A Fruitful Friday

At last I have a new feature on my camera figured out. It's an extension of a zoom lens with out compromising the photo quality too much...the top photo is the lowest point of the zoom lens, the middle is what iis supposed to be the highest point of the zoom lens, the bottom photo is with the new zoom crop feature which extends the zoom three times. This photo is of the USS Constitution model that my grandfather made close to 70 years ago for me. I am sitting all the way across the room from it and I took all three photos from the same spot (my recliner). It took a while, but I finally found what "button" to push to make this happen. It will be nice to have the capability to zoom in even closer than my lenses are supposed to. So far this feature has worked on any zoom lens that I have tried...from my oldest to newest zoom lenses. I was determined to figure this out! Success...by chance...I finally figured out what "button" I was moving when it happened. Now to figure out what lenses I want to take on my trip. I have continued to work towards getting ready for my trip to the Georgia mountains that happens in just a few days from now. I went to Kroger this morning and got a few snack items to take (always a part of any trip that I have taken during my lifetime!). I have washed clothes and am setting aside clothing items that I plan to take. I made some breakfast cookies (a high protein, not too sweet cookie that has cheese, bacon, wheat germ, oats, etc. in them). I made these for Esther a few weeks ago to take back to her apartment. Speaking of Esther, this is the first weekend that she hasn't come home since going off to college several weeks back. She had to take part in a day of dog washing...part of her vet tech duties. I can say that I am quite a bit farther along on the "last" Christmas ornament...the end is in sight. My goal is to have it finished before I head off on my trip. Then when I geet back I can start making them into ornaments...still quite a bit to do before they will be ready to hang on anyone's Christmas tree! I still have to load the cookie making dishes into the dishwasher. I guess I will go do that! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
