Monday Morning Post

Today was pretty much a no-walk day: I was waiting around for a package delivery, because I just hated the idea of rescheduling and waiting yet another day. Of course the delivery came at 4:47 PM … figures! Still, it did mean I got some house cleaning done, and of course I had practicing to do as well.

It also meant I forgot to post any photo this morning. Funny how staying home meant I neglected that. (Not that I have to post something every morning … right?!) Over on G+ it’s #MonochromeMonday, so I guess I’ll post something in … ta-da! … monochrome.

Pelican on the Pond

Yesterday we went for a little drive and had a visit with some friends. Oh, and we also met up with some human friends! We had great fun with both sets of friends

Dan has a new lens so I used the 100-400mm his new lens replaces. It’s huge. It’s awkward and, as he told me today, I’ll get a lot of bad photos. Indeed I can verify that as I look at all the shots from yesterday. I’m not sure I’ll come away with even one that I truly like, but this will at least show you some of our “friends”.

Of course I won’t give up on everything I shot yesterday: I’ve learned to be slow in deleting things, as my eyes see differently as I gain some distance.
