My Camera Committed Suicide!

 Monday was a beautiful day and since I worked my tail off yesterday, I decided to do something I enjoyed.  For me, that is taking a walk and getting reconnected.

The day began cool and the weather WAS perfect.  The sun peeks through the tree limbs, promising a warm day.  We got lucky, the clouds moved in and the monster heat we were having didn't make it today.
We walked to the creek and continued to fern gully or that is what I call it.  It is a set in area that channels the water from the mountain.  Ferns love it here and so do we.  The earth is rich with mulch and the loamy soil smells so sweet.  It is just a peaceful place to visit.
Returning, I tried to capture the skies reflecting in our spring.  I did not do so well.  The trees reflected but the clouds have ripples.
Right after this awesome photo of a spider...can you see him?...my camera committed suicide.  Jumped right into the water with no help from me.  I recovered it quickly but it said, lens error, no shit!

I removed the battery, the disc and have placed it in the sun, hoping it will resuscitate itself.  I tried the battery a minute ago, the lens opened and is full of water.  If I can get it to work, this will be my special effects camera...looking through water!  No, gonna leave it in the kitchen window and hope the water leaves.

You may be wondering how I saved these pictures.  Marcy's and my camera have the same disc so I used hers to download mine.

The moral to this story is...I should have been working instead of playing!!

The Perfect Photo..

In my eyes. There are photos that come out just the way you plan and then there are photos that are quite by accident, not what you planned but wonderful anyway, beyond reason.

Marcy discovered this colorful spider and took several photos of it. She was gonna to delete this one. This photo has swept me away. Do not know if it is the composition, the lighting or the subject or the combination of all.

Thanks, Marcy for providing me with this awesome picture!
