Took a Photo Walk to Test My Phone Camera and Get Some Exercise

Tweet

I did not feel like writing today. Once the morning fog cleared around noon I grabbed my phone and camera and headed for Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden in Paso Robles. It's about a ten minute drive. I guess they were preparing for a big event tonight, since they had a tent up with tables to feed people and another, open on one side, for a band to play. A vendor was selling Greek food. I couldn't believe the prices. Above my pay grade. I passed. My goal was to walk around and take photos. I had both my Canon and my phone. My camera did better on shots that needed a zoom, but the phone did better with most of the others. For some the sun was in the wrong place and neither got what I wanted. I noticed quite a few changes since I was last there in this summer, so I wanted to get some photos of the new things. I also wanted photos of how the tasting room and grounds were decorated for Christmas. After I started home, I was quite tired and getting hungry. The market was right on my way home, so I stopped to shop the sale on grapes, yams, pears, bananas, and and Fuji apples. I also picked up a frozen cheese pizza and some other things I needed and a few I probably didn't need. When I got home I unloaded my five sacks of groceries, preheated the oven, chopped some bell pepper, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and put them on the pizza I'd bought. I put away the other groceries while the pizza cooked. Then I looked at Instagram and made comments after I ate. The moment of truth finally came and I uploaded my photos. I notice the phone photos uploaded to Dropbox by themselves so I can now access those photos from both computers and my phone. I still have to upload my camera photos to one more computer. I'm hoping to get blog posts on at least three different blogs from this photoshoot. It's been a busy day and I'm tired. The photo at the top shows the road I took up toward the oak tree. I passed a vineyard on the way. On the other side of the road appeared to be a facility where equipment for maintenance was stored and a small farm with fruit trees and animals. I kept trying to photograph some quail that kept hiding from me. Had to finally get them with a zoom video.
