New Toys!
Really Right Stuff Goodies! After 5 years of having to screw on/off my camera to my tripod head, I bought a RRS B2-Pro clamp for my Manfrotto 488 head; B5D-L L-Plate for my 5D; and a L84 lens plate for my 300mm f4L lens. No more missed shots! Our family will be camping for two [...]
No Pictures

A Catbird?
I couldn’t resist taking a picture of my cat ‘Elsie’ perching on one of my feeder/sticks trying to be one of the birds!
Resistance is futile!
Well, I decided to join the masses and create my own blog. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it shortly! Let’s see if this works…
I post all of my new nature pictures, random thoughts, and even my family pictures here. Some of those pictures never get posted to my
