Ron, your camera is really good at focus on zoom. How is it on taking pics of insects on macro?
(Pic taken from Apple SE phone)

The 600mm lens will go down to 150mm. But it will not focus unless I am 10' away from object. My other camera has a 18 to 200mm lens. At 18mm I can get as close as 1.5' and still focus. Took this picture of a small ant on a little dandelion with it yesterday. Dandelion was about 5/8" in diameter.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 56° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 86° with cloudy skies. Sassy wanted to go outdoors at 2:30 am. She went back to sleep. I did not. Got her groomed yesterday. Looks good all trimmed up. Did not get much else done, After some grocery shopping this morning. I will not get much done. Except relax on back porch and enjoy the warm day.
Found something blooming other than dandelions yesterday.

Don, you must have been reading my mind. I took the ant picture before you posted the question.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

53 and clear, going to 88.

Great puppy and dog pix. I wonder if some of us have more dog pix than wife pix.

Have a safe trip, BEF, and don't strain your back.

Wind was too gusty to spray yesterday, since some areas need to be precision to avoid desirable plants. So roasted coffee instead. I gave a lot away so need to restock.

Buppies, hope your bear has learned his lesson.

Roy I bet you have lots of photos. I put some together for a tribute to our Reno who was one in a million. We often watch it as it brings back beautiful memories. He was pretty much the same colour as Bella too.

Beautiful!!
Thanks for posting!!

Good Morning
It’s 55 headed to 80 with mostly clear skies again.

Yesterday was fairly productive, a mix of shop work and outside chores. Went to water sod that i put over the septic tank lid a I dug up a while back with a new hose that I bought from HD last week. The hose leaked profusely at the male fitting. Of course, I paid cash and threw out the receipt and packaging. Surprisingly, they gave me a store credit for it, which I used to buy a better hose.

Off to meeting at one of the local airports to determine the scope of work for improvements to the terminal building. After that, I’ll see what the day brings.

good morning all
another warm sunny day going up into the mid 80's

looking out at my garden this morning and I think the Burpee tomatoes are a goner.
All wilted and unhappy looking, same way they came out of the plastic packaging they were sent in.
I think the hot weather cooked them in shipping, from all of 45 minutes away, which is disappointing.
If they don't make it I'll replace them with store bought plants but then no more Burpee tomatoes. Couple of days
should show if they are going to recover.

Landscapers finished yesterday, three new trees/shrubs installed, gravel put down for second parking spot, beds weeded, fertilized and mulched,
basically a long list of to do's and several thousand bucks later they left. Landlord should be happy, she will come to inspect this weekend.

busy day socially, showered and put some nice clothes on to go visit friends for coffee this morning, and then more friends for lunch.
Gosh it's nice to get out and see people again...

Most nice days I am buzzed outside by one or more light planes. I look up and wave, wondering if Popgadget's son is flying this way.

Good morning, "unseasonably windy" said the lady on the weather forecast. Having been just lashed by some almost horizontal rain, I think she was right.

This is turning out to be a very good year for blossom, the pink glow from crab apples cheered up a very dark morning.


Has Covid effected the cost of dogs where you live ? Here pups have been in such high demand, they are fetching over double what they were before the pandemic started.

Good morning, the low is 60 and the high will be 81°F. Wind S 6 mph. 100% chance of rain. It was forecast 30% chance and is raining now.

I was going to water my radishes this morning, but I guess I don't need to do that now. I either water very early in the morning or late in the afternoon/evening.

I got up this morning to a note on my door, DIL went to the hospital in the wee small hours of the night. I don't know which one at this point. Either I sleep pretty heavy or the meat wagon drivers are really silent. I never heard a thing.

I'm not sure what I will get up to today, Dodge and Jeep are getting washed as I speak. If the rain stops, I might wax the Dodge with Lucas Slick Mist.

Nice dandelion/ant pic.

I found an interesting series on Prime video yesterday, The Grey Wolves, WW2 submarine warfare from the German point of view.


Have a safe day all
