Longshadow,
That's what i use, I have 4 of them. Best built!
Good to have you. I was a crime scene photographer also.
YEP, corn snake. Very similar to a black snake or garter snake; harmless and beneficial. Don't kill!
Avast has worked well for me for years; no charge.
Great pictures and location.
I once owned that lens but sold it after I went to the Sigma 150-600. I was very happy with the lens but did not need two that covered the same distance.
You and the Mrs. have done a wonderful job of documenting your trip.
Good luck in your search for sanity.
Brought back memories of their show in Rockford, Il.; early '70s. Thanks! My wife and I had been married a couple of weeks; wonderful time.
