Across the Road Again...

…With a new phone…or is it a camera? I don’t know that I NEEDED a new phone, but the camera intrigued me. My new iPhone was delivered a couple of days before Christmas but I waited until then so my son could make sure it was set up right. I haven’t taken time to put the camera through its paces until now. I started exploring it today Across the Road.

I took this while doing chores this morning—two Northern Mockingbirds on a fence wire.

When I finished chores I took Ginny Across the Road. There was finally a day without fog. That’s one reason I haven’t been motivated to get out other than taking care of sheep—the fog has been so cold and drippy.

Today the clouds and filtered sun rays were inspiring.

The new camera can handle flower close-ups.

Dog close-ups too.

These great blue herons were still far away across the canal but I was surprised at how close I could bring them.

Ginny’s ball is just out of the photo on the left.

I wanted to go check out those white dots in the alfalfa field but, although the dirt road was hard packed enough to walk on, the field is far too muddy.

The camera did a good job of bringing the mushrooms closer.

I haven’t seen otters in a long time, but there was one today.
