It seems there is a bit more availability of late. I was at Binny's this past week and they had a good amount of BT Kosher Rye on the shelf. That was generally held in the back room, but now they're putting it on the shelf. And they seem to be receiving regular shipments that are making it...

I swear they come to the window and pose. The wife came back all excited yesterday telling me to grab my camera because the hummingbirds were in front of our picture window posing again! 🤣

The hummingbirds just showed up again!!! Literally right outside our window staring in at us. I'd love to take credit, but they were posing...

...funny you say that!!! I'm trying to work on the artistic part of photography, and took a class in the spring on the History of Photography where I was introduced to Saul Leiter (he was untrained and yet really changed the world of photography in the 50's and 60's). That was exactly what I...

Images from our visit to Pikes Market in Seattle. Nothing like "fresh restrooms" to boost your mood! :-)

In Saul Leiter style - a photo I took while on a tour of downtown Seattle. The bus windows made pretty cool reflections!

This is the ONLY copperhead I like. Much less scary, but nearly as deadly! :) 2 ozs. of a GOOD bourbon (not the cheap stuff - flavor matters!) 1/2 oz Drambuie 1/2 oz. Amontillado Sherry 3-4 good shakes of Orange Bitters

A couple of shots from the feeder earlier this week. Lots of youngsters lately!

You need to invite me over to the smoking chair next to your smoking chair. I'll even bring a camera, suitable cigars and my best bourbon for the privilege! I do have some nice Islay Scotch that will do in a pinch, if the bourbon is not to your liking...

…and then we have the disagreements about who gets what from the suet cake. 🤭

The parents have been bringing the kids to the feeders lately. Been interesting to see the new crop!

Returned last week from a cruise in Alaska - and holy crap did we see the eagles!!!

Doesn't Gary smoke Acid's and Macanoodles? 🤢 I saw it too but I will relinquish my point to split between Thinde and Texas Traveler. Good luck boys! 😁

I’ve been hoping to see indigo buntings and bluebirds at the dressers, but no such luck! We have a ton of house sparrows, redwing blackbirds, brown headed cowbirds, grackles and European starlings chasing anything away that is remotely interesting! But - I did catch a great shot of a red...

Beautiful Great Horned Owl hanging in the trees behind the house, posing for a Portrait!

I'm still learning brother!!! Your night shots and astro photography is stunning. You set a very high bar!

Just a quick playing around with the Z8 and a Sigma 150-600mm lens. I’m very impressed with how I was able to set up the shot. Heading to Alaska in a few weeks and can’t wait to see what I’ll capture there! Hopefully it will be to JoeMO standards!!! 😎

Not sure how many are playing with Photoshop but the new “Beta” version is amazing! Did this with the new AI interface. I call this one the “Psychedelic Starling”.

Just picked up a Nikon Z8 with a Sigma 150-600mm “Contemporary” lens. Had a sweet trade up deal through Nikon on my Z7II (loved the Z7II). Absolutely loving how thez8 and Sigma are working so well together! The autofocus system is like nothing I’ve ever seen - amazing in the speed it locks in...
