The people in the field from the picture yesterday were just planting trees.
(I got out my telescope for a closer look!)
So, that's not a bad thing; it just means that we probably won't be seeing crops ever again...
Believe me, I do know when to not complain -- it could definitely be more ominous!

Now that the shock of not having my 717 is wearing off I do miss it a little more.
But, it's an interesting exercise, I suppose.
I'd like to think we could all pick up any camera and still have our style come through. Having to use a different camera has kind of
made me pay more attention to what I'm doing again -- looking for the overall picture.
Plus, I realize I was getting a little burned out.
Perhaps this separation is not all bad -- a stormcloud, perhaps,
and this is the silver lining?
