The winter weeds had started to get out of hand, the oak leaves were needed to be chopped up and the whole yard was just looking shaggy. Plus, it was nice and cool this morning with a lot of clouds. ... http://aeternam626.com/blog/?p=21 I've been using the same SLR camera since 1978 - my trusty old Canon AE-1.
