The Redo

On Thursday, that yellow thing in the sky came out for awhile, so we went back to the park to redo Sue's autumn photo. It wasn't just the sun, of course, for her chosen spot now also had good colour: no orange or red, but still colour. If you look across the river you can see that the scene looks nicely autumnal from front to back

Once again, I used my Canon and took multiple clicks in each leaf fall that Sue made from her umbrella. I didn't feel the need to blend photos this time. That ↑ was my fave, which I also printed large, but this ↓ was a close second.

Of course, the scene was a bigger part of the project than capturing Sue, but I chose to crop in on this ↓ one, so we could see her better with her nice smile. Fortunately, the Canon gives me many more pixels than the phone does, so there is still decent resolution after cropping.

There were also some other nice trees in the park, but it is adjacent to the high school, and there were kids about, so I determined to come back after school. By then it was overcast, and since then it has also been rainy, so I may be thwarted this year. (What else is new?). However, it was nice to get the above series. Soon enough, we will no doubt be looking for a spot for next year's seasonal series.

====================

On Thursday, after an ridiculously stupid night, I posted my Whining and Whinging entry. Thankfully, the next night was a very good 7.5 hours. I don't achieve that often. In fact, the night after that, Friday, yielded me barely more than 4 hours, and they weren't even very good hours if you know what I mean. As a result I was extremely poopdicated* yesterday. Sue thought I looked sad, but I was just really extremely tired. While I only got five hours last night, they were pretty good hours, and that makes a difference. I did manage to sleep in bed, and it was nice not to feel so constricted. Aside from some early difficulty with my shoulder, I managed to get into a semi comfortable position. Thank goodness for small mercies, which aren't really so small after all. 

* Poopdicated is our constructed word. Feel free to use it. It's better than plain old pooped, doncha think?
