Thanks, everyone. Think I will grab the brass ring! Happy Thanksgiving. Vera

Considering buying a D500 while it’s on sale. The last time I bought a new Nikon body on sale, within 3 months a newer model was introduced. So I am skeptical. I would welcome and appreciate your thoughts on whether Nikon might introduce a new DX flagship soon or if they are putting their advances into mirrorless. Have a nice selection of DX lenses so I am not going to go FX or mirrorless at this point. Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving. V
Great shots and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thanks again for the observations and personal experiences. I have a couple of travel books (the Fodor variety, etc) but your personal knowledge is so much better. 😃
Gatorcoach-I appreciate that sentiment. Probably if I was on my own I would be more tempted to do the same. My travel partner husband appreciates my interest in photography but I don’t want to make him sit for hours while I do my thing. So hopefully I have a good compromise! I look forward to hearing about your trip and seeing some pics on UH! Thank you. Vera
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I think that since I am not concerned about shooting raw and my skill level is nothing special, I am going to take my P900 and my backup point and shoot. That will give me room to lug a monopod. Thanks again. Vera
Good morning - I am taking a leisurely trip through several of the western parks in late-summer (Glacier, Yellowstone, etc and then the southern Utah parks and Grand Canyon). I have a Nikon P900 and a D7000. I have a variety of lenses for the D7000 but no one really good wide-angle lens. At the other end, I’ve had GAS to get a Nikon 200-500 Lens or a Sigma 150-600. I am trying to decide if I should just take the P900 which will be easy to wag around, or take the D7000 and appropriate lenses. We won’t do a ton of hiking and my skill level is far from you who post in this forum. But I would appreciate any thoughts and recommendations. I don’t want to be so busy trying to get the perfect shot that I fail to enjoy the scenery! Thanks in advance. Vera
Thanks to each of you for your comments, recommendations, and personal preferences. Gives me some good data as i continue my search. 😀 Vera
I know this is a photography blog, but I am looking for bird-watching binoculars to take along with my cameras. I checked the existing binoculars posts here and they are pretty stale-dated. I’ve done a fair amount of research so that I have a pretty good idea regarding specs and features. I can’t find any of the models I am considering in a store anywhere near me so I can touch and look. So to help in narrowing my list of possibles, thought I would ask the group for opinions regarding the models you use. Looking at Swarovski, Nikon, Steiner, and Vortex. I would welcome and appreciate any personal observations. Thanks. Vera
Amazing shots. What camera/lens combo are you shooting with?
i think it's a Star of Bethlehem (Grass Lily).
Great shots, and as a rank amateur who looks to this site for knowledge and information, I really appreciate that you posted the lens you used and the distance.
