My wife Kathy asked me to cut her some parsley in the back yard for a smoothie, and when I got to the parsley bucket I found this fellow.

A bit of quick research,and surprise, he's a parsley worm! How in the world he found his way to this bucket is beyond me.

Anyway, the note said they do more good than harm, so I let him be.

Also - if you use a drone in a business (which this is), you must register it and get a pilot's license!

I'd be sure there's a market before I put a lot of time and money into it. Talk to a few realtors, ask them how they get their photos, if they're happy with them, would they consider paying for outside photos that are a lot better than what they're using now.

I would definitely avoid an expensive class that may teach you skills that are ultimately unmarketable.

There's a buckeye tree in my neighborhood. As fall approaches, the seedshells dry out and split open, dropping the nuts to the ground.
Found this one on my morning walk today, just beginning the slow process of dropping its nut.

What kind of audio are you recording, Jerry?
If singing, the industry standard is the Shure wireless SM58. Most of the top rock stars use it in concert.

I remember Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares. The question was, "What's the best-selling non-meat sandwich?"

And Paul answered, "The Big Mac."

And McDonald's sells more beef than [fill in name of any super-pricey restaurant here].

Sorry, didn't mean to run this concept into the ground.

I've never believed that. I pride myself on getting more for my money than the average consumer.

I did weddings, newspapers, and magazines 50 years ago, now I just dabble a bit.

My field of expertise is not photography, but metal detecting ("treasure hunting"). And one of the legends of treasure hunting, Karl von Mueller, said "A professional treasure hunter using a beginner's machine will outhunt a beginner using a professional machine."

I suspect this is also true with cameras. I know that I have taken shots with my pocket point-and-shoot that are better than most of my DSLR shots, mainly because I have that camera with me 24/7, and I often see shotworthy setups that I'm not expecting.

Seems to me that the photographer's skill and experience are responsible for choice of subject matter, composition, lighting, etc - those factors that separate the great from the okay. Skill and experience trump camera brand, don't you think?

The day I was there, Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, and Judge Crater were there too.

This is our neighborhood hawk. He stays in a tree about a block from me and often visits our area. Yesterday he was sitting on a neighbor's fence when I was walking my dog. I pulled out my pocket camera and snapped this shot.

My wife's facebook friend made a hat for another friend, and took a couple of photos.

The hat does NOT have a helicopter propeller on top!

A second earlier, he was hanging upside down on that thing! So I missed the really great shot!

Shot through my back window today.

JohnK, I think all of us who have been around for a while have lost a lot of our favorite magazines in all genres.

In photography, I remember The Rangefinder, a magazine free to professionals but not available to the public (I did weddings back in the 1970s).

And as a fisherman I miss Sports Afield, and though Field & Stream is still around, it's nothing like it used to be.
