The rain stopped about 6 pm last night and we enjoyed a very nice warm evening reading outside until about 8:30pm then a good nights sleep.Got my first walkabout at 7:30 this morning down the lane and heading east over the hill, a nice change of scenery.
I have noticed lately that my camera is not taking very sharpe pictures anymore like it used to. Hmmm. Maybe the 8 years and over 1 million photos has something to do with it, not sure, I will change a few settings and see if that makes any difference . Took some photos today with my I-Phone , think they are better. I-Phone pics say so in the caption, tell me what do you think if you notice?

On the way back we drove though the conservation area to check it out looks like a nice family camping place and they do have a sewage dump station that we will probably use when leaving here.

| nice campground back in the bush |
Then Suzie and I enjoyed our e-readers on a wonderful afternoon in the shade then about 3:30 some drizzle , so we put pour chairs away and headed inside for a while waiting for it to let up.
Then at 4:30 pm the rain let up and the 8 of us headed into Durham for a fish and chip feast at the Riverside Diner.
The rest of my pics were taken with my i-phone

Now about 7:30 we decided it was cooling down and time to head on home kick back and relax for a quiet evening, suited everyone just fine.
Another fun day here at the Ridge with friends, more laughs and good food.
After 2 great meals out for us 2 days in a row that we enjoyed, think we need to get back on track again. Our usual salads and portion control.
Thanks for stopping in for a visit always nice to hear from you again.

Where have we been this summer?
Sounds like a fun time you and Suzie have been having visiting with friends at the Ridge. The pictures you have posted, along with Patsy's, show what looks like good friends enjoying each others company.
ReplyDeleteA bike and a track with mud and jumps what more can a young boy ask for. A good looking young man by the way.
We are having areal good time here.at their wonderful Ridge with good friends.
DeleteYes he is a good looking young man and in his glory on the bike, playing in the mud.
The good days just keep on stacking up this summer.
ReplyDeleteThe fish and chips were great, I should just order 2 pcs. of fish, that would work for me. :)
Nice that you can see your grandson while this close. He is a cutey.
Yes the good days this summer have been amazing gotta lot it!
DeleteThe fish and chips were excellent, but when I like the fries too they are a treat for me.
I was nice to be able to see him when he is so close.
So yes, I think your camera is a goner. Several images are blurry. On mine, I push it down halfway to focus, and then the rest of the way to take the picture. If I do it too fast, it doesn't have time to focus and they come out blurry. If that's not the problem, then you need a new camera!! You're going to laugh, I always wanted to ride motorcycles like that. It's cool your grandson gets to have so much fun. Dinner looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteMine works the same way push it halfway down to focus, and seems to but guess it is gone, but I have another one exactly the same, takes great pictures but the display is half gone, think maybe I get it fixed?
DeleteI had motorcycles as a kid and did some of that way back when , had a ball. Think if I did it again I would really do some major damage to ME now !
Dinner was excellent.
Another great day you had! Again your grandson is adorable..he must get that smile from you! Dinner looked delicious ! Nice the ladies got tutored in firestarter making! I think all your pics look good, but again you've seen mine! haha.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day and seeing him again a real treat for me.
DeleteWill see what I can do about the pictures.
The ladies did have fun I am sure.
I vote for the I phone pics.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too thanks.
DeleteAh, dirt bikes, reminds me of my younger days. Thankfully I never jumped my bikes that high, the suspension back in those days would never have forgiven me! :c)
ReplyDeleteYes I did a lot of that back then too, not quite as high either but was still fun.
DeleteMy camera is older than yours, but I just can't part with my old Canon even tho it is ancient by today's standards. But I only take 'snapshots' so it's good enough. I think both your camera and iPhone pics are fine, they convey the story and preserve the memory.
ReplyDeleteAnother great day with friends, family and the motocross-kid.
They do convey preserve the memories and that's what I want.
DeleteHard for me to part with this one too.
It was a wonderful that we all enjoyed.
I like the iPhone!! I use my eye phone more than my camera these days!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great day for you and Suzie!!
Got to catch up...I’ve been nursing Mike’s ruptured disc!! Whew...he’s been in pain!!!!
I do too. nice to catch up and glad that you are taking care of Mike.
DeleteI found your blog George. Looks like you are having fun. I like the phone pictures too.
ReplyDeleteHey Loree glad that you found us again. We are having a ball here, too bad you not here too!
DeleteI would take several photos with both the iphone and the camera. Take the same exact picture and then you can do a proper comparison. Try a landscape, a portrait and perhaps an object like your car. Stand in the same place to take the photos then you can really see what is what.
ReplyDeleteI have actually done that and the phone does a better job overall.
