From brown cows, of course😇

Photodoc, that sounds like a fantastic experience! Amazing how a little critter can sometimes make you forget about all the troubles in the world…at least for a little while!😃

Their spines are “shielded” during birth but soon emerge & are sharp. If you hold them gently, you’re fine. They are adorable!

From another site. Thought it was cute enough to share.

Light-hearted, often predictable who-done-it mysteries in a quaint setting with some good vintage reggae. Hilarious at times, much of the humor is culturally subtle and I find it a nice series to unwind with, and reminisce on, growing up in the Caribbean. Definitely a fan, Jerry!

Good one, Mark. You’re in fine form this morning!🤣

Sorry…could not resist!😇

The real question is there any advantage or disadvange to using the camera or L-bracket connections for a camera strap

FWIW, I think it’s going to boil down to personal preference. I like my camera & lens pointing down along my side, so my sling strap is connected to a camera lug & the tripod socket. It works for me especially with a heavier lens. Some folks use the 2 lugs, some use only the tripod socket, others an L-bracket. The main advantage of my setup: if one connection breaks, the other prevents the camera from falling. My 2 cents

You hit the nail in the head, Jerry. Like you, over the years I’d spent a small fortune on cheap or mediocre tools in an effort to be frugal. Penny wise, pound foolish! A few years ago, I got fed up and invested in Milwaukee and haven’t regretted a moment! Expensive outlay but, like photography, invest in a system and enjoy the dividends!

I agree with you, Mark:the US Open was fabulous and quite entertaining! I was touched by Leylah’s tribute to 9/1. Both young ladies were exemplary in play and speech. Your pics capture their personalities perfectly! Thanks for sharing

No rhyme for ‘purple’ either!😀

Use a click pen, draw either figure, retract the nib, drag the point, extend nib & draw the next figure.

DM’d you. I’ll take this if still available. Thanks

Yes! And any inspiration/excuse nowadays is welcome!😊

Thank you!

Woke up this morning to this bloom!
