With a bit of rain last night the forest was nice and damp and lush. I had some work to do up there on a water pipe line I’m reworking the trail on.
After feeding the chickens I got some tools together and headed on up into the hills to his spot where I was working on the trail up behind the quad runner. That’s where our water pipes come down to our water tanks from springs up higher in the hills.
Trail work
This is one of the trails I cleaned up a bit going through some nice lush big ferns eh.
And I worked on this part too. I just work away and before I know it, it’s getting dark and the day is almost over.
I headed on down by our water tanks on the way home.
Chickens let me know
When I arrived home the chickens where waiting at this gate as it was past time to let them out into this area to graze and they were letting me know it was time to open the gate.
I opened the gate and they all took off to do their thing looking for goodies to eat.
I did notice when I got off the quad runner I could barely move. That means I worked these old muscles a bit today and will be a bit sore for awhile. Living in a forest helps to keep me young or is it just wearing me out. :O)
It doesn’t matter it was a real nice day puttering up in the forest.
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.
