The Biltmore House
I went on a trip to visit the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. Since the primary purpose of the trip was vacation, I took the noisy cricket (Lumix LX-3) as the happy snap camera for the event. Turned out I had more time on my hands and more opportunities to photograph the outside of the great house and grounds than I thought. That’s when I learned that I needed to have something more than a battery charger in my teeny tiny hang on my belt camera bag. The most annoying accessory missing from the trip was the cord that I use to hang my eyeglasses around my neck when I need to focus on the back of the camera. (For you young ‘uns out there, some old folks have trouble with their vision at very close distances. They will take their glasses off, push them back on their foreheads or hang their glasses from a cord around their neck. I’m sure you’ve seen your grandparents do this.) I made a note to myself to purchase another pair of them for the small camera bag.
Here’s the second annoying thing. While I’m writing this, I just wondered why I didn’t buy one of those cords while I was on vacation.
