But, I will show two good pictures today. I got a decent one looking back across the lagoon, past the tree, as the ducks peacefully bed down for the night.
Well, the new camera was put to a tough test last night - I didn't get out for a run until 4:30PM, which is sunset in these literally dark days.
Some pictures were terrible and frustrating, too fuzzy to use at all. A couple more, here, were marginally OK if reduced in size to an eighth. The Xmas tree was turned on for the first time, but we'll have to do with a small picture of it, not in great focus.
Even more frustrating was to catch the otters on-shore and then have only bad pictures of them - you can just make out that they are indeed otters in the 1/8th-size picture below.
But, I will show two good pictures today. I got a decent one looking back across the lagoon, past the tree, as the ducks peacefully bed down for the night.
And then, just south of the lagoon, I zoomed in on the silhouettes of the trees on Second Beach as the last sunset rays glowed behind them.
