The Nikon camera is definitely kaput. Back to the Canon. I've also decided to pack the SLR Canon Rebel with the zoom lens.
An errand day, of sorts, as I had to pick up a card reader to be able to download the pictures taken with the Rebel. It seemed as if a lot of the route was into the wind and when it wasn't, there seemed didn't seem to be a whole lot of relief. I was in the mood for taking lots of pictures, but with the wind blowing, colder temps and the sun low in the sky creating quite a bit of glare, it seemed hard to focus on pictures. I did pass an auto salvage yard which always seems to have something new in the yard.
I'm not sure what it is about the salvage yard that appeals to me. It feels as if there is a bit of history lying in all those rusted heaps.
Just past the salvage yard, this quail was lying on the side of the road.
I wasn't in a rush but the ride seemed very long and drawn out; at times I was getting very sleepy and zoning out. Fortunately, I was mostly on quiet country roads so my wandering mind didn't put me in harm's way.
Speaking of wandering mind: A lively back and forth last night with Jane regarding the alphabetical neighborhood that I mentioned yesterday. I think there might be a good story, though, Tom might think otherwise!
