Misty Morning
Caught this early in the morning just after sunrise. Even the hard, wing-beating, take-off by a handful of the geese couldn’t break the peacefulness of this pond.
Visit from Dad
My Dad and Pansy (his significant other) visited this past weekend. We had a very good time–mostly eating out in Saratoga and walking around town. One trip down to Troy for some pub grub at Holmes & Watson. That sandwich… I’m telling you… “The Missing Three Quarters” (the name of the sandwich). MMmm, mmm. My mouth is watering just typing this. Score it in the top three favorite sandwiches.
My SD card is jacking around on me. I lost all my photos from this past weekend. Second time it just up and lost its mind. I gave it the benefit of the doubt after the first time. But twice? No way. Memory is too cheap to be shackled with a questionable card. It’s off to Best Buy for a new one. Bigger, too. 512MB wasn’t quite big enough for a few minutes of video and a hundred or two pix from a day-long bike ride.
Why so may pix? Couple hundred? Well, because I snap 3 or 4 every time I take the camera out of my pocket. Usually I’m on the bike, moving at around 18mph. Chances are low I’ll get a properly framed and focused picture. The increased quantity therefore increases my chances of getting a good shot. For example, on a recent century ride I took around 80 or 100 pictures and maybe only posted/saved about a dozen.
One of the shots I lost to the memory card ether was a closeup of a bee on a flower. Sharp as a tack it was. Or at least it seemed in the LCD display (3″ display, so I get a pretty good idea of the photo quality). Another funky closeup of white fern-type plants with a hint of a purple flower in one section. I liked that shot… That one I can maybe reproduce… Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a quick trip to Congress Park and wrangle that shot back into my camera like a cow stubbornly avoiding going back into the barn.
Here’s a shot of the path along the Feeder Dam in Glens Falls.
Hey, or rather… Hay
Hello all. I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet. The little bar graph in the upper right says I haven’t posted in over 30 days. That’s quite a hiatus. Time to start again.
Taken on a recent ride. Near Mechanicville, NY.
