Cycle Day Seven

In the year I worked at FPL meter reading, each day in the month had a cycle number along with a route number. The fellows who had been with FPL meter reading for years knew them by heart and could off the top of their head tell you where every meter on each route was. Amazing. Today would have been cycle day 7, route 111 beginning off Turner Road West of town on Battle Hill. It was one of the more scenic routes I read, reading through Lake Lona, up Brown Road, down to Smitty's Western Area, finishing at the end of Noegel Road. Many photographs came from this route.
This morning, I did not head West but South on my new route. It was a foggy morning of which I so look forward to. The first stop would have been the Octagonal Church at Price Creek CR 245 and
252 but the fog was too thick. I headed West on 252, my first stop the intersection of 252 and SE Country Club where the large oak in Mr Yarborough's field was. From there down Country Club past the Lil Bit Country Flower Shop to the open fields with wild flowers thick on the West side of the road.  Down to Hillcrest with a nice stand of black-eyed susans under the pines at 441. Back North toward town to Bethel Methodist taking a right on CR 133B, back to Country Club, to Price Creek and South to Cline Feagle Road. From there to Lutheran Cross Road to check out Bethlehem Lutheran, then retracing Lutheran Cross Road back to Price Creek, South to Providence and through the intersection straight onto 241A, stopping at the old house where the petunias once grew. Only one or two were blooming. From there wound around back to Providence, retracing bicycle routes Roger and I used to often take. From Providence took 241 back to Price Creek and home.
Saw several turkey, stopping many times as scenes unfolded and the fog lifted. By the time I returned to the Octagonal church, the fog was gone so I came on home.
Used two cameras, the D40 that needed a new sensor but seems to take photographs OK with the 18-200 attached and the new D3100 with the 18-55 attached. I used the SB400 with diffuser for flash on a cord. Perhaps the photo I liked best today was the old house with the single petunia. After failed attempts with auto focus, I set the lens on manual and focused on the petunia with the house out of focus, but enough in focus with the f8 setting. The fill flash was laid on the ground. I too was lying on the ground, which could account for why I feel things crawling up my pants now.
