This was a remarkably well-ordered picnic site, with two tables, a grille, and a trash barrel all lined up more or less on that little island. I am pretty sure the barrel on the right is making sure they stay in formation.

Just because I felt like it*, I rented a camera for a week, and to feel like I was getting my money’s worth, I took it everywhere. I used to do that with my regular camera, but got out of the habit.

I went to the park (which you saw here and which you’ll see again tomorrow). There were lots of things to see, because I was looking on purpose for things to shoot. I used to that a lot, too, but got out of the habit.

So an unexpected consequence of the rented camera was a reminder that I’d gotten lazy, and was missing a lot of subjects as a result. That made a week’s rental an especially good bargain.

*or, to translate into Texan, I had a hankering.
