Well lets try this here because it looks like the monthly contest is not going to work any more. Also a little story about it would be nice.:seasix:
This is one of 3 "Old Salts" that we have sitting on our steps ......after Super Storm Sandy came through and under our home and did over $250,000.00 of damage......they were still there. I wish they could talk ......the damage that was done still amazes me and I have come up with a few scenarios how it happened in here. |

These guys were messing around down at the back of our yard the other morning. There were 4, but I couldn't get all of them in one picture. I'm guessing that they're young, since they were jumping on each other, showing their teeth, etc. Also, I think their legs develop black fur as they get older?

A “gift” from Wyatt’s day care. I’m pretty sure this is the most expensive ball cap ever.

What the heck, I'll post another one... just finished processing this (well finished for now... it has some problems). Finally broke down and bought a small refractor telescope for imaging stars, nebulae, galaxies, etc. First trip out and my focus wasn't perfect so stars aren't as sharp as the scope is capable of.
The field of view is about what you would expect from a 540mm camera lens on a full frame camera. What is it? The Lagoon and Trifid nebulae are in the Sagittarius arm of the the Milky Way galaxy. If you find a dark enough location, you can see them with the naked eye and they are easily seen with binoculars. The Trifid nebula is on the left side in this photo. This section of the Milky Way is visible from Spring into the late part of Fall. |
Thanks for the photo. I have never been there..

My oldest son went to private school through grade 8, then to high school in a different school district. His primary education cost me well over $120,000. :ack: |
Quote:
Private school didn't interest us. Generally, it comes with some religious angle and that is a nonstarter. It's also worth noting that the public schools in this area are very good; vastly better than where I went growing up. When my kids get to high school, they can IB, AP, and Honors to their heart's content. We're fortunate that we have better-than-average schools in a better-than-average district. |

Well, here’s a non-bird shot. I traded in my 2012 Tahoe a few weeks ago and scored this 2018 LS. The ‘12 was an LTZ which had just about every option available. To replace it was going to cost me $75k which I’m just not willing to spend. Yeah, black wasn’t my first choice but so it goes.

Lilly was a Viet Nam nursing shortage import from Scotland to a local FW Tejas hospital.....and so we all met up in a garden apt. complex.....I broke up with my g/f and so went back to DC region....he went to work at a Miller Brew plant off the freeway outta FW...3 miles from his house that he bought brand new and the builder helped him finance it..... on a hillside like mine here..... He and I met being fellow geeks on the screwal bus....he had a Heathkit Oscilloscope with him and I about went ape shit to see another kid who knew WTF it even WAS, let alone taking it to the ham radio club.....he was 2 years younger than me..... Last I saw his house, it looked like a CIA/NSA/DIA/NASA watch station...more antennas then they had..... :sadangel: |

About the second shot. I posted this on a FB wildlife page and a woman responded with the eye roll smiley and made the statement; Come on people that's a puppet. You can clearly see the persons arm. :yesnod: |

Taken about six hours ago. If I had to estimate based on past experience I'd say Herm here is 14-15 weeks old.

This is old... taken in 2009 when I'd just gotten my first decent digital camera, a Canon 50d. I didn't get out to shoot fireworks last year so did a quick re-edit. Missed out this year too, so will just post the oldie.

In L-A, the June Gloom. It's foggy in the AM and then burns off to a sunny day.
https://i.imgur.com/PXPCmLe.jpg So, I'm at LAX killin' time. I start taking a few pics with my super duper, no high quality cell phone.. It just so happens the first plane is a PAL, Philippine Airlines. :D https://i.imgur.com/lAQIQuD.jpg On the 405 some afternoon ~1600 aka 4pm. I encountered a "WADISIT". Used to be a VW of some sort, iirc. https://i.imgur.com/flvsDeh.jpg When High Explosive is an understatement. https://i.imgur.com/nDU86IX.jpg |
