Craig from Nevada

Wow, a beautiful morning and some wonderful images.  Very nice light.

Beautiful.  The last and only lens you will need.

Is this the total bill, or merely a first installment?

Thanks, Dave. As for the empties, Dicky has assumed full responsible for these as noted in his post immediately above.

It is a beautiful butterfly and a very large one.  I was sitting on my second floor balcony when I spotted it.  I grabbed my camera and ran out to the garden and managed a number of photos.  Good ...

Not always, Rich.  The dry season is coming and soon the hills will be brown.  At least the garden here at the condo is irrigated and as a consequence it is always green.

Thanks, Andrew.  It was a very large and photogenic butterfly. I think the photo of the empties turned out well.

Sunny and 32C today. The Canadians are here in mass.

It is lovely here right now.  The rains have ended, and the landscape is green for the moment.  It will turn brown later in December.  This is a great beach for walking in the surf.

Very nice Charlotte.  I like the image of the apple in the snow.

A white lens for the white bird. Congratulations on your acquisition.  The price of the lens is probably very small compared to the leverage upper management at your house now holds over you.

Tis the season for trash spotting. You can work some snow into the images. Empties on a cold snowy day in Sweden--the desolate winter landscape--it's cold, snowy and out of beer.

Impressive image, Rich. You have all the latest technology to assist you in finding the skies.

A very large butterfly Bonus Pic.

That was the morning temp, Rich.  It was in the mid-80 by afternoon with some nice breezes.  It is okay down here.

Thanks, it is.  Nice day yesterday.

I thought a hardy Scotsman such as yourself would find the cold bracing and invigorating.

It's a terrific camera.

My walks right now are a bit warmer than yours.  Although it might be snowing/raining back in Nevada today.  I am in the right place.

A nice series, Andrew.  The reindeer don't look like an energetic pair.  Hopefully, Santa's team has a bit more energy this year.
