When Good Days and Bad Days collide ...

You get Shawna. on Saturday.

I was re-commiting myself to taking more pictures ... of lots of things ... of our life ... you see Internet ... before I became a "photographer" (that still sounds kinda funny) We took lots of pictures - of us doing regular everyday things ... but now ... I have this tendancy to judge whether things are "worthy enough" of an actuation -

That is a fancy word I learned for clicking the shutter ... minor detail.  makes me feel smart.

and then more often than not - I don't snap the picture.  So my commitment was to take more pictures ... starting with what promised to be a hilarious venture with my Neighbors ... Broc and Avery.

Saturday afternoon, I hauled out all the supplies; rakes, shovels, hoses, seeds, gloves, watering cans, wheel barrow, hoe and most of all - Broc and Avery!  We were all ready to PLANT MY GARDEN! I ran into the house to get my camera - this event was being documented!  I ran outside - took one picture - and received this nasty message on my screen.

Err 99 - camera can not take picture.

What!??  This must be a mistake. 

Click.

Err 99.

Click.  Err 99.  Change Battery.  Click. Err 99.  Change Lens. Click. Err 99. Change CF Card. Click. Err 99. SERIOUSLY!  not a good time Canon.

I have loved you for so long Canon.  You have never let me down.  Until Today.  I am mad.

Don't let it ruin your day Shawna.  Okay.  I go outside - and we proceed to plant.

It was indeed - awesome. 

We got muddy; We got wet; we got the garden planted.  Complete with a toothy grin from my little man Broc - "I am a gardner right?  This is what gardneers do all day - right?" Right Broc.  All day they plant three rows of peas, one row of  red onions; half a row of carrots and two squash plants. and they have three waterfights in the middle.  and they do it barefoot. yep.  This is what gardeners do all day Broc.

Avery got bored about mid-first row - and took the weiners for a walk - then played with them in the shade for the remainder of planting time.  According to Broc - not a gardener. 

Then we spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the grass; playing walkie-talkie on the telephone; until I had to go home and get ready for the big trip to Hanna.

Bad Day.  Camera broke.  Lots of Jobs coming up. 

Good Day.  Broc and Avery.  My Garden.  Sunshine.  My dream house.

yep.  Good Day.

And new camera for Shawna on Monday Eve.  Thinking about the new Canon 7D.  with video. 

and no photos today ... :(
