Greetings all. Heading down to Main St in a bit to take some videos of our Local College Homecoming Parade. A little overcast so I hope I don't get wet.

Ran across this still life I set up many years ago and added the background in photoshop.

Ahhh. Coffee.

It has been lightly raining here today a whole 1.6mm so far. However, it is nice to see some wet stuff. We are still less than half our average.

   

Was recently in our nation's capital where our daughter lives and works and she took me for a walk up Black Mountain, my bum and legs are still sore.
Tiny terrestrial orchids required me to get down and personal with the subject matter. Then came the getting back up again. Sometimes getting down not liking the shot so don't take the photo then get up and go on. I ended up with 220 photos so it seems like I did that maybe 300 times.

Rich, great still life!

MFI, more botanical beauties.

Been struggling with new cell phone - it doesn't have a physical SIM card, just an E-sim. But when they tried to update the new phone with an E-sim, kit failed. So I've had no way to make or receive calls and texts and, also can't access email on the phone - for 3 days, and don't know when they'll get it working.

Thanks Dave! Always something with technology!
Peter, interesting what that stem did to the flower.
