I think my camera lenses were dirty or had fingerprints on them (or both). Most of the pictures I took this day were poor quality, but I didn't realize it until I downloaded them and put on my glasses.

Also, I started out at 6am because it was supposed to be a record hot day, so many of the pictures had early morning shadows and when I tried to software-adjust the photos to make them identifiable, the pictures look washed-out.

So frustrating! Note to self: clean lenses before going out in the field.
