A Walk Around the block

By kaw / 13 years ago

My camera had been broken for so long that I hate to admit it. Oh, it “worked” but was inconvenient to have to do the work-around each time. The result was predictable: I didn’t use it much.

Finally, a month or so ago, I had it fixed and it works like a new one. (It’s a Canon Rebel XSi, in case anyone is interested.) I love it! In fact, I love it so much that I am now lusting over a Canon T4i, but I’m trying to wait until income from internet marketing can support such an expenditure.

Today I went for a walk around the block, camera in hand. Here are the results.

One of the better name signs
in the park.

The sign on the left belongs to Gary and Mary Goetsch, originally from the Bonair area. We were neighbors then and are neighbors now, over half a century later.
