New Stuff! New Stuff! New Stuff!

Brain cancer is...

...on a novelty quest.

For reasons unknown to us, we had no toast tongs--until this morning's Amazon delivery that is.  

 

Toast tongs make breakfast feel like a board game.  You know, like the game Operation?  Darrell wishes the tongs were metal. 

New toast tongs pretty much set our quest for the day:  Seeing and doing new things.  Walking 10 miles in a 3-mile park definitely fueled our need for novelty.

We saw a new-to-us bird as soon as we pulled into the park.  

 Hello little green heron!

 

 And we did things like photograph the mountains from the middle of State College Boulevard. 

Risky?  Maybe.  But it felt safer than, say, metal toast tongs.

The walk also became a flower photo safari, which made our trek loooong in more than one sense of the word.

Novelty craving satisfied.

Here's to new stuff...and to patient partners!

Today's Blooms

Here are a few reasons Darrell sat and waited.

(PS.  Also a new experience?  Close-up photography wearing new single-focus distance lenses.)
