It was supposed to rain today but so far it was only a very light drizzle as I got it going.
I wanted to get some more strawberry plants for my new planters from my brothers big strawberry patch as there were plenty of extra plants that had come up.
I put on my light rain coat just in case and a hat.
Digging up plants
I walked on over there and easily got a big plastic bag full of plants in short order.
Planting plants
I took the new plants back to my house and started planting as I was in a hurry as the drizzle was starting to pick up and would soon turn to rain.
Hanging pots
These pots each has a plant in from the first planting I did the other day and could use some more plants.
I increased the plants to 4 per container and hung the pots back up.
New planters
This new planter could use some more plants.
Planting
I added enough to double the number of plants so I’ll get lots more berries.
By the time I got to this one the drizzles were starting to get me wet so I hurried along not wanting to get too wet.
Got them planted
I still had one more planter to do and kept at it until it was done and then went in the house to warm up a bit and dry out.
Chickens
As I headed for the house I could see the chickens also retreating to their pens. Chickens can handle some water but don’t like it when the rains pick up.
Cell phone work
I spent the rest of the day working on trying to get my cell phone to phone through my computer’s Wi-Fi but try as I might I just couldn’t make it work.
Living in the hills and having all these big trees around the cell phone signals don’t’ work real well here which is ok because of that, I only use he cell phone when I travel.
So I eventually gave up on that for now and watched an old western movie.
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.
