With all the nice days we’ve been having the weeds are growing real fast and big, even the ones I haven’t been watering.
So I got the wheelbarrow out and cut some of these wild radish plants.
More water to the raspberry patch
During one of the breaks I set this timer to put more water on the raspberry patch as some of the plants are looking a bit yellow. I use a number of these type water timers as they are easy to use and just hook up to a faucet and hose and things are good to go.
Load of weeds
I filled up the wheelbarrow a few times for hauling.
I got a good start on it before my back said that’s enough for now. At least I can walk through there now.
Feed for the chickens
I hauled all the weeds over to the chicken pens and put them all inside for them to eat during the times they are locked up.
Enjoyable day
I puttered around the yard for the rest of the day. I did get some blackberry vines cut back in the raspberry patch as they have sharp thorns and aren’t nice to run into when picking raspberries.
That was it for another nice day puttering around the yard.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
