I have mine from High School. My Science teacher said "Buy a good slide rule, you'll use it your whole life."
I gave my {circular} slide rule to my brother when I got a calculator. Sometimes, I used the university’s computer facilities to do labs when I was too lazy to press the buttons. Several calculators later, I use my smart phone to do arithmetic. I began photography using B&W film on a Kodak camera. What does all this ‘prove’, and what connection does it have to the alleged subject??

This was my dad's Keuffel & Esser when he went off to college in 1931.
It became mine when I went off to college in 1971.
It served me quite well until I was able to purchase an HP-41C (which I still have).

I still have my Commodore programmable P50 that could accept 25 program steps. It cut my time compiling marks for report cards to 1/4 what it took before.

MY wife worked in Cancer research and she had one of the early HPs back in 1974. It cost $800 (1974 only) for 8 memories. These days, I can do better with my phone.

A red squirrel moving the kids across a bridge. She still lives on the other side of the bridge.I still see her occasionally in a tree munching on a walnut from her stash.

I have 4 to 6 red squirrels living on my property full time, and I've never seen a mother squirrel moving her babies.

You probably have about 5 minutes a year/ baby to see it. I have a gray squirrel too and only saw the third wondering what the huge nut was and why she went back and forth with it until I saw the photo magnified.

I was there to find the albino gray.

It's been a long time since the last post on this thread, so I'll insert another image of a black-phase grey squirrel.

He was in that position eating while I got the camera out of the bag and snapped couple of shots. Amazes me to find he doesn't have a tight grip on the branch K3 and DA50-135

So glad to see this post is still really popular!

Here are some more from me... now with a better and more suited wildlife setup: being the Nikon D500 and 200-500mm

Walked through a local Nature Preserve last week and caught a couple of the local inhabitants.
