Weekend at Ocean Shores

We are spending the weekend at the ocean. We expected rain but found clear skies when we got up.
I learned a valuable lesson today. Zip your camera bag when in the field.
I had just changed batteries, reached down for my tripod and heard things tumbling out of the unzipped pouch. If I had been on solid ground, I would have picked up the batteries that did the tumbling, learned my lesson and moved on. But no. I was out on a rather long rock jetty. The batteries were down a hole below several of the boulders.
Long story short, I used my tripod as chop sticks, got all the batteries and continued my shoot.
