Lonnie, Miles, and I had a late afternoon playground outing today. After trying out the slide, swings, and climbing equipment, Miles settled into the sandbox for a half hour of digging and imaginative play.
When it was time to leave, I was concentrating so much on getting Miles to the car safely that – now get ready for this- I forgot the camera.
Yes, I left it at the park.
We drove away and left it. My D7000. Left it.
A few blocks away- I realized. We drove back, and I RAN to the bench where we were sitting.
And it was still there.
I am still getting over it.
f/2.8, 1/1250, ISO 200, 35mm
For my friend, Nevin: Yes, I was using the 35mm lens- and 2.8 was probably not the best aperture choice. I was using aperture priority.

I love the sifting sand! This is an excellent shot.
The falling sand!! Wow!! And thank you for the settings!! Learning, learning….
The camera was still there!!! Whew!!!!
