I'm getting pretty good at watch pics with the Canon XTI. But I don't get shots like Fujidave posts.

If there are no pictures, it never happened, David

I got super lucky today, and happened to be in a great spot to catch Barque Eagle on her way into port today.

She is used as a training ship for the Coast Guard Academy now, but her history is super interesting.

USCGC Eagle (WIX-327) - Wikipedia

Thanks for that, Jon. The son-in-law is in the USCG. I will have to send him that link to see if he knows about it. His last ship was a cutter. He just changed duty stations and I do not know the type of ship he will be on now.

Back from the mountains. Tired. Got up at 4:30 to catch sunrise at the lake. Spent the day at Cranmore Mtn riding the mountain coaster and zip lines then drove home 2.5 hours. Going to watch the Sox while I unpack and do laundry and try not to fall asleep too early.

The mountain house rental was incredible! There were 11 of us (extended family) including 4 teenagers and a 7 yo and we still had plenty of space. Had a blast. I’ll post some pics later...

Indeed - it's Friday, hosers!

The usual red wine and pizza tonight at my house. Anyone doing anything special this weekend?

This post reminded me to check the schedule for Winnekenni Castle. Turns out the there's a dixie land band playing Sunday, may go check it out.

Fujidave you enjoy that new lens!

Thank you, I love the lens a lot after today, hope to take my first portrait of a lovely young Spanish lady in a few days.

Was gutted the man just appeared as I clicked.

What man?

Literally a <60 second edit; with 5-10 minutes work, you'd never know he was there!

I don't wanna go. But my Sister informed me she must have $180 from the next check to pay a bill. So I'm going to get at least 4 hours today.

The Watch Office person canceled her leave, so MLW isn't working today We're heading to the Eastern Shore for produce, and Ikea for a bookcase to send up to lazy_lobster. I'm going to try to fit in a landscape for @SquarePeg, and maybe a couple alphabet shots.

That really does sound like a great week. Zip lines are on my bucket list!

 

[davidharmier60]

Almost 4 hours today and just 10 minutes under 34 hours for the week. It's done fooled around and got hot outside.
Just finished chicken tenders and gravy at the deli. Gonna hit the Post Office and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

I shot my first air show this morning. Not sure if they came out good, I don't review the images, I have it turned off. Probably not, O was shooting them in continuous AF, wide zone, at slow shutter speeds to show the propeller. uuuummmmmm, I was using a 400 mm lens and shooting at 1/60s....should be bad

Last night the Bowl was wonderful. Another perfect evening of 75F. LA Phil performed a collection from Latin America. The piece from Mexico was especially wonderful. At times it made me think of the theme from The Magnificent Seven and other times Sherazade. It took Gary back to the many trips he has taken Meh-he-co, the pine filled mountains, verdant valleys and endless beaches.

Later, Dudamel accompanied a pair of guitarists. They were fantastic. Gary first thought they were from Espana and we were to be entertained with classical Spanish guitar. But, they were from Mexico, played their own music and shredded the Bowl. They were amazing. Rogillo and Gabrela, goggle them for a real musical treat.
