I need to get some mechanicing done on my van but it was overcast and I just couldn’t get into it. Being overcast and cool I thought something heat generating should be a good project so I got the tools out and dug up some more of the raspberry plants from here to move to the raspberry patch across the yard.
Digging up
I only had a few plants here to dig up so I did.
And I dug the rest of the plants out of this spot and got them ready to transport to the other site.
Chickens snuck in
While I was working in there a couple chickens snuck in so I opened things up so they all could get some nice greens and so I let them at it.
Raspberry patch
I moved the berry plants to the raspberry patch here and started planting the vines.
I got most of the vines planted but still had a few to plant somewhere else when I get a change as now I was beat and had done enough work. I didn’t plan to work in here all day but it turned out it took that long to get the plants in the ground with a lot of breaks included of course.
Raspberry patch planting done
So now there’s a lot more berry vines in the patch hopefully to grow more berries this summer.
I was hoping to get a dirt bike ride in before the day’s end but it cooled down before I got it done so I went on in and that was my day working in the garden.
Nice day, I got a bit of exercise and will soon have a lot of berries in several months. Yummy.
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.
