Day
one of World Pentax Day (Saturday, Feb. 23) was almost a wash out – literally! As
you can see from these photos the weather was less than cooperative, and a
death in the family had us driving most of the day to attend what turned out to
be a truly inspirational funeral service. The day long rain and thunderstorms did take a
break at times allowing us to stop on the way home for a few shots like the one
above at the Biloxi Lighthouse.
As
you can see above we weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the break in the
rain to snap a few photos.
We also made a quick stop (during another brief break in
the weather) to visit the family cemetery, pay our respects and take a few more
pictures.
Carefully
avoiding the puddles and trying each step to make sure we didn’t sink into the
mud while keeping the cameras protected from the rain and drizzle is no fun.
Having truly weather sealed cameras AND lenses would help some but I think I
have may have turned into a weather wimp in my old age – a fair weather
photographer. If I had not had to be out and about yesterday for the funeral anyway
I likely would have just stayed inside. Of course the hay fever or sinus
affliction I was suffering from didn’t help motivate me. In any case this is really a World Pentax
Weekend so I called it a day and headed for the closest eatery – then home,
hoping Sunday would be better.
