If you've got one (or several), you know where to plonk them down.

Some clouds from the front garden.

I guess that I've spent way too much time picking maitake mushrooms lately. The clouds look like the florals that the fungus produces.
Or, should I have said "Absolutely delicious"?

My son told me that it looked like something produced by the Hubble Telescope.

I can live with that.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

Not keen on grasshoppers, so I might stand back from that last shot.

i was really surprised at how close that grasshopper allowed me to come to him. i thought for sure that he would jump off as soon as i clicked the shutter, but he allowed me to get to within 6 inches of him and shoot pictures. he was still on the flower when i walked away.

I took a pic of an enormous slug on the dooryard beech. Still in camera, waiting to get all my lost files updated. And whatever the problem, blame the Russians. Not.

That is an amazing capture of an extraordinary scene. I think even Turner would flip at the sight.

My research into cameras became confusing, so I decided to just stick with my small point-and-shoot compact camera for now. I don’t know how ‘serious’, or not, I want to get yet. I looked and handled a few at the camera shop, and I quite like a variety of fujifilm cameras. My first digital camera, which I used for years was a compact fujifilm camera. I always liked it’s sensitivity and quality at low light. There's even one that looks and feels similar to a Nikon FM film camera, and has more similar manual adjustment, which I really like.

If I can just figure out how to keep the brightest areas from blowing out with my canon compact; and/or use the camera’s limitations (and my own, technically) to an advantage.

Experimenting ...

Do you want me to post a friday night thread next week? I do appreciate your keeping things going, and if I can help, let me know.
