On our way home  Sunday,  we made a stop in Montour Falls to walk the path along the inlet.     It was there that I dropped my camera.   It was just a short drop to the ground.  It slipped from my hands.   I reached down,  picked it up and we headed back down the path.   I was slow to realize that damage might have been done,  but something told me to try a picture,  which I did,  and the screen was blank…..

Going online,  we discovered that the estimate for repairs,  with tax and insurance and shipping,  would equal the cost of a new camera.     George convinced me to go shopping last evening.    We found a camera comparable to what I had been using,  but actually less expensive.    It was hard to spend money on something that could break with just a slip of the hand,  so I will be more careful!

Here are some pictures from around the place that I took to figure things out.

Accidents happen. I am glad you were able to replace it and I like the pictures you took while figuring it out. Have a good day!

The pictures are certainly lovely, but I can understand your frustration. We were at Niagra Falls a few years ago, and my husband sat on the ledge of a fountain to wait for our children to finish looking at something. When he stood up, his cell phone fell out of his holder and into the fountain… not good for the phone. He was bummed.

Do you go back to work this week? I seem to recall it is soon.. I remember being both glad, and sad to end my recovery time, partly because I still had recovering to do. Yet I was also glad to be getting back to “normal”.
