Getting ready and counting down...

The day is fast approaching. Been making plans and getting little things ready. But this is the last weekend, and the week ahead will be busy.

Have been getting things together for the trip. Today will be laundry and I need to cut the grass. It will probably still be pretty shaggy by the time I get back. At least the weather is trying to cooperate today; the sun is peeking in and out from behind dark clouds. It rained last night, so hopefully the grass will have a chance to dry a bit before I get out there.

Still need to "configure" my camera bag. I've thought about what lenses I will bring, but think I will leave the 300mm f/2.8 at home. It would fit, but I don't have an easy way to pack a tripod, and you can't handhold that one. If my monopod will fit in the luggage, I might reconsider, so will have to try it out.

Lots to do... I probably should start making a list.
