    Thought for the day:

    Sometimes the point is not so sharp and well defined as we would like it. All we can do is try to focus on the positive and forget the negative. Even that sometimes is not enough. All we can try to do is Accentuate the Positive and strive to move forward! GPR

    You have been Officially Mooned!

    On the spur of the moment last night I couldn't pass the chance to take a few Super Moon shots. I hooked up the 1.4X extender to my 400 mm. telephoto. Put them on my Canon 7D, set the camera to Manual setting. Adjusted the ISO to 400, aperture to F/13, and set the shutter to 1/320th. of a...

    It is with a Sad and heavy heart:

    Just a Gnarly Old Tree with a view

    Audrey, I would guess well over 100 years. I know for a fact that it was an adult tree when I was a little kid. I'm 65 years old and have been visiting the old tree several times a year all of my life. :) Sadly, as you can see there is only 1 limb left on it that is still alive. :( GPR
