Just some shots from around the state. Hope you enjoy.
After spending 1 1/2 years in Texas I found the state to be much more than anticipated, water and green were not among the list of favorites. USAF knew what it was doing when it placed one of it's Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) bases in Big Spring, TX. There was absolutely nothing to divert our attention from the aviation training we were there to receive. We even had to travel 40 miles to Midland just to feast on a Big Mac with mickey D's fries. One of our Iranian students found and marked a tree for a reference point. An aviation super-star name of Connie Edwards had his ranch a few miles away and occasionally we stood down when he came out to play. He was the aviation consultant for the war movie "The Battle of Britain" and was paid for his services with old, vintage aircraft. In his arrival message the base commander told us we were in the "exact dead-center of absolutely nowhere" and he knew of what he was speaking. I did enjoy the time spent in Texas. I was able to visit and see several shrines like Padre Island and the Alamo, and the golf course on base was green during the month of June. Nine months after graduating I had been to Saigon, Viet Nam, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Amman, Jordan, and several other places I had only read about. Texas had been my "jumping-off" point for a part of my life I never saw coming. During the next three years I was able to travel all over the northern hemisphere. The Viet Nam conflict ended and I was no longer in Texas! Life was good.

Who values the opinion of someone as immature as Zac Watson? His family portrait shows him as being a child.

What would you suggest for a new computer for processing photo's using Lightroom and Photoshop? I have a Nikon D850 and shoot in RAW and use an external hard drive. I currently have the iMac 27" which my husband will inherit! I've been using iMac for the past 15 years but open to anything you'd suggest. Thanks in advance for your input!
Everyone has a budget for almost everything. MACs are made for artists, no matter what other say, and photographers are definitely artists. Whoyagonna call when things go sideways with Gates's Follies? Apple Care is just one great features to remind you of those 15 years of pain-free computing. Remember the two kinds of computer users: Those who have switched, and those you have not yet seen the light.

Few members of UHH know what really boring tech manuals are. While in USAF pilot training I had the chance to look through a copy of the B-52 flight manual. Section three (3) of each aircraft manual deals with emergency procedures. The edges of each page are "barber poled" as a reminder of the seriousness involved. Section 3 of the B-52 manual has a procedure for "Landing with 4 (four) engines inoperative on one wing." Life doesn't get any tougher than a pilot trying to learn how to do that. Camera manuals are too tough? So are walking and chewing gum at the same time.

If it makes you feel better! I felt better after my rant.
You deserve to feel better. You pointed your finger at approximately 70% of the users of UHH and told them how foolish they are. The words you wrote hit directly at laziness and few people like to admit that fault. How often do people ask for “ help” and be told the exact location of the information they seek, and that location is a page from the owner’s manual? Happens almost daily. Very few seem willing to work for something if they can get someone else to do it for them. Slackers seem to think buying a camera makes them a photographer. Imagine early pioneers of photography using that philosophy. You hit the whiners directly in the seat of their pants. Thank you very much for your honesty.

From what I have only seen on FB, someone pays $37 to join and submit photos and they are “judged”. I see people I know getting “awards” and it gets posted on FB.
Any merit to this group or is that the wrong word to use?

The only difference between "scam" and "scheme" is one letter.

Sometimes, Mel, I wonder why I lug my camera around so much. It's moments like this that make it all worthwhile. That guy could really make that guitar jump up and dance.
Stay safe, brother.

This bird showed up this afternoon on our feeder. NE Florida (Jacksonville area). We cannot find anything exactly like this bird in our books. It has a conical beak like a grossbeak. I could not get a picture including the tail as she flew off when I tried to work around to another side.
Your bird appears to be a female adult. Goldfinch spend winters in your area (the southern states across the country) and is considered native in all lower 48 states.

Latest rumored specs for the coming Canon R1 flagship camera. Are you Canon users interested to get this?
Canon users realize 2024 is an Olympiad Year. Olympics and Canon's Flagship 1 Dx cameras are synonymous.
