For Thine Is

the kingdom

forever


amen


after the Dr Randolph's nice technician and his nice young dentist daughter cleaned my teeth, x-ray ed me, told me i had cavities, i returned home only to venture over to Alligator Lake again, to get the contrail shot from the other day right. Today, after taking about two dozen shots from various angles of the lilies, I liked this one, where the lilies were lined up. And no jet streams.
I walked about up and down the trails, in search of barred owls. Heard them, but only in the distance. A nice pileated woodpecker flew right up to me, but I was only quick enough to get his tail before he flew off.
No deer, no turkey, no baby gators, though the mother is still on the bank. They grow fast and are probably nearby but growing quite independent.
Continue to lament the heavy toting of the Nikon and the metal and glass long lens. Would be nice to have a lighter, sharper, faster alternative. Nikon came out with the micro four third V3 today, but at 1200 for just the body, too expensive.
Again, if money was no object, probably would saddle up to the Canon Mark 3 at around 4K for body only. Money is always the object. Lack of.
