aglake

Not quite new, but only about a week old. There were plenty of flowers, even in late September of this year, at Tower Hill Botanic Garden.  Where there are flowers, there you will also find bees.

Just to complete my list of cameras, here is a scan of a picture taken with my EF. Since I only recently picked it up again after 40 years or so, I'm still trying to work on my focusing skills.  ...

I do like what you have done with this.  I actually spent some time doing something similar to what you did here on a different shot of the same tree and house.  That's what I was going to submit ...

To finish off, this picture was taken with a PowerShot A530, my first Canon digital camera.  (My first Canon camera was an EF from 1978 - which still works.)

This picture was taken with my PowerShot G16 about four months after I got it; I was just learning how to use an advanced camera. It also finishes up the sequence of pictures: (1) aglake #1 was taken ...

The blue isn't from anything living, but there are many different shades of green showing. This is a picture of the rolling fields in the middle of Prince Edward Island. At the far right you can ...

Most of the time, grackles somewhat plain: black body with blue around the neck but when the sun shines on them, they become much more colorful.  The colors come from interference in the reflected ...

My wife and I rent a cottage from a farmer in Lower Bedeque, Prince Edward Island.  If you follow the road past our cottage to the end, you wind up at McCallum point and a great place to see the ...

I was not sure that I was going to have an entry for this challenge. But while I was visiting the Bridge of Flowers, these coins in the bubbling, rippling water caught my eye. https://pbase.com/cic ...

This is a good example of the folly of judging a picture from a thumbnail.  What makes this picture special is the subtly of the colors.  They really are luminous. I don't think you can take ...

With another good day ahead of us my wife and I headed for the Atlantic Ocean. Next to the walk over the dunes were a lot of beach roses. The blossoms were long gone but the fruit was getting big ...

I don't think that you are missing much; that's pretty much what I do.  The major difference is that I only use Canon Connect if I want to get a picture on my phone while away from home.  I always ...

The problem is worse than just fabricating a physical adapter.  You'd have to put in optics to account for the difference in where the lens focuses. A Canon EF-M lens focuses 18mm behind the lens ...

Last Saturday was a grand day: sunny but not too hot. The smoke from the Western fires had blown away leaving a beautiful blue sky. I went out to Dunn Park with my wife and my camera and came back ...

Better choices for names than my daughter & son-in-law chose: "boycat" and "girlcat". But they are loved just the same.

I made a mistake in my voting and messed up Paul's votes.  I've sent him an email but I wanted to apologize in public for screwing things up.  If his vote totals seem off, it is my fault; he did ...

Honorable Mention : Sue Anne's bird at a real zoo https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65299538 I have to admit that I have a soft spot for pictures of birds.  They're my favorite subject to ...

Challenge is now closed.  I'll have the results first thing in the morning.

One more day to go.
