Please shut the gate.

A pano at the much photographed pond area at the end of the road.
I was planning to do some around the local area, until that is, I realised it was bin day. Not very photogenic....
Some other day.
I took delivery today of a film/slider scanner so I can digitise some of dad's slides and photos. And then likely some of my own. 
Found out that the Mac compatibility was no longer compatible with Mac OS. Ended up having to buy additional software that is supported by Mac OS Ventura. Not impressed.
Having found out I needed new software, the process of getting it was confusing and tortuous. Even less impressed.
Once installed and working, it does do the job effectively.
