I bought a new camera and lenses earlier this week and needed to practice using the equipment before vacation in three weeks.

As I have said multiple times, I am currently homebound, my term for when I am not on the road in the rv. Other than a few weekend jaunts, I know that I am going to be homebound until August. I love blogging and I can’t possibly maintain this particular blog if I don’t go [...]
