Another day in Pleasantville, which started in the morning with two live football (or for the uneducated ~ that would be soccer) games from Scotland, followed by an afternoon of moving one cord of firewood across the lot, for winter storage under some trees. In between times I got to practise with the new camera courtesy of some visitors …
I was out early
this morning for a beach wander and sit on My Rock.
On m my way there,
I stopped to take a couple of photos of the LaHave River, then onto the islands
to try out the new camera at some familiar locations, but in what I hoped would
be different light conditions.
During my rock
sitting, I had the pleasant company of Seagull Buddy. He sat not too far from
me for as long as I was there, like me I am sure he was enjoying the solitary
view and calmness of the sea around us.

I have probably taken many thousands of photos. Some have
been borderline good, others are OK, while a few have been awful, I have yet to
take my best photo. Perhaps that will never happen, but it is fun trying ….
Below are some pics from this week’s outings with the K-70,
they are from around the empire, the beach, the rocks and the islands.
