Sorry to hear, Irene. Best wishes to you all for a successful procedure.

Haha yeah there are five hydrants in a row here, each one with different art. The patrons aren’t too good about waiting in line when it’s really busy, though :rolleyes:

Ready for fire at the local dog park

I think Yogi Berra is credited with the line, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." So today I came to a fork in the road. I took it(s picture). OK, OK, then I actually took it. If you see Yogi, please tell him the fork makes a friggin loop.

Found this guy sleeping on the job.

Congrats! Love the F3HP! That little 85 f/2 is a sweet lens, too - awesome combo!

Prairie bird-viewing area in a local wildlife zone.

An outtake from a commercial gig I dragged the Zf along on today...

Wow, vive la difference! Nice work! But also wow, how tedious! Glad you were able to get your camera apart, cleaned, and back together again safely, Andrew. Thanks so much for sharing the process.

Early one morning late last week I was poking around on the Ricoh Pentax US website, looking at specs of the new GR HDF cameras. I've enjoyed my GRIIIx that I've had for a year or so (had kind of a love/hate relationship with it for a while but I finally warmed up to it). Since then, I've toyed...

Today I was playing with some handheld nature close-ups. This really isn't the lens for that - I like its character but it's not really very sharp at minimum focus, especially wide open. It was still fun making some snapshots of my neighbors' tree.

Posting late. Unexpectedly had to drive out of state yesterday. Stopped for a late lunch at a local “buffet” restaurant in a small town somewhere in Missouri. Though I made this photo while no diners were at the buffet, the place was hopping at 3pm. iPhone snap.

Roamed a couple back alleys today, but didn't come up with much I liked. Including this, haha.

Tried my grandma's old recipe for "slightly out of focus flapjacks" today. They were a bit ugly, and indeed slightly out of focus as you can see, but they tasted pretty good.

Ever the weird napper

So I posted about a wire bison sculpture over in the SiA thread for today, 13 April, and also in the outtakes thread. Five meters away from that sculpture is a prior sculpture by the same artist, Jeff Best of Clare, MI - of an elk. To me this one doesn't seem as refined as the bison, and is an...

Day 13 outtakes. I was walking at a local prairie park today that just installed a new wire sculpture of an American Bison. Paraphrased from my description in the main thread, the bison sculpture is life-size (6 ft / 2m tall) and constructed out of reclaimed barbed wire from a South Dakota USA...

This is the head and "horn" of a wire sculpture of an American Bison, by sculptor Jeff Best of Clare, Michigan. The entire bison sculpture is life-size (6 ft / 2m tall), weighs 700 pounds / 318 kg, and is constructed out of reclaimed "barbed wire" from a South Dakota USA ranch. It took 2 miles /...

Sculpture and trees

Found this 1968 textbook (complete with dated cash register receipt from the university bookstore) in one of those "little free library" stands. Just in time for today's, um, safety shot.

Day 11 outtake.

I was enamored by the lighting pulley system in the restaurant in which I had lunch today.

Hahaha, I actually have one of those radios 🥸 It takes a lot of cranking to make it through Stairway to Heaven though.

I suspect delivery is rather expensive.

Left behind by a graffiti artist, I believe
