Before the rain became a pain, I thought it would be a great evening to toddle into Portsmouth NH to snap a few pictures. But first, I had to have Nancy refresh me, as she had the day before. How do I set that self-timer on my camera? After my refresher course, I asked if she wanted to go into town with me, but she opted to remain at home with the cute little mutt we are mutt sitting for the winter while my brother sticks his toes in the warm sands in Florida. The "shadow" dog is a cute little MALE poodle. Experience has shown that when he is left totally alone, he becomes a little miffed. Thus, we thought we should rename him "Spot."
So, as I staggered alone for my Night On The Town, I thought I could make amends with Buddy/Spot if I took a picture to which he could relate. Thus, the hydrant strategically appeared as I trudged toward Memorial Bridge, which is soon to be replaced with an un-rusted structure. Then, for Nancy's holiday present (PC terminology), I took a picture of a (PC) holiday tree and downtown Portsmouth to prove I had actually been there, rather than imbibing (embalming?) at the Rustic Slammer. It worked. Arriving home, the dog jumped up and down with joy and Nancy fixed me suppah! Life is good.
Keep your lens clean and Happy Holidays
