A workmate had purchased a Canon AT-1and we had some fun with it. Inspired me to purchase my first SLR of the same make. A couple years later I bought AE-1 for my wife. This pair lasted many years, B/W in one, color in the other. First digital was Canon PowerShot G-1, that and a G-4, worked for a awhile. I've had Canon 60D a few years. While I like it, I still need to learn so much about how it works to get it to work like my film cameras.
Bob, you consistently post your many photos which really appeal to me. I like your eye and your ability to present outstanding photos!
My friend and I have been having this discussion for a couple weeks on the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken". Coincidently, I think your photos wonderfully demonstrate it...
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost (1916)
And by the photos, it indeed did make a difference.
Ah! Tithonias (Mexican Sunflowers). I grew them last year and enjoyed them. Next year they will replace a couple of tomato plants in the family plot!
Hear! Hear! I loved them as well.
I'm also the odd man out. I like #2 because of the nice photographic busy-ness on the left side and the calm emptiness on the right side. Cheers!
Yes, very nice. The tomato is also my favorite.
I love the spring when the tree leaves are half engaged, like in #2... So lacy and feathery.
Beautiful picture of the aspens, rivals their fall colors!

Regis,
I would love it, do you need my e-mail? While I've enjoyed your regular postings of birds, this one speaks to me quite a bit differently!
The photo of the dragonfly is amazing, not only the dragonfly, but the vegetation it's on. The photo is spot on and if I had a copy, it would be displayed where everyone could enjoy.
Nice! Butter-butt we call them...
Remarkable, I am envious at your talent!
