No one asked but it was taken using a Sony 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 G SSM lens. Auto focus.

Dave, do you know what type of bird that is? I was gonna guess some type of Albatross or Booby, but don't know where the photo was taken. Lovely shot no matter what species it is! Where about in Southwestern PA? I'm originally from Greensburg, a few miles north of the New Stanton interchange of the Pike.

I looked up "Masked Booby" on the Internet. I think you are correct. Now I know.....

I think it's a sea gull. I took it someplace in the Atlantic during a cruse to the Caribbean. I live on a hill top overlooking I-70 near Washington PA.

As a matter of fact, a canvas wrap of this photo hangs above my big screen TV.

A few years ago we experienced a wide spread power outage that lasted about 12 hours during a heat wave in the middle of summer. I was told that the power outage was caused by someone shooting at a groundhog and hit hitting a power transformer. I always wondered how that could happen. Now I know. They climb trees!

Don’t know anything about those lenses but the procedure (can’t really call it an operation since it only takes about 15 minutes) is definitely worth the trouble. The prep takes longer than the procedure. Takes a day or two to settle in but you will notice color changes right away.

I was nearsighted and now I see distance just fine but I need glasses to read. So my glasses habits have been inverted. That’s the hardest thing to get used to after about 70 years of wearing glasses.

The good thing is that my glasses are no long prescription. I can get my glasses at the pharmacy, the hardware store, the supermarket, etc.
Don’t know anything about those lenses but the pro... (show quote)


I have been working very closely with my surgeon for a long time. During the past year replacement lenses have been changing/improving at a rapid pace! A year ago a type of lens called the Vivity was the latest-greatest thing. The Vivity lens was touted as being able to enable me to see at both close and far in each eye without glasses. The problem with that lens is that I would not be able read small print in dim light. Also, they did not come in the strength I required. I waited until the company that makes the lens started to make then in the power I required. By then a new type of lens had been developed. This new lens makes it possible for the doctor to adjust the perimeters of the lens after the surgery by shining a bright UV light into my eye. He will be able to make fine adjustment in terms of both plus and minus diopter corrections and even make astigmatic corrections. He does not make any guarantees but he tells me that after he is done I may be able to see both close and far out of each eye without glasses. (I don't understand how that is even possible!) An alternative is that I will be able to see good at distance with my dominant right eye and that my left eye will be adjusted to read fine print up close. (Mono-vision)

The worst case is that I will be able see at a distance without glasses like you can, but will need drugstore cheaters to read fine print. All of these options sound better than how I can currently see. The surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. I look forward to it.

I must be one of the first people to be getting this lens at my doctors location. Someone from the lens manufacturing company is gong to be at the surgery to assist my doctor with the surgery! I hope they know what they are dong!

Don't go in there nervous. You will not feel a thing and you will come out of there so pleased that you'll be anxious to get the other one done.

Having recently undergone cataract removal, my favorite word is "Oxybleptic".


I have no idea what that word means but I'm scheduled for my first cataract surgery this Thursday. The doc tells me he is going to use a Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) by RxSight and I can expect to have the best vision of my life when he is done. Each lens will cost me $3200.

The other photos in the competition have been posted. It's hard to be objective but I think I have a good chance of winning a blue ribbon. This is another good photo that someone else has entered. The theme is "signs of Spring.

I agree with you and my oncologist has said those words to me. Unfortunately it dd not last long after I stopped taking the anti-cancer pills. The good news is that after they resumed giving me the pills, the cancer has seem to have gone into an even more complete remission. I don't care if I need to take the pills for the rest of my life; they work.

Another beautiful word is "cellar door."

Windows now has unzip built in… (right click and extract all on a zipped file)


Thanks, I was not sure if that was the case. Macs are same way so that is how I will do it from now on.

Problem solved! (Hopefully)
