And then I threw it in the lake

Part of this past long weekend was going for walks to enjoy the sun, mosquitoes and views. We also wanted to see what the flood did (washed out a road completely is the answer).

I, mostly, just wanted to see how cold the water was. So I scrambled down the rocks, felt the water and heard a "Plop!" beside me. I couldn't believe that the Gentleman Caller was throwing rocks in my general direction. He wasn't. It was my camera falling out of my pocket and into the saltiest lake! I managed to save the memory card and the battery but the expensive part is un-useable.

I go through cameras like crazy. I've dropped two multiple times, and I lost one at the end of my travels that had 800 pictures of 8 countries on it. Absolutely devastating. I need to take better care.
These are the pictures a moment before my mishap.

top: Joe Fresh

shorts: Ricki's

sunnies: Gentleman's backup pair

scarf: ?

shoes: Crocs (I stand by them for perfect walking around shoes!)

flooded house: Abandoned (pre-flood)

rocks: the road that was built up to save the village

And the GC throwing rocks...

Today I'm grateful that I was able to laugh at my own misfortune. There was nothing else to do, really!
