There is a free program of testing for bird flu. I am a memeber of it. The A1 program along with the NPIP. Maybe you in California can check to see if you have it in your state. The people here are more concerned about the free ranging flocks or ones that birds could fly over and drop excrement in the runs. The crows were found to have it at one time. My birds so far are negative. Good luck all.

From what I remember from my NPIP tester class last month, your property isn't considered AI free unless you test every 3 months since wild birds can bring it any time of year. The annual NPIP does do the AI test as well at that time but it is more of a safeguard, not a stamp of cleanliness for the year like other NPIP test.

I get tested every three months. It is free here.

Creamed Spinach with Gruyere Cheese.



My studio. I am shooting tethered to my computer so I make all the adjustments there and don't have to touch the camera even to fire the shot. I am also tethered to my flash off camera which triggers the strobe light in the soft box to go off.



The set up. This contraction is called the McClamp. It holds things still so you can take a picture! I could never get bite shots in focus because I couldn't hole the spoon or fork still! This makes it easy.



We had the creamed spinach for dinner on Parmesan Frico Toasts. It was so good. Michael loved it! Easy dinner.

LOVE this! First of all - creamed spinach - one of my all time favs!!! Then, seeing how you set up the shots - fascinating!
