As we have been rolling down the road, Carol has been photographing the world. Yes, she really did take 172+ photos at Niagara Falls. We think she averages about 100 photos daily, mostly through the windshield of out the side window. She enjoys taking pictures of road signs: the highway numbers to chronicle the trip; others that are just unique. since we don't stop (otherwise, we would still be in Nebraska), the "out the side window shots" have a certain blur to them. Some can be cropped, but a lot find their way to the trash bin. Each morning, before we hit the road, I try to remember to clean the windshield. This gives Carol a nice clear field of vision. It doesn't take very long before all matter of insect life has met its fate at 80 kph (we are in Canada now, do the math) upon the vastness of glass that makes up our windshild. Where the camera's auto-focus feature would look through a clean windshield, it now focuses on the bugsplat. If Carol can sight around the bug, the picture usually contains remnants of bug matter. Oh, you don't know its bug matter; it just looks like a smudge on the picture. So she is going to create a folder of "Shots through the Windshield" and that should explain it all.
