The wine barrel was loaded into the cart, and the was Unicorn hitched up (she still needs a name), and she was all set to make the delivery....

"Be careful, and have a safe trip!"

"There goes the biggest order we've ever had..."

...and off she went....

*Just a little note about my camera issues. I've been having so much trouble the past few days, with the dreaded 'Error99' popping in, and the camera refusing to take pictures, or totally blowing them out when it does work. And once in a while between all the issues, it will take a photo or two. It started with the photos I was trying to take on my patio of the 'Victorian Veranda'.

I googled what to do about the problem and tried some of the suggestions to see if they help. My camera seemed to be okay for a few pictures, so we packed up the dolls and Unicorn and went down to the Lake to find a path through the woods. The camera started acting up again, and I only got two photos (the top one above), so we went home. I tried a few more things, and in the evening we went again. Again, the camera acted up, but I persevered and got a couple of photos. I love how they turned out, but am overwhelmed with all the camera issues.

I was given it for Christmas back in 2008, and it was purchased 'used'. So it's absolutely "ancient" as far as digital cameras go. I think I really need to start looking into a replacement, but in the meantime I'm trying a few more of the online suggestions to see if any of those things help. This morning I tried a different lens, and a new memory card, which I formatted, and things have been working so far. I'll see if it continues to be okay once I switch back to my regular lens.

I have so many things I want to photograph, and can't do without a properly functioning camera. It makes me feel so 'handicapped'.

I'm terrible at naming things, so I'm going to have to give it some serious thought.

I love these photos.....there is so much depth in them. Good luck with the delivery little unicorn!

But poor you about the camera ((huge hugs)) what an awful thing to be going through! I would feel as if my right arm was cut off if I didn't have my 10 year old (ancient) Nikon camera......so I totally understand how you feel.
Good luck in sorting it out....I so feel for you here xxx

I really like the lighting in all but the first photo, the way the hazy evening sun highlights the distant trees.

I did a photo-shoot yesterday afternoon using my telephoto lens and it worked perfectly, but as soon as I put my regular lens back on the problems started again. So maybe it's that lens and not the camera. I want to try the old lenses from my first camera to see how my camera reacts to those, to see if they work okay. Those are just cheap kit lenses, but at least it would confirm that it's not my camera.

It was good the telephoto lens worked, but it's a lot harder, if not impossible, taking photos with it in a confined space since I need to be much farther from the subject.

I love the photos. I am sorry your camera isn't working correctly. I hope you are able to fix the problem.

The first step is in figuring out if it's my camera or the lens that's the issue. Although neither would be inexpensive to replace, as the lens cost about as much as the camera itself.

I really should get a newer camera. My current one is 'ancient' in digital camera years. It's just that I hate change.

I love this sequence! The setting is perfect, the little unicorn is lovely, and Winston is a scream in that apron! Your stories and photos are wonderful, Martha.

Thanks! We discovered this pathway going through the woods to the lake. We only discovered it because our usual lakeside location has been ripped up and is under construction.

I think we may use this spot more often.

I forgot to ask... Can I order some dandelion wine? I'd love to have the little unicorn stop by my door :o)
