What do we have but right now?  Nothing really.

I have a “new” camera.  It is a newer model of my old Sony camera.  Dismayed that my Cybershot camera was run over in the driveway, I was thankful to find a affordable replacement.  I discussed some issues relative to the replacement camera with the Sony repair Rep who was in Connecticut.  She said they will fix any Sony for $156.00.  I laughed to myself.  My old camera was beyond repair at any price.

I captured some photos of the backyard garden at the end of July.  A photograph stops time, allowing us to observe, and appreciate what the eye almost always misses.  We are self absorbed, thinking about ourselves, so we miss what is right in front of us.  The weird,

interesting aspects of everything is lost on us.  And there is our evolutionary inheritance, the habit of rapidly scanning our surroundings.  Having an eye out for predators, for something bigger

and more hungry, was key to survival for a very long time.  The reflex of defensive watchfulness cones naturally to us.  But that means that we miss everything else.

I took these photos, as I suffered as prey to mosquitoes.  They have their place in the grand scheme of life.  It is enough to swat the few away that did land upon my arms hoping for a meal.

These photos are a summer-now of my backyard garden.
