Early Bird

Monday, September 25, 2023

These are the wee morning hours before I am to clock in for an early shift at work. I savor these early times of quiet for offering a sense of peace and solitude that’s rare elsewhere. While there’s the pressure of needing to prepare for work, there’s also a welcome offset. It’s the perk of being free in the early afternoon. That’ll gain enough light and time to construct more fencing or improve my photography skills.

The available light and time should allow some of both activities. I have enough materials on hand to construct a fence post and if uninterrupted could finish that task in an hour. Then, I could head out in my Jeep with dogs, a camera, and a tripod.

Hmm, maybe it’s poor planning to have dogs around while I practice using a tripod. They don’t cooperate well during needs for steadiness. I will plan differently, to progress in understanding the cameras and how to utilize more their vast capabilities.

On a related note, soon I will need a heated jacket so brought home a new one. Working at HD indicates that technologies improve rapidly. I expect my new jacket to be equipped with an improved battery and can heat more quickly and warm better for longer.

Dear Friends: Now a shift in focus will have me getting ready for work. Diana
