picnic days! and a new toy...

5.06.2010

our weekly picnic days are back!
our tuesday farmers market opened up again for the season...
which means i get to meet ceej for lunch for the most delicious tamales!!!
am very pleased about this.

it already feels too hot here.
why?
i think the high was only 77...
but it was just too hot,
so we sought shelter in the shade...

but, as shade tends to do, it moved on us,
leaving us hot, hot, hot,
and too lazy to move the blanket.

and, voila!
the newest of our toys:
we finally got a lens board to attach
this amazing lens to our graflex.
we're pretty excited to use it in yosemite this weekend.
which reminds me that we have stacks of negatives that i need to scan
so i can show you long overdue graflex images...i'll get to it sometime.

this lens is magic.
wish you could meet us at the park
so you could see just how amazing this lens is.
i guess you will have to wait
until we use it,
and i get motivated to scan, scan, scan.
