Are you nuts? What a stupid remark.

I received my new camera from 6 Ave Electronics this week. It's a relatively compact full frame 60mp beauty with a fixed 28mm f 1.7 lens. I'll need a lot more time on it before it will feel comfortable, but here are a few photos.
these are straight out of the camera.
Sorry, but I don’t see anything in these very ordinary photos which would tempt me or justify a $6,000 price. No disrespect intended to you personally.
I take photos to remember the beauty, the people, the place, the fun, the unique moment in time that struck me, and to record what i was doing in a particular year.
I often go back and look at the photos which inspire good and enjoyable memories which would not be pulled up without the photo.
I have heard that our brains retain all of our experiences, almost like a video. (See, “Defending Your Life”).
The problem is that we can’t access all our memories. My photos help retrieve them.
What a time! Terrific photos and memories for you. Don’t you feel sorry for the many people across the world who don’t have such reminders?
“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....”

Good suggestions. I thought people would be interested in seeing this unusual creature.
Saw this on our drive south, right off of I95 in NC.
What do you think?
Difficult to get around in winter?
