Looking at the Heavens

Second day of walking around with the camera. And. . .

I dropped it!!!

. . .

I remember seeing a plastic part on the ground, a little bit away from me. . .

But all it was, was that the battery had popped out, it hadn't broken into fragments. I put it back together again. Everything worked but the focus. I took the lens off and put it on again, then it worked too. It appears all is well. Thanks be to God.

There was a beautiful cloud formation I saw out the window that I wanted to capture on camera. I hurried along. . . and by the time I got outside it was already blowing apart. I couldn't catch it. This is what I was able to afterwards.
