It's rare these days that I take a walk without Syd. He's a wonderful dog, but always having to be chief dog wrangler does put a damper on certain things when enjoying the outdoors. Things like photography - slowing down, stopping, and taking pictures of tiny bits I notice along the way.
We decided to go out to Fort Ebey yesterday - without the dog! It was good for Michael to exercise his leg, and I was happy to be able to relax along the way. And not pick up poo, haha. It's going to be a while yet before Michael can take over the leash. Syd is very strong, and has a habit of stopping suddenly or turning quickly or lunging in weird directions - any one of which could do big damage to Michael's leg.
Anyhow, here's a few of the photos I took along our walk. I was using my SLR, which by "modern" standards is getting pretty outdated. It's a Canon EOS 20D - just a mere 8.2 mp! The sensor is dirty (not good for sky shots), but it still takes photos with a much different quality than my point and shoot.

I need to remember to slow down when I take my photos... less of them will be blurry!
I kind of miss spending time with this camera.
