We bought a pair of Nikon binoculars last week from BassPro. So, going forward, my better half and partner in crime will man the binoculars during our outdoor excursions. The idea is that Donna will confirm “what’s out there,” so that I can fit my camera with the 100-400mm lens and capture the moment. You didn’t see it unless you capture it. I’m sure many a bird watcher would disagree with that assertion.

While Donna thoroughly enjoyed her plant-based quesadilla, I chewed on lawn clippings stuffed into a burrito. Thankfully, this meat eater had the opportunity afterwards to get outside and play with his camera.
