This character has been hanging around the campground for a few months now. He’ll sleep right in the yard now and then, follow us around almost every day, and mouth off at night to let us know he’s here. He’s never aggressive or threatening but always curious about what we’re up to. It’s fascinating to be able to watch how a coyote behaves from day to day.

The NOMO app has an assortment of interesting cameras. Many aren’t worth a second look, some are gimmicky, some, like the half-frame PEN I use for fractured landscapes, are useful. Some can simply be a blast to play with once in awhile.

This is one of those. In 1956 a Chinese company, Tianjian, introduced a simple medium format camera they called Happiness Type 1. The name is a bit cheesy if you ask me, but hey – I like the color.
