I actually owned one of those earlier this century. It was quite clean and gave me some good captures. I named it Hak Lung (Black Dragon). Sold it to a PF member.

I would sometimes take my Pentax DSLR along with my fly gear out on the upper Potomac. I always released the fish but often came back with some keeper photos.
More recently, I've relied on my cased iPhone camera.

We'll there was playing on the state champion lacrosse team in high school, and scoring a 65-yard touchdown (as a defensive tackle) in college but the real golden moments were on the water: a couple of nice brown trout in the Catskills, a braggin'-sized striper from the rocks at Montauk Point, a steelhead in Oregon and a 22" flyrod smallmouth bass on the Shenandoah.

There were storms in the area several days ago and I decided to play around with the HDR on my Olympus EM1 mark II in the twilight. After some experimental PP, I came up with this. I kinda like it--it has a Hudson River School feel. |

This is probably the same mangy fox who was hanging around over the winter. He seems to be hanging in but I really want to give him a bath and take him to a vet. |

The marquee bug of the moment around here, of course,is the Cicada (saw my first yesterday--which was quickly dispatched by a cardinal) but I was happy to see this caddisfly (because fishing! and also because, as a water quality indicator, it suggests that our stressed urban stream is holding it's own.)

Yep--good eye! It's fresh from the stream down in the valley.
Actually--although not an every day thing--it has happened before. Back in 2016, when the dead oak nearer the house was still standing and I was shooting with the FA*600/4, I got this.
Hmm, I think I'll revisit the pp (again ;)).

Yep, I grabbed the camera, took the shot, checked it to make sure it really was an osprey and, when I looked back, it was gone.

Not a great photo but it's not everyday an osprey shows up in the yard. |

Right--the vet had to double-check when we brought that litter in. She's fearless and the most socially outgoing cat I've ever encountered--the first (and really, only) of her litter to approach our dog, the late, gentle princess, Princess.
She also has a thing about plastic bags: I worry she'll end up at the recycling center. |
