ROTFL!!!

Looks like an early rendition of a Good Humor man … udderly hilarious! 🤓🤪

Wonderful image VV. Even in marginal weather, Hawaii is wonderful!

We had a mother quail and chicks around for a couple os days in late February/early march and I have no idea where the found a way into the backyard over, under, or through a six foot high concrete block wall…. Now we have a male and female but no kids… I don’t know whether they survived or succumbed to the local kitty population. Love the little green bug on the flower! JohnV

I’m thinking back and coming to the realization that much of my fascination with photography came from discovery. Discovery of nature; physics, people, and time. Paul makes a lot of great points, particularly when we consider the marvels of technology that enable us to continue to enjoy photography when our vision gets poorer; our reflexes are slower and our thinking is…uh …I forget where I’m going with this. I use mostly Olympus and LUMIX cameras ever since the lat 1960’s when I fell in love with compact gear in the SLR genre, but I still wish I kept my pocketable Kodak Retina for sentimental reasons. That being said, I confess I really use my iPhone for most of my imaging because it’s there whenever I’m in need and not toting my “real” cameras. Additionally, I’m also toting a pocket full of apps that let me “play” with images and learn instantly if some are salvageable. Life is good… thanks for the memories. Technology is great; however, there are some things that are made a whole lot easier when a knowledge of the science of imaging is in your bags of tricks.

Mother Nature I milking and winking at you, Mike.

Really neat image! I don’t know much about mushroom varietals (actually, nothing) is this a single mushroom or a “colony” of mushrooms? Sorry, my ignorance shouldn’t be your problem. All of your images draw me in to ponder and study… you’re one of the highlight's of my day. Thanks!

All super; the last is even superber 🤓

Maybe he’s prematurely grey from being overly successful!?😉

Whut? You mean you ADDED that in post? Ingenious….

Unique aspect angle! Very nice shot!!!

Little feller,ain’t so little… must already be packing it away for next winter.🤓

Thank you for the tour. Whether it’s an e-bike, or a leisurely hike, the only good view I get this time of year is via imagery; otherwise it’s itchy; puffy; swollen eyes, and a runny; sneezing nose until the flowers and pollen subside. I actually outgrew the allergies when I hit my twenties, but since retiring the old hay fever stuff has returned with a vengeance. Somebody “upstairs” has a very warped sense of humor. The e-bike thing; however, sounds like it might be my kind of exercise😎.
