They love the cool weather before enduring hard winters.
Beautiful fall day at 8,000 feet
Sunrises and sunsets can make for spectacular photo opportunities.
Ding Darling for birds. Is it open after last year’s hurricane?
Stunning is an understatement!

Can anyone here resist carrying a camera to an activity (Or resist using the camera in the phone) and just enjoy the view or activity by immersing themselves in the view or activity and putting it into memory with all the emotions/feelings associated with where you are and resist taking photos?
Or can you just not resist keeping glass, metal and plastic between you and what is unfolding before you?
Perhaps we become too gear involved today to actually develop memories of the moment.
I see people living every event, concert recital totally through a cellphone screen or other camera.

As others have said, this is a very interesting and thought-provoking question for many of us.
I can tell you that, for me, I really enjoy streaming a slideshow of random “my best” photos to a large screen tv and just letting it play and repeat. The memories that are rekindled are special and would not have been possible without my taking photos over the past years. They bring me joy and happiness as I grow older.
I have learned not to haul a dslr and lenses unless: I am traveling solely by car and I am going someplace where I expect some unique opportunities or subjects that an iPhone won’t record (wildlife).
I recently made the mistake of flying to Yosemite and Tahoe, carrying my canon 80d and several lenses. What a waste of limited energy! My iPhone would have taken 95% of those taken with the what seemed like 1,000 lbs of equipment. Never again.
My most important and memory-inducing photos have friends and family in them.
My lenses are canon 100-400, 24-105, 50, 10-18.
Headed to Yosemite and Tahoe this month. Don’t want to carry too much.
What canon lenses would you advise?
Thanks in advance

We have to get out early now because of the heat. It does help on sun angle.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Exceptional.
Doesn’t seeing such beautiful, complicated things beg the question, “how did they get here on earth?”
It did for me.
In attempting to clean out the house, I came across a couple of boxes of cd’s, probably a couple hundred all in cases and in good shape. In this day of internet music at your fingertips, is it worth it to download them onto the computer? Or, should I just try to sell them or give them away? What have you done with yours?
