Really great pictures posted today, guys!


Spring is ending a little early for us this year. We'll have our first 100° day today, and it'll stay there for the next week. I went for an early bike ride like I usually do, and it seems like everyone else had the same idea. So many joggers and bikers. It's like New Year's in reverse. Every day, more and more people tired of sitting at home and deciding to go out and exercise... in a socially-distant way.

I only stopped for one picture, of power lines marching through the distant land of Mesa. SMC 135/2.5.

Did you just assume gender roles? Are you meaning to say braiding is beyond my skill set?! (which of course it is... but that's not the point!)

Haha, thanks again
It isn't beyond my skill set, but is definitely beyond my patience limits. Sorry for applying my male perspective to your post.

SMC Takumar 55mm f/2 at f/2.8 I think. I couple of toys recently passed from my niece to my daughter.

I had an amateur moment with the Tak - for around fifteen minutes I was trying to get a sharp, in-focus shot, even stopping down to f/5.6 for increased DoF, before I realised the lens was on "auto" so my changes to the position of the aperture ring were doing nothin. Doh!

Ha ha! Yes, being confined to the house & garden means you have to use what you've got. There are a few more of these toys around (a snake, an elephant, a cow) so might have aplay to see what I can come up with.

The Tak family takes exception to the unkind characterization of one of its ...shorter members.
