Squirrel destroying canoe cover

This nice canoe cover lasted one whole year. The squirrels found it this year and are in the process of destroying it, probably to use for their nests nearby.

New construction site on our usual dog walk route.

Distorted Dog

Getting dark & the dog was moving.

On a dog walk

The image on the right has had a little enhancement with iPhoto. See explanation below.

While on the dog walk, at dusk, I took the photo immediately above this text with the iPhone and sent it via the Edge network about 5:30 PM iPhone time. When I got back to my laptop about 6:15 I could see that it was posted here at 5:30 so it just took a minute or so to be live. I am impressed again.

The photo is fuzzy because it was getting dark, but the camera tries to adjust. I could probably clean this up with Photoshop or iPhoto, now that I am back at the laptop. Maybe I will try this to see how much I can improve the quality.

OK, I took a few minutes to download the image from my iPhone to the laptop, spent a minute to adjust the image in iPhoto and then uploaded the new processed image. It is on the right hand side above. The town lights are still fuzzy, but it does look sharper and somewhat better to me. This means that from the field I can shoot and send an image with a little text and when I get back to my laptop I can add more text and improved the image if I have time and feel it is worth the extra time.

Grizzly Bear - Alaskan Malamute

This image was shot a week ago. I am sending it to my moblog via the slower Edge At&T network to find the time difference from sending via WiFi.
The iPhone time as I start to send is- 3:47 PM.

Wow! This post arrived in about 1 minute. The iPhone time is 3:48 PM. I am impressed. It will be interesting to see what happens when I am miles away from Boise.

Proof that the moblog works!

I shot this screen image on my laptop with the iPhone and sent the e-mail - and the moblog was updated within two minutes frm the time I shot the image.
I was connected to a WiFi signal so it will be significantly slower when I am using the AT&T Edge connection with the iPhone. I will try this later today if possible.

We are taking care of this Alaskan Malamute foster dog this week. I
shot this image just a few minutes ago.

Initiating Mobile Blog

Today, I am starting this Mobile Blog in order to send photos from my new iPhone when I am in the field. This is the first post from my desktop, after creating the blog. Next I will try to send a photo from the phone.

Background:
A month ago I started to do this and it did not work. Another Service called iBloggin was available and this worked the first time. I have sent successfully sent several photos to my GOGrimm iBloggin account that are currently viewable.

Yesterday, I was also able to successfully send two photos from my phone to a new Ning network I started called Idaho Outdoor Photography.

How do I use Blogger mobile?

The Blogger Mobile page below that indicates I can learn how to start
mobile blogging is not helpful.

How do I get started when I don't have a token from my iPhone yet?

Is there a web page somewhere that will walk me through the process
of setting up my iPhone so that I can send text and pictures to my blog?

My blog address is:
