Friday March 15/13  update #393

Pancho was keeping me awake so I got up before 5:30 and went out with the camera to see what the rising sun would offer.  I took many shots along the Yanuncay and kept a few for you to enjoy.  Every shot was taken on a manual setting, something we photographers sometimes do not always have the time to do, opting for an automatic setting.  Today’s cameras are so intelligent that we sometimes just get lazy and let the camera do all the work.

Shooting a time shot of 30 seconds smoothes out rough water and we also get much richer colour so I really love the deep blue that has come out on the pre-dawn shots of the river.

We had been asked to join Jim Mola and friends at Los Sabores De La Nonna on Avenida Solano for a “fiesta”, so we did.  This is a new restaurant, impossible to know about them unless someone tells you about them and gives you directions.  Basically they serve mostly shish-kebabs that are very tasty, although they do have things like lasagna on the menu, but apparently not tonight.  Folks were raving about the food previously so we were expecting great things, but… we got street meat shish-kebabs that we can get on any corner.   The company was great though and it was awesome to see many friends we hadn’t seen in a while.  Sorry about the quality of photos from there.  I was just using the small camera and didn’t bother with a lot of adjustments.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
