Thanks, Steve. You’re right about it putting a damper on life. I think I’m finally coming out of it but it feels like I’ve been living in a dense fog ever since we returned from Spain.

Thanks, Suzanne. I’ve been out with it again since this post and am more pleased with it every time I go out. 350 next year? I wonder.

Yup. It’s in the bag. I never doubted it.

Agreed with Suzanne! :)

This could be a piece by the artist in Sebastopol named Patrick Arnot. His whimsical creations are all eye stoppers!

Palo Alto..Very nice location! :)

Glad it is “there” and not here, Scott 😬

You're so close to the 300 bird mark!
Sharing gear among multiple bikes has never worked out well for me either. Eventually I wind up buying that extra pump or toolkit anyway. I just consider it a win if I remember to pack my bike shoes and helmet.

After my initial discouraged reaction, I’m very pleased with it. It’s definitely going to Europe with us next year.

Beautiful shot. I love all the shades of blue the Canon is picking up.

What amazing trees.

You're doing a good job with the new camera in spite of watery eyes! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Whatever it is, it looks like a fantastic climbing tree.

Valley oak.

Redwood!
