Got My (Photography) Fix!

---

Well, today has been busy!  The photo above is from the highlight of my day: our visit to the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, of the koi pond, specifically! (full-view recommended!)  It was so beautiful and so much fun to finally get my photography fix taken care of.  And by that, I mean actually taking pictures with my camera, not only with my phone.  The last time we took a photography trip was last month in Tahoe, but I never really got to use my camera, because of the snow and the precarious conditions that entailed.  Which was for the best, since I did end up slipping about five times. (haha)  But this was great.  And just what I needed!  It wasn't as serene as I'd expected, because there were too many people there, but it was pretty.  One of my favorite things is just being outside with my Nikon, taking photos of anything & everything I see around me.  So I'm happy now. 😁📷

Be Wary of the Backseat

So the majority of my Saturday was somewhat eventful.  I tagged along on a trip out to San Francisco (technically Daly City, but close enough!) for the gun show at what is known as the Cow Palace.  My husband and brother-in-law were wanting to go there mainly to attend a CCW class, which took about 2 hours to complete.  In the meantime, I sat in the food court area and started a new book, while waiting for them.  Then we walked around and the guys bought a few things.  I almost had an EMS (electric muscle stimulation) unit demonstration forced on me, until the guy finally understood that I did not want it and then talked the hubby into it, claiming that he could relay to me what it felt like.  We already have a TENS unit so I had a pretty good idea anyway.  Those pads have to be placed directly on the skin, so I just would have felt awkward having some stranger reach under my shirt, in the middle of the building.  So sue me. 😋
