I am listening to The Trio a lot these days. The pure singing takes me to a different, very calm, and centered, place and I need that right now…After The Goldrush – The Trio
I went to a camera repair shop yesterday to see if they could refurbish an old 1950′s Canon Abigail’s grandfather gave her recently. While I was there I asked them to look at my 18-55 lens. It “sounded” wrong to me and I thought everything I was shooting seemed “off”. Damned if I hadn’t broken the gears somehow. How? No idea…but there you go. Into the shop for repairs at a cost of $79. Small Beer as the British say, (Small Beer: “Informal” a person or thing of little importance”) given all that is going on here but still a pain in the rear.
This guy kept trying to pick something out of the water – looked kind of like a bagel to me but I can’t be sure – and wasn’t able to get it…I shot at least 4 attempts he made…

Thanks. Apparently it was good fortune that my lens broke and I had to use my telephoto

I’m glad you can see the positive.

I’ve been lucky so far with my gear. Once I fell, and the only thing that broke was the lens hood. Phew! A person I know fell down, because she was so eager to shoot some waterfall here, and broke her 18-55mm. She was all alone there, nobody knew she’d gone there and she didn’t bring her cell phone (!!!). Seems I’m getting to be more chicken the older I get.
Loved the music … and the gull shots

I am going the other way… Thanks!
