We have blue berries all around the house. We also have raspberries, both red and golden or yellow, and black berries. But blue berries are our primary berries. The biggest problem is keeping the deer and birds away from them.Hence the fencing and also netting late in the season to fend off the birds. But, the rewards for our efforts are delicious.

“ So David, what's chapter two in your life? Mine is Habitat for Humanity of Mesa County, Colorado.§”
Yours is the more noble.
Mine is ham radio, photography, doctor visits, and five grandchildren. And in the summer, yard work, fence repair, and helping maintain my wife’s substantial garden. We put three gallons of blue berries in the freezer last August/September. She grew them, I harvested them.

Ditto in Idaho. Having been a lawyer for 33 years, I was no longer fascinated by the legal system. I signed off at my first opportunity.

And you use them very well, indeed! Thank you.

I reek envy. A most excellent set of photos. Would it be rude to inquire what equipment facilitated your glorious gallery accomplishment?
David
WOW! Your experience has paid off! That is a marvelous shot!
On my iPads, I hit the mic button to go to dictation, then simply state the temperature as “47 Degrees” or whatever, and it prints it correctly. Then turn off the dictation and go back to typing. Takes longer to describe it than to do it. Cannot speak to Mac computers, per se.

While on the subject of Lowes, if you are a vet, Lowes gives a straight across 10% discount to veterans. They send you a form with a bar code which automatically activates the discount when you check out. I took a close up photo of the bar code with my phone, and when I check out, I just hold my phone up, the cashier scans the code, and -- whammy! -- 10% deducted from the sale and shown on the receipt. We have saved quite a bit over the years, especially when we remodeled, and there have been no exeptions to the discount.

Another "memorial" location is Heart Mountain in Wyoming. My wife and I spent most of a day at the refurbished facility there and it was most disheartening. Several months later, we were in Yakima, WA, and, as is our habit, we went to the museum there. Much to our amazement, there was a great assortent of exhibits that perfectly complemented the Heart Mountain site. But there was a major difference between the two.
Many of those who were held at the Heart Mountain location were shipped in from the Yakima area. At the Yakima museum were photos and exhibits of those who had to pack what they could carry and leave all else behind. There was also a large exhibit of letters and art sent by internees to friends and relatives from the camp. The two complemented each other and gave a more complete view of the ignobility of the interment program.
A most excellent book on the internment and the people affected is The Eagles of Heart Mountain by Bradford Pearson. I have read it twice trying to comprehend how the internment could have happened.

Both posts are fun and creatively entertaining. I even shared them with my grandkids, though some explaining was involved! Thanks for sharing all of them.

Clicking on the link you provided got me to the page where the D7500 is listed. On the right side of that page is a button for downloading a very nice PDF of the standard manual in English. I did it and, lacking only a D7500, I have ready to startshooting.
If that does not work for you, let me know and I will email you a copy.
