ia couple of days ago someone asked if I had taken a picture of the beautiful sky…

I said that I hadn’t but didn’t mention that my camera is in the shop… I have really been missing it… the shutter hadn’t been opening properly for a few weeks and I was having to touch it to get it to open all the way… a couple of days ago it just quit opening…

I talked to someone at the store where I had purchased it and they gave me the name of a repair shop in the city to take it to… they also suggested it might be cheaper to just buy a new camera… I said I didn’t want a new camera because I really like this one…

at the shop, the woman who helped me, said they all say that, lol… they send a quote by email and you can accept or reject it… if you accept it, they go about fixing your camera… not sure what happens when you reject the quote, maybe you get your camera back in bits and pieces… anyway, they are working at fixing it and the price wasn’t at all bad… but I am missing it…

today, as I was leaving home, I got a picture with my phone of the sunflower… I think it now has all the seeds filled in, but don’t know how long it takes to be ready, or maybe it is ready now that it is all filled in…

sunflower this morning…

I ran out to pick up some lunch and going down the lane I spotted a butterfly landing under a car and got a shot of it, not a very good one though… I’m sure the people walking along thought I was a bit nuts…

butterfly downtown…

I am gong to be very happy when I get that camera back…
