I am truly pleased for you that I helped you spend up big on Olympus.

I am also pleased for me that I live many miles away, just in case it all turns sour and you come after me with one of those guns.

An Ozarker thinks nearly as much of his guns, as he does his hound dogs and his fine Olympus cameras, and other such tools he uses in his everyday ramblings through this old sin cussed world below.

I was up with the chickens this morning, and instead of feeling all sorry for myself my Olympus camera didn't have the most intelligent ISO there might be, and if there is any way to set the minimum shutter speed it would be that X Synch flash menu that so far has not enticed me to journey there, I got a notion that I'd wander out to my wife's defenseless garden and shoot her sprinkler, and see if the camera could freeze the raindrops.

I tried shooting the garden twice on Program, but then I remembered all Olympus cameras have a Sport Scene mode, and I tried that, but it only got up to 1/500 second shutter speed, and ISO three hundred something, and although I didn't freeze the water drops, the photo sure pleased, the one who tends her garden.  So I just picked what I thought was the best one, and sent it to my lovely wife.

Morning Garden

I see I have all the keystones compensated to my satisfaction, and if I could just get the dad blasted blankety blank shutter speed just a little faster, maybe I could freeze those water drops, falling on the plants out there.

But my wife thinks it's a lovely picture, and she's sending it to her friends who tend garden, and she's very pleased.

And if she's not happy, there ain't nobody happy, at this place, I tell you.

But I noticed something about my Olympus cameras. The other day when we were going to Gravois Mills, I tried that Sport Scene mode, and the PM2 snapped three pictures in an eyeblink. And this morning, when I tried that on my OMD M5 II, the same way, the Olympus Viewer 3 shows there are three pictures of her garden in the morning, but I can find, but one.

A mystery, that may have to be explained further, in my ramblings.

We are going out to the gun club, later on, because I forgot my target there, and maybe I'll make some pretty pictures of moving things out there.

The Olympus cameras, open your eyes, to all the wonders of the world outside.
