And Sometimes

… the best camera is the one you are carrying. In this case it wasn’t either of my Canons.

When I saw this tree I just had to stop and play around a bit, despite not carrying my cameras on this particular neighborhood walk. I’m going to guess people who saw me thought I was a bit nuts, but I suppose people think that whenever they see me!

Looking Through January 2016

I’m nearing the end of January 2016 photos. I started with December 2016 and thought I’d move backwards but, alas, I was distracted:  I went to January to look for some photos of some friends and so much for my backwards plan. Funny how that goes.

I found this shot at the end and it makes me smile. It also made me look up whether I should use an apostrophe with O when making it plural. I thought not, but it looked so wrong without it. Turns out, according to what I read, I can go either way: it’s actually not necessary (and some will hate it), but to distinguish it from Os as in the operating system or the symbol for osmium I read that it is sometimes used. Please correct me if I’m mistaken because I don’t like to get things like this wrong!
