Yes the Lemon Squeeze as it is calld by many is a very scary experience! I love hiking the many trails around the property. You'll have to get back there again! The food in the dining room has improved a lot over the past couple of years as well. And they have a world class Spa as well.
The Lemon Squeeze? I don't think they called it that 20 years ago. Haha! Back when we went, Mohonk and the Mountain House were a bit more rustic and less refined. I think in recent years it's become more of a high-end destination resort. Regardless, I'd def love to go back someday!!
Yesterday I did something completely new - photographed classic cars at a show in South Bend. Another thing new to me was to go with only 2 lenses, Milvus 35/1.4 and Loxia 85, and I didn't really wish for any that I didn't bring along. The show was partially hosted by the Studebaker Museum, which I've meant to visit for a long time, and had a variety of cars up through the 60s. I'm partial to '20s and '30s and concentrated on those. I didn't expect to get much in view of harsh light outdoors, crowded conditions, inability to get very close, and a lot of background clutter, but there were some keepers after all. Here's the first selection: #1-2 and 6 with Milvus 35, #3-5 with Loxia 85.
I normally don't do portraits, but thought this one turned out well. Shot during this little girl's baptism (my friend's daughter). I did have to do some photoshopping, since she's like 4 months old, and can't sit up like that in the portrait. My friend was actually holding her, and his face was right next to her. I photoshopped him (the dad) out of the photo. This was shot in a church, and yes i know there's an object in the background near the top of the flower Shot with the A7rii + fe 55 1.8.

Did you photograph it in NM? It looks like Eumorpha fasciatus, but the latter doesn't show NM as part of its range.
Many thanks Danny for the feedback.
To answer your question, sure did.
I shot the image on my patio in White Rock, Los Alamos County, NM.
The town of Los Alamos has an altitude of around 7300 feet, White Rock around 6500.
Somebody else (https://www.getdpi.com/forum/sony/56138-a7r-a7r2-why-im-keeping-both-74.html#post763861) suggested, quote:”Hyles lineata, also known as the 'White-lined Sphinx'”.
