I'm not going to risk the loss of friendships over loaned books, but then again, what genuine friend would not return my beloved books? One friend still has the gall to keep a favorite, 'The Chimpanzees of Gombe.' I keep sending her photographs of chimps hoping she will remember. Still waiting.

I am always amazed by the endless beauty & majesty far above in the summits of towering giants. The serrated peaks of Patagonia's Mount Cerro Torre emerge from the clouds, as they are touched by the early morning sun. #100%human #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nature #bluesky

Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk, I think. Contrasting images obtained from oppositional sun, creating an interesting juxtaposition. In either example, that beak looks lethal.

A Swallowtail Butterfly. Although I have seen many images of this butterfly, it was my first time seeing this beauty in the flesh while on holiday in Greece. Time to fly x. #swallowtail #butterfly #insect #nature #greece #Kefalonia #Cephalonia #flyday

I use mine for everything except tele-wildlife and portraits, but it can be used for decent portraiture and near mag with good result. Very versatile, and as you mentioned, nice color fidelity. Not cost prohibitive considering all it can do.

Wildflowers Tre Cime with the clouds moving through, and a patch of pink flowers growing right out of the rock beside the trail. Hard to beat a spot like this. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Fuji #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #LandscapePhotography
Color photograph in portrait orientation of a rocky alpine trail below a tall limestone tower. On the left, the tower rises almost to the top of the frame, its vertical face banded in tan and ochre with dark streaks, and thin fog clinging to its lower left edge. Behind and to its right, a second tower is half dissolved in cloud. The sky is blue-gray with soft, streaked white clouds, a small patch of blue at upper right, and a bright warm glow just left of center. A gravel path climbs along the left side toward the tower’s base. In the middle ground on the right, a stack of pale gray boulders with orange lichen patches juts out against the sky. In the foreground, a cushion of green plants and tufts of dry golden grass covers a rock ledge, dotted with small magenta-pink flowers, most densely clustered in the lower center.

The vertical format stacks the scene in layers: flowers, boulders, tower, sky. A low, wide viewpoint makes the tower loom over the small plants, and the path on the left leads the eye from the bottom corner up to its base. The warm ochre rock against cool blue-gray sky sets up a complementary contrast, and the pink flowers add a small, saturated accent that draws the eye first. The blurred, streaked clouds against sharp rock suggest time passing over a fixed landscape. The tension is between the delicacy of the flowers and the monumental scale of the rock behind them.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

She divorced him on “biblical” grounds, but Texans should elect a man who cheated on her? He’s also already cheated on Texans. He’s out of Texas as much as he’s in and owns 15 properties on an AG’s salary How much was she paid for this outrageous ad?
