We live in SE Colorado. We saw these cloud formations from the back side. Very impressive.

Last sentence "you" should read "your"

My wife creates "One of a Kind" figures made from polymer clay. I would have difficulties photographing the range of her figures without a light box. Different colored back drops give you plenty of options for you presentations.

Every time I go through there I never fail to be impressed with the it's natural beauty.

If you have any other shots of the helicopter look for a registration number. You may be able to do additional tracking on Google as to owner(s) and or location. Good luck

You were very fortunate in that you had a Mom that could cook. I joined the Marines when I was 18. It wasn't until then that I found out fried eggs were not supposed to have burned edges. Needless to say my Mom was not the worlds best cook. My Dad was career Army; we traveled all around the world. If I had a choice between some strange or exotic food, Kim-chee, I ate that as opposed to whatever Mom served pretending to be edible.

Not that I am a critic, but. You forgot to mention the food. We never ask the hotel staff where to eat as they will invariably point out the hotels restaurant. We always ask the doorman where he lunches. Praha has some of the best little places to eat, tucked away in the side streets. My wife and I never realized there were so many ways to cook hog knuckles. BTW great set of photos.

Where was the shot taken?

I have carried an Oly for many years. Currently I have two; an EM-1 Mark III and a EM-10 Mark III. I primarily shoot the EM-1 as its performance is superb. The use of either PRO or prime glass compliments the EM-1 quite well. The EM-10 is my "hip shoot" camera. Not that expensive, compared to other cameras, coupled with a 14-42 3.5-5.6 Zuiko that collapses down to 1 inch makes for a great pocket camera. With the "10" I leave it in program mode and have found it usually shoots bang on. If I've the time I easily make adjustment to aperture or ISO.
Both are excellent cameras and I would recommend them.

Thanks Ray. I'm still working on the final inventory.

Hey Nickaroo
Just about the time I've made up my mind as to bag inventory another really good point is presented. I made my decision to go with the 12-200 due to the weight issue. I usually carry the 40-150 PRO with a 1.4 teleconverter on a heavy duty carry strap for bird shoots. As you said, the results are super. It is a good thing the bag(s) I have the dividers can be modified for specific lenses.
I will, over the next few weeks, carry both long glass' and make my decision as to who goes on vacation with my bride and I.
Thanks much to you Nickaroo and all the others for your input.
