Locally gas stations have been rather high lately so I took a trip up to one that is always reasonable in Sykesville. Instead of hopping back on Route 32 I decided to cruise through town and grab a few frames. It was early and the Farmers Market folks were just setting up.

It hadn’t gotten too hot yet. Well the sun hadn’t risen on some areas of town yet. I love that time of day in the summertime. I met a nice woman setting up her tables for her handmade jewelry and had a quick talk on politics and what was right and wrong with the world.

I continued to walk the town for a short bit but remembered we were going to visit my mother in-law who just made her return home. Was good to see her comfortable again.

So I didn’t do as much shooting as I had hoped for this weekend so that is a good reason to pick up the cameras during the week also this week.

I’ll see what I can get started at tonight. I noticed they had just bailed the field of hay near my home and some of those looked nice scattered across the field this evening. I’ll go back for a few shots of those tomorrow.

Overall it was a pretty good day. I’m kind of tired because I wasn’t able to get the sleep I needed but will try to do better tomorrow. I’m starting to worry about that affecting my overall health badly so its more of a priority for me than in the past.

Random Thoughts of the Day
- If your lucky to live a long life the biggest bet you will make is when to retire.
- You know that NBA players can’t have a conversation with each other without putting their hand over their mouths. Do they all have bad breath? Could they be saying things they maybe shouldn’t be saying? Could it be a gag where they are pretending to talk and see how many cameras they can get to take a picture or tape of it? All I know is it looks bad.
- Writing is easy. Coming up with something good to say isn’t so much.
- I love short work weeks.
