I was mentioning to Rick that my little "Point and Shoot" camera was no longer taking photos with the clarity that it used to. I have had one of my cameras repaired/cleaned in the past and it is nearly the cost of a new camera. He kindly offered me his "travel camera" for when I go away this winter. I have started experimenting with it and photos in this blog post are mostly to see how it performs in different conditions.
Later in the day I took these photos of some of the boats who had chosen to sail counter clockwise, coming past my place. Water was even rougher. |
According to an email that came out after the race there were 20knot sustained winds for about 2 hours and gusts up over 25knots. Not for the faint hearted (that's me) |
Checking how it performs with flower closeups. I planted flower seeds in amongst the vegetables this year. I love the Cosmos but didn't realize that they are an Annual. |
The Rose of Sharon are beautiful this year. They must like the hot, wet humid weather. |
Recently, some evenings the back grass hosts a flock of birds all digging in the grass. (This photo was taken through the window as they all fly off when I step outside) |
I think they are young Starlings. The camera takes really clear pictures of their feathers, even through the window. |
Not as many as the Starlings |
but regularly, in the Rose of Sharon..... |
young Baltimore Orioles. |
Still taking photos through the window. |
