Photography Now & Then #137
Wanting a portable computer for use on the road later this year, I decided to upgrade a laptop I had purchased a while back. Somehow, I made a mistake when originally ordering it and ended up with a machine that was deficit in memory and storage. On the upgrade, I quadrupled both. My main computer use is photo editing. The picture below is after the memory and solid-state drive were swapped out, but before the back cover was installed. The photo was edited using the upgraded laptop and everything seemed to work well.
Now: Upgraded laptop with larger solid-state drive and quadrupled memory from 4 to 16 gig, photo post-processed on laptop after upgrade complete. May 18, 2018 (Pentax K-3 II)

We’ve crossed and visited Colorado numerous times over the years. On our 2015 trip, we ventured into an area quite unlike any we had ever seen. We visited dunes in Idaho – the St. Anthony Dunes – in the 1970s and a few years ago visited White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, but the Colorado dunes are in a category all their own.
Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park has huge dunes reminiscent of the iconic images of the Sahara – but it also has trails to forests, wetlands, and alpine lakes in the Sangre de Crisco mountains.
