I took some time this week to run to the Heritage Center with my little toddlers. First stop: the balcony overlooking the exhibits, where they can hit the button to activate the sound of geese flying overhead. This has been part of the Heritage Center visit tradition since I was a boy.

As this post’s title indicates, this is also my 55,000th photo through my trusty Canon camera! I’ve checked online and seen reports of this model racking up hundreds of thousands of exposures without issue. While I dream of an upgrade, I plan to keep this camera around and in service for years to come. Maybe my boys will learn photography with it!
