It was all good until he started rambling on about ISO, shutter speed and aperture, but at least the advice was free. 😊

Is this the expert you were talking to?

I’m not sure if I was talking to him or he was talking to me. He has a sort of one hand clapping approach. 👍

Why are you sure it was alpaca? He has no ears! 😜

Are you trying to confuse me again? He has ears but asked me not to show them because he’s self conscious about the size.

You can’t argue with an Alpaca who knows Dōgen. Only in Lancaster Rob, only in Lancaster.

A sense of humor is very much needed these days, that’s why I went to see my emotional support animals. Stay calm, stay safe and stay home (unless you’re already out with your camera on a sunny day).

I completely agree, Mike. As for staying at home, I work NHS frontline so no choice as to where I’m sent. It’s a lottery. But, stay safe.. wise advice and, always! Thanks my friend! 🙏

That’s great Sandy. I went to the pharmacy, grabbed coffee and the paper and I was completely freaking out. The people with masks and gloves, the frightened faces and the tape on the floor at six foot intervals was overwhelming. Fortunately there’s a place where everybody knows my name. Take care of yourself. ☯
