Technological Marvels and Me


Western Baja Mexico, 2011.

A quiet morning was followed by a peaceful few hours by the bay.  I allowed stickiness with my old, much repaired camera to discourage me.  Lens not closing and one lever sticking left me beyond gloomy till bedtime.  I didn’t drop it this time, so perhaps it’s all leftover stuff from that last disaster.

The day was gorgeous and sunny.  I read and G read while the world purred by us out on the bay.  It looked as if half the boat owners in town came down to the water to play.  I got a few good shots of a crowded harbor mouth, but they didn’t want to download to my computer.  In this case, it was the computer.  G suggested that some folks are technically smooth and others are technically rough.  I appear to be in the rough sandpaper stage getting rockier by the minute.

  1. Your digital karma must have been undergoing an adjustment. Better soon, I hope.

    There is nothing more frustrating than a poorly camera.

  3. You are too funny. Rough sandpaper indeed. Got a good photo of my knee and your glove compartment. Dianne

    PS thanks for the WW stuff. Still stuck in my plateau, but back to basics this week.

  4. I spent the day traveling to Pine Valley and Alpine and then digging in the dirt. Such fun!

  5. I'm a real stop and go type of computer person. Some times it purrs along, and other times it drives me crazy. This is a gorgeous photo, Mage!

  7. Mage, there are just some days when the damn technology loses its mind -- and we're not far behind.

    The Baja shot is beautiful!

    And I can't imagine any day in SD being awful!
