Terrific shots!! I haven't been to L&D 15. I need to make another road trip! I was at L&D 13 a couple days ago, and there were well over a hundred eagles there. Love watching them! Thanks for sharing!

Just a bit of warning before you travel. The Mississippi was frozen over from the deep cold. L & D 15 was only place near for open water. It was 68 degrees yesterday and 55 degrees Wednesday. I stopped by yesterday and saw maybe 3 eagles flying. Not worth the trip when it gets warm.
Taken at Lock & Dam 15 in Davenport, Iowa. Last weekend’s extreme cold spell brought the eagles to the L & D in high numbers.
Thanks to all of you. Tennis for me is fun to photograph. Always action
I don’t remember seeing much in the way of tennis photography in this section. Here are a few from the last couple years of two sisters. Note on the last photo how well the R6 stayed locked on the eye.
I shot these with an R6 and ef 70-200 f2.8 lens with ef-rf adapter.
What??? No shot of Touchdown Jesus?
Sorry about my silence. I had some medical issues to take care of. (Nothing too serious).
I thank everyone who replied. Most of the answers are beyond my computer knowledge. I took my computer in to the people who built it. They found a lot of problems. Something blocked the computer from automatically updating so I hadn’t gotten updates since around 2019. They had to uninstall and reinstall the operating system or something like that.
Got the computer back and so far seems good.
Oh, by the way, the J drive had come unplugged. Yes, I am an idiot. That fixed that but taking it in found other problems so all works out for the best.
I came home from a weekend away and was going to load pictures on my J drive as I usually do. I put my memory card into a reader to transfer and realized my J drive did not show up on my computer. Before I go any farther, I should add I have very little knowledge of how computers work. I frankly can’t remember if the J drive is an external drive or not.
I probably need to take the computer to a repair shop to get it resolved. I don’t know if it is a sign that the J drive failed or what. I am writing this in hopes of maybe there is a simple solution that maybe I can pull off.
I included this in main photography section since I keep a lot of my photos on the J drive. If it needs to be moved feel free to do so.
I chuckle everytime I see this picture from about 7 years ago of my grandson.
The Airport Mesa overlook is an impressive vista.

I'm sure this is going to the Attic where IMHO it clearly belongs. One armed, trained teacher or one armed cop in the school and the outcome could well have been different.
Right. Great logic. They will shoot the teacher and the cop first. I went to a Catholic grade school through 8th grade. I can just picture the nuns packing.
I got to attend a practice day at The Masters so I could take in a camera. Unfortunately a storm came in they closed the course down at 11 AM. So I only saw a small portion of the course.
