We have passed by this area many times. Now we have an excuse to stop by to explore it. Heading from CT to Merritt Island this weekend, brrrr. Greg.

Actually when a DX lens is used on an FX camera you get less than half, my D750 in FX mode is 6000x4000 (24mp), but in DX mode it's 3936x2624 (~10mp). I discovered this when I tested my DX 10-20mm lens (for my D5600), switched back to my 24-120 FX, and didn't notice the camera did NOT return to FX mode automatically. Lesson learned. Greg.

I feel your pain too. CT and western MA are pretty dull this year. I had to do some research when I saw your photo, suspension bridge? Where are the cables? Thanks for expanding my knowledge base. Greg.

They closed in 1986. Honeywell Information Systems treated their employees and spouses to a 4 day 3 night 'treat' back around 1978. We still chuckle about how when our server brought my wife her roast beef dinner and she said 'it looks a bit dry'. He took his serving tongs and flipped it over on the plate. Problem solved.

I hit a fawn in VT while going to college and the state paid for the repairs. Check with your state.

On an unrelated subject, is your 'avatar' from 8/21/2017? We drove up from Florida to Santee for the experience of a lifetime. Greg.

I say it's a female Downy. Hairy's are a bit larger (though this photo doesn't have much to gauge size by). Hairy's also have a flatter forehead.

A priests regular caddy was unavailable, so he asked a nun to caddy for him. On the 3rd hole he misses a 3 foot putt and exclaimes 'God dammit, I missed'. The nun cries out 'Father, you can't use the Lords name in vain'. The priest apologizes. Later on the 12th hold he misses a 2 foot putt and once again exclaimes 'God dammit, I missed'. The nun once again scolded him, and he apologizes again, and says 'if I should use the Lords name in vain again, a bolt of lightning should come from the heavens and strike me dead on the spot'. All goes well until the 18th hole when he misses from only 1 foot from the cup. He shouts out again, 'God dammit I missed'. Suddenly the skies darken, clouds begin swirling and the nun and priest stare at each other with looks of consternation. Suddenly a bolt of lightning comes from the heavens and kills the nun instantly. Then a booming voice is heard from high above 'God dammit, I missed'.

And those 8 lug wheels, very Pontiac.

NewEgg caved in to the CT Department of Revenue Services. They provided the state with names and addresses and items purchased by CT buyers. Then the DRS sent tax bills to all those reported by NewEgg. At least the state had to 'work' to get the tax revenue. NewEgg now collects CT tax at the time of purchase. My neighbor will no longer buy from them.

Yes, the males are black where this one is brown.

I took these pics on May 10, 2018 at 1:08pm EDT while poolside at our condo in Florida (Merritt Island). There was a thin haze at what I believe was a low altitude and when I looked up I saw a large ring or halo around the sun. I took these 3 photos with my cell phone while lying on my back. The strange halo was the main reason for taking the pictures, but when I looked at them later on my computer screen I saw an even stranger small object travelling across the sun. Any comments on both subjects would be welcome.

That's quite a picture. We returned to CT a year ago only to discover we had a stowaway (anole). Our daughter adopted it, bought an aquarium/terrarium and feeds it tiny crickets. I bet it would love a grasshopper too. Greg.

Nice catch, all I ever seem to see is just two nostrils breaking the water. Greg.

It can be really hard to get any photos around the London area without a plane in the sky! Greg.
