Last weekend, this weekend

Way out in Cayuga Lake

Aurora's first time out in HER boat

Last weekend Aurora and I were able to get out on the water, paddle around on glassy smooth water, and take a few pictures. With film. I havent shot film since 1999. Probably never would again except that waterproof digital cameras are still prohibitively expensive and seem to be a real compromise in technology. We found a waterproof 35mm camera back in Feb, and planned to take pictures in FL while we were diving. Didnt happen. Turns out that the NiMH batteries we brought with us had lost most of their charge in the time between leaving NY and getting out on the boat in FL.... got the camera into its housing, all ready to hit the ocean, and zip. Nada. Nothing.

Fast forward 3 months, and we loaded it with fresh batteries, and took it with us kayaking. Wonderful thing to have with us on our little voyages. Here are a few of the pictures.
