I drove on up to the spring where I was working on a pipe line trail.
It’s not really a good time to be digging as the ground has hardened up quite a bit, but it needs to be done.
I got over half of it done before my back started screaming at me and I was a bit hunched over.
Some one had discarded a bunch of bamboo and palm tree stuff off the road above so I had to work my way through that and I made it to here before I had to quit.
I’d had enough exercise for the day so I just rode around looking at stuff and enjoying the day, for the rest of the day.
Spring for a drink
The first place I stopped was at this spring where I got a good drink of much needed water.
I had a nice cup of water before moving on.
I headed down this road.
Mosquito fish
And made it to my pond where I sat for some time watching for the little fish that were in there. The fish seem to be doing their job as I didn’t see any mosquito larva in there which was good, as they are called mosquito fish.
I rode around some more and ended up at my new pool I made a short time ago and spent some time there thinking about what I might want to do to make this better.
My back was still screaming at me, so I worked my way back to my house and went in the house for a nice long nap.
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.
