Thank-you Levina ~
I put my camera in a bag for the walk home but kept taking it out again and again for flower shots lol. I read the 5Dc is not known for its weather sealing...

Rain can be great. Those are just lovely, Will.

I would come home with my the 5D just about soaked. It did survive everything, but from then on I always carried a small bin bag that I could put around the camera+lens, keep it in place with a rubber band around the lens.. That has worked pretty well for me. Although you can also buy a rain cover in the shop of course. They're not expensive. But my DIY protection works just as well, except it doesn't look as good as those that you buy in the shop. I'm a bloody goody two-shoes!

Do folks ride bikes through the winter, or is it like Canada where we ride a bike during the first snowfall because the snow surprised us and got caught in it riding home from work?

It's probably the same here. Some people also just got off their bicycle and walked the rest of the trip home. Although not the young of course, 'cause they can't fall or break anything, now can they? I'm a bloody goody two-shoes!

So sorry to hear this. That's gotta be tough. The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it.
