mid-south and east. He says he'd rather have our sub-zero temps than ice.

I am going to learn about an ott light as the pictures are beautiful.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my guess is that there is a bit more (!) to using the ott light than just plugging it in...!!

I'm so glad you posted Riva Berkowitz's site and I saw that folder of ott-light pics, or I never would have thought of using my ott light!<BR/><BR/>These new pics you took are amazing. Hope you enjoy using your ott light as much as I'm enjoying using mine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
