Saw this today and had to snap a picture. Mature lady probably in her 70’s, rocking the tie dye shirt and driving the old VW. Living her best life. She was in front of me at the store and I noticed she was buying canning equipment. You go girl!

^ I like that a lot. Keep the tradition going.

A B&W rendering of a photo of one of my barn art installments. An Edison bulb fixture I made, protruding through an old panel door.

Ah, a flat windshield Super Beetle. It's a 1971 or 1972. The first year of the SB (1971) came with the earlier windshield and older, straight dash. It looks to be in nice condition.

I sold my 1971 SB two years ago. Dangerous car in today's driving environment.

I just finished this tutorial on close up bird photography using a Wifi link from the camera to a smartphone with the camera control app. I got some pretty good results while shooting hummingbirds. This approach allows you to get nice close-up shots with just about any lens while you control the camera from 25 feet away.

Thistle opened today in the field, and the butterfly was all over it

Once again excellent video! and thanks for the tutorial!

Some days you just need to take the red Baby out for some air…and maybe a beer

Very nice ! A friend is just finishing his red baby. Is yours a 55?

 

[levindb]

Yes it is....good eye!

Thanks. No - it was handheld. I'm usually looking to catch birds in flight, so I carry my camera without a tripod

If you don't mind, I'd like to send your pic to my friend - it will get him more motivated to finish his.

A wildflower hike at Sunrise, Mt Rainier National Park last week. Edith's Checkerspot butterfly on an Ox-Eye-Daisy.

This is just a snapshot, but the exact same location in 2013.

Yep - same spot. Near Stony Hill - our turnaround point on the Tundra Wilderness Tour. Rare to get a clear shot of the mountain due to clouds.

Our Airbnb had a great pano shot of Denali at sunset with a lake in the foreground. I think that photo was taken near the park road at Wonder Lake - near the end of the road at Camp Denali - about 30 miles west of our photo location. I'd like to go there, but that would probably require a stay at Camp Denali.

Also - permafrost has melting for more than a decade causing the park road to become unstable. A bunch of engineers were studying it while we were there, and a contractor was fixing settlement and rock slide damage.
