A new favorite pie Barb made for me - even though she doesn't like fruit pipes (just savory). I don't like sweet pies, but I do love tart cherry pies, and apples pies that are tart as well. This is all the info she will share for Apple and Blackberry Pie.
To make two pies
-Substitute one third of the Apple fruit with Blackberries
-A total of two thirds of a cup of sugar is used for both pies - 2/3rds of the 2/3rds of a cup is white sugar. and 1/3 of the 2/3rds brown sugar
-Spices are Cardamon. Nutmeg, and Vanilla powder (looks like whizzed Vanilla bean pods), & the obligatory pinch of salt.
Edit: + The juice and zest of one lemon
-Sprinkle Turbinado sugar over the top
I'm noticing a thirds measuring theme here. If you put cinnamon in she will break your knuckles with a wooden spoon. The taste is amazing - of course!

Nicely done. I bet the owner would love a print of this.
Yes, I've sent the owners a few pictures electronically, their interest is in FB postings. It's a sunflower farm that opens to the public for about 10 days during peak bloom. Some nice folks that run the place and do a good job with props and the like for people to come and enjoy.
Jim, that pie looks tasty, Ray that shot looks great, we had dreams/plans to do similar but haven’t had the time and money to get the dirt ready, needs a lot of lime.
Playing with the 135mm f/2.8. Got some great shots of my cousins too but don’t put the kids online.

28mm f2.8 AIS, the close focus comes in handy!
I was always a 24mm shooter, so never really paid attention to the 28mm Nikkors, but as usual Raymond you make me GAS-y. I did cave and buy a 28/1.4D, and frankly it has booted my AiS 24/2 to the curb, but the 0.2m close-focus of the AiS 28/2.8 is VERY tempting.
Still alive! just keep busy working, I am 74 and will retire when I turn 75. I like my work and I know it is appreciated. Could probably work until 80 as I am blessed with good health, but need to take some time before my body gives up.
Going out often and beginning to take photos, using adobe which is quite different in rendition to the Nikon SW.

I can imagine the prep work needed Matt, especially to get things ready for visitors. The folks here show up 2 hours prior to opening time to get ready for the official visiting hours. I can also imaging the work they may need to do if they have to protect the props from inclement weather, which only needed to happen for one day for the stretch of 10 days this year.

Happy to oblige :-). I own two MF 28's due to the combined group efforts here, almost went for a third a few months back but decided I should just use what I have. I will say that the 28 f2.8AIS is a wonderful lens.

Stunning shot 👏 love everything about it
Thanks! It speaks to some of the wonderful character of these older lenses in that I had to switch out from AF lenses to get a decent sunstar.

I sold a 24mm f/2.8 so if the f/2 needs a home…
Got an itch to play with the 105mm Micro today.
Lovely shots with the 105 Micro! As for my 24/2, it's the only Nikkor I bought new, and as probably 80% of my film shots were taken with this lens, I will be keeping it! Mounting the 24/2 with it's HK-2 hood just feels like a warm bath and I can't imagine not owning it.
