Thanks Susan and Steve. I usually sleep a bit later on Sunday mornings, but today got up at about 5 am, to enter the Park at 6 am

Nice ones Christo. Love the crisp look of that Pano, and the look and fir detail of the vervet monkey image.

Congrat's on new DA55-300. Fine lens imo. How do you find it compared to the 50-200?

Thanks for taking a look Kevin. I got my K-x with a very good copy of the DAL 50-200mm. I am a bit surprised at the weight of the new lens, and might have to make use of the monopod when shooting my son's rugby games, but so far I'm quite satisfied with the IQ if stopped down a bit.

I really enjoyed your photos here Christo, how wonderful to live near a NP like this. Always something to take photographs of and great scenery as well. That new lens is very sharp, keep them coming.
