Kelsey loves to walk in the rain. So do I. My camera…not so much. But the thing is supposed to be tough (mostly) and a little gentle rain shouldn’t make a difference. I actually believe the camera will do okay, the problem will be with the lens. I did my best to keep the umbrella covering the lens but you can imagine the stares I received as I tried to balance, hold, set, shoot, adjust, shoot…I probably looked like a penguin climbing a ladder. Hmmm…did that make sense? But you gather I had my hands full trying to keep the lens dry while shooting, walking, talking, and soaking in the absolutely beautiful morning.The rain was really just a drizzle. The temperature was perfect, perfect for me, chilly for Kelsey. We were walking at 7, not many people because of the hour and the rain. Perfect. When you remember days, these are the kinds of days you remember. Quiet. Comfortable. Meaningful conversations. Not corny, just human, family. Just right. Every single day, hour, minute is a gift but sometimes I begin to go so fast I need to recalibrate. I did that yesterday morning.
