Back to basics aka Binos

Here we are in the height of observing season and I am finding myself grabbing my binos rather than my scopes! I don't know why I'm doing this, if it's laziness on my part or if I'm drifting back into Bino viewing. Of course there is nothing better than a scope to view the planets and split double stars and get up close and personal with the globs and the moon, but I just find sheer delight in panning the sky and Milky Way and drinking in the sight of the clusters, globs, nebula and colored stars with my 10x70 Fujis or my 10x50 Orion Vistas.
I'm almost wondering if the day will come when I part with my scopes and strictly do bino observing. That day is certainly NOT here yet as I love my scopes, but for some reason, I am getting urge to go back to basics, which is where I started.
