My father celebrating his 100th birthday. If I didn't already own the 77, I'd have bought it just for this occasion.

Terrific shot Dave. Hope you are blessed with those longevity genes. My father passed away at 54 so I think it is wonderful that your family has been so fortunate.

Cheers.

Great shot! He looks so happy with a sparkle in his eyes. I think your dad would like you to buy a new lens for the occasion - there must be something you are longing for......

My mother at 87, a year before she died from Alzheimer's.
Dad's and a Mom's...amazing creatures. You never realize how great until they are gone.

Thanks for the comments everyone! He did enjoy himself (as we all did ;~) So sorry for your loss, Nelson--I'm sure you treasure that that photo.

77 does the job perfectly. Your father seems 77 with it not 100.
