Freda spotted this little springfed brook from her jeep earlier this year, and decided to shoot a few pics. It was cold yet the sun was shining.

The camera had a Kodak Series 7 blue filter on it. Should I tell my wife you like her pictures?

What a pretty spot Freda found! I have a hard time driving by water.....as much water as I have to drive by every day on the way to work, it's a wonder I ever make it...especially when the sunrise and the mist are screaming for a photo or 2 to be taken, ha ha. You can tell her I like them too!

Plus, I hear you throw cameras in the water Sherri. Randy It is true that Sherri certainly has a history of coming close to throwing cameras and herself into the drink..... dam1 by bob40caliber, on Flickr I think it may been another section of this area shown above.....I'm sure Sherri will chime in here and correct the record.... :-)

I just don't know how those stories get started. I have NEVER thrown, or dropped a camera anywhere!! I have almost fallen off a dam (yes, honey, that was the right area, I still feel anxiety whenever I look at that photo), slipped on the frozen muddy banks of a river and into the water, I have slid down ledges and tripped and done summersaults over tree roots, but I have always, always, ALWAYS managed to protect the camera. ....well, except for the time I tripped over my own feet, rolled down a trail and landed on my little Pentax IQ zoom that I took hiking...knocked the front cover right off of it, snapped it back in place and finished off the roll of film before retiring it for good. That was a good little camera for a point and shoot.

Sherri is accurate about the "never dropped a camera anywhere". She did quite a save of a Minolta SRT 101 (out on a narrow extension of that dam) and thereby almost falling herself, into the dam, but she managed to hang on to the camera and herself.
And another time when she did slip into a cold, icy river she held the camera high and kept it dry and safe!

Sherri is obviously a firm believer in and practitioner of that old nautical saying
One hand for the camera and one hand for yourself."

She didn't smile but she laughed like heck!

I did not smile. I laughed hard enough for Bob to come running to see why, but smile, I did not. And I always believed in keeping both hands on the camera...and if I'd been doing that, I might not have come so close to falling off that dam when the camera strap let go.

That will teach you to text while you're walking across a dam dam.
