I pulled out a good LowePro lumbar camera pack and have it airing on the patio clothesline; it held the old SLR Canon and was stored in a cupboard for years near candles so it is a bit perfumy. I'm debating about using it for the new gear (if I do I'll have enough extra space to tuck in my lunch or a water bottle). On eBay used they go for a good price. The new camera came with a garden variety bag, boxy with a shoulder strap. The lumbar pack is comfortable and allows for hands free work. And I just noticed that my digital Canon camera and gear are all stored in a Nikon bag (picked up for the size needed at the time, or maybe that camera store threw it in, I don't remember.)
Before the trash was picked up this morning I had time to prune the juniper in the corner of the front yard. Those sharp branches go out with the trash because they never seem to break down in the compost. I had trouble mowing around the lowest branches yesterday. I never come away from that task unscathed, but so far it looks like just scratches, no splinters. This has a classic juniper smell, but for consistency, think of the classic Red Cedar tree crossed with a cholla cactus.
