Thank you all for your comments. I was simply clearing my mind of some thoughts I had after reading a post about comparing the results of different cameras each using a different lens and trying to compare the results. It seemed the OP was expecting the same results and the same photo content.
I take photos for my enjoyment and if I take one that someone else likes and would like to have, I'll happily provide a copy, for a donation.

I often see and read posts about the discrepancies of results between different camera makes with different lenses on each and the resultant differences of the images. Why wouldn't there be differences? If one wants to get the same results in photographs from two cameras, why not use the same make and model camera with a lens made specifically for that camera brand? My thoughts are that for consistency in IQ, color, and resolution Use the same brand of cameras with the same brand of lens on each. We all apparently agree that one camera is going to have a slightly different color and quality than another make or even model. That's why we each have our preferred brand and model of camera. We also all have different preferences in post processing (if used) to adjust our final version of our photos. Just my thoughts and musings.

A date some will never forget...60 years ago...the great Alaska earthquake! Taken at Earthquake Park in Anchorage last September.
In 2014 my wife and I visited the museum in down town Anchorage that had much information and many photographs and displays of that fateful day. Very interesting and informative.

I went to a local Advance Auto Parts store and bought new wiper blades for mine and my wife's cars a couple years ago. The salesman asked if I wanted the guarantee. When I asked why I would want it he explained that for $5 per blade, I could return within a year and the blades would be replaced free. I would have the option of renewing the guarantee on each for the $5 fee. Having two different sized ones on my car and three separate ones on the wife's car, so I thought sure, why not? Then the salesman installed them for me. I went back this past year and got new blades installed for about one quarter the price of buying them without the guarantee, maybe less.

So are we gonna have to live with bridges <possibly> being hit then?
I think we have been living with the possibility that bridges will be struck by watercraft, shaken down by hurricanes, or damaged in many other ways by nature and man.

I constantly struggle to come up with what to shoot. Does it come randomly to you? Or do you plan and brainstorm and imagine the final picture first and then arrange to make it happen?
Do you shoot what you happened to see? Or do you create your shots?

My photos are most often a scene that has spoken to me. Others are something that I feel others may like to see. Then once in a while, my mind suggests a certain set-up that requires me to gather props or subject matter and arrange it. Then again there are the times when I am requested to take a certain type of photo, such as portraits.

I would call 1(800) Medicare (the number should be on the back of your original card) and inquire as to the veracity of the letter. I have had phone scammers ask if I have received my new Medicare Card. WHat you describe sounds like a written version of it. Call Medicare ASAP.

In the first picture, the second moose only has one antler remaining. This was the closest encounter I have had with moose, and they were fairly cooperative. The last image is a second encounter on another day. I hope you enjoy.
Some excellently awesome photos. I've ben to Alaska twice and only once saw the hind quarters of a moose as it escaped into the brush.

George, the Apex Predator of Wakodahatchee Wetlands is letting a lessor male know that he can make a deeper and louder guttural sound than the other male. Assuring all in the wetlands who is boss. Here you can see his throat filled up with air and ready to make his dominance know to all.
One formidable looking creature. He certainly does have a commanding presence.

Neither my wife nor I looked quite as good as the figures in the pic, but it resembles the night we met. Exactly one year later, we stood in front of an altar with a priest and family and friends to speak our wedding vows. That was nearly 51 years ago.

Yeah, college sports in the US is crazy and deeply corrupt. But I don't see how that would lead to its demise. Personally I don't see how anything can stop it short of a government take-over. And that won't ever happen.
If there is corruption in college level sports, what guarantees it is not also present in professional and major league sports? With the high prices for sporting events, all the hype, the huge and outrageous salaries for the players, the cost of stadiums, and on and on, can corruption be ruled out completely?
Obviously I am not a huge sports fan. However, I can appreciate that many people do get much enjoyment from watching and rooting sports. Comments are sure to be made, but please don't be too harsh, let's keep it civil.

I'm not a fan of AI images as substitution for actual photographs. That having been typed, I can accept AI as a substitution for a painting of a historical event for which no photographs would be available. In this case, I find the images very well composed, relatively appropriate and very impressive. Also, as a Christian I appreciate the message conveyed by the images. Thank you for insuring they are available for review and comment.

Bottom line: we have no control over when we die. It has been determined by a power much greater than us. When it is our time, we will leave this little, revolving ball of dirt.
