Great series of sharp, colourful shots! Thanks for sharing.

Agree with you totally Richard. We just gifted some extra camera gear to a grandson to get him started in photography.

The fifty and three hundred are especially good

If I could do images like those, I'd feel justified to gather up a lot of lenses too!
I'm glad you were able to report success in your 2021--it was a bit scary there for a bit.
Glad you are shooting good shots again.
Angky.

Thank you very much. 2021 was one of the worst years of my life. The pandemic restrictions, my liver infection and gall bladder removal, etc. I missed the summer completely, having to stay bedridden the whole month of August. The Fall was filled with tests and health evaluations to make sure I would "survive the surgery" (interesting prospect, indeed). Then the surgery itself and recuperation. I lost almost 50 pounds between August and November and I am still amazed and grateful I survived the ordeal. The year 2022 can only be better (I hope) or I'm no better than dead.

Regards
