Pianos



It has been a little bit since an entry.

I am doing well with my camera and piano. I have sent back the Swissonic 88 keyboard mentioned previously, and now have in the mail a truly high quality keyboard, the Roland FP-90.

I look forwards to playing it, and writing down my impressions. It is a triple sensor keyboard, and so more expressive than others, you can replay a note after raising up the key just a little bit. The expressiveness is important to me.

It is a white piano too. So now not only the piano keys are white. I like to think of the sky pictures I take, and the floating clouds, and imagine them inside the piano keys.

The Sony A7R II is taking beautiful pictures still too, with the 90mm Macro lens, and the Tamron 100-400mm, both of which are splendid lenses. I have gotten completely used to using the latter properly as an adapted lens and think it, with my inexperienced view, a recommendable combination.

My health has had its ups and downs, while I rarely write about it, I feel I should a little, though not very much, as crosses belong kept quietly close if one can bear them so.

I am improving in that I have a treadmill to run on a little every day. And a little I run on it every day, making progress in improving my ability to exert myself without getting out of breath, little by little.

The winter has been difficult however in that cold and wet weather seems the worst for allergies, and they have become bad enough that I must keep medication around at all times or risk coughing and choking to a dangerous point. I wonder what it is on cold wet days, even when it is snowing that is in the air that troubles me?

God is good. May God help us poor sinners, and protect the holy Church, and save the poor lost souls everywhere.

Before Winter Birds and Trees

' Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. [Mt 6:26] The birds are the saints, who fly to heaven on the wings of contemplation, who are so removed from the world that they have no business on earth. They do not labour, but by contemplation alone they already live in heaven.' St. Anthony of Padua 'Shall we all be saved? Shall we go to Heaven? Alas, my children, we do not know at all! But I tremble when I see so many souls lost these days. See, they fall into Hell as leaves fall from the trees at the approach of winter.' St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney, the Cure of Ars 'Yesterday, our old St. Francis of Assisi was more poetical than ever, in the midst of his tears and of his bursts of love. Speaking of the soul of man, which ought to aspire to God alone, he cried out, "Does the fish seek the trees and the fields? No; it darts throu...

Fawns in the Rain

The fawns which visited not too long ago returned during the rains the other day. There's flooding down by the river, but I am on a safe incline. I hope and pray the poor folks down by the river come out of it all without harm.

In the meantime

God willing, I will be blogging more about Touchkeys in the coming days. In the meantime here is a a photographic interlude.
