Very pretty and such lovely colors. Been missing you posts!

Thank you, BJW, for your kind words. Yes, my posts have been few the last little while. Usually seeding and harvest seasons take up most of my time around here, as I work for my neighbour during these times.

Now that the seeding is done, I now have to turn my focus on to our own yard and garden work that's been on hold.

Also, it takes a little longer to develop film, out here. It has to be sent off for processing, which can take anywhere up to three weeks to get the photos back. So, the photos I snapped during the winter and early spring just got done.

Hope all is well with you!
David.

I sent some old film I found off to Kodak a while ago, in the pre-addressed envelope it came with originally.
I'm still waiting. GRRR!


(only kidding!)
A very nice atmosphere to this shot, David,
Best wishes,
Andy

Thank you so much, Sonja and Andy, for your comments and encouragement!

I recently found an old single-use camera of ours that was never sent off for developing. The cost of developing the film was supposed to be included in the price of the camera when we bought it. I think that ship has sailed a while ago, now! LOL!

I really like the effect of the lenses these point-and-shoot cameras have on the images they capture; they can be quite surreal.

Just stumbled across this article, about the closure of a Canadian photography store that was in most cities across the country, Blacks Photography. I used to frequent this store quite a bit; I think I bought all of my cameras from them (both film and digital), before they closed.

It was a shame to see them close up.
