Looks lovely, company sounds even better.

How badly do you regret selling that camera and lens, Jim? Badly enough to replace them?
For today's contribution, I offer you some vegetation (that green stuff that returns in the spring) from Big Qualicum River at the beginning of October, brought to you by my D800E with the 105 f/2.8 micro Ai-s and TC-16A (and weird lens ID in EXIF data) (first and fourth images), the 28 f/2 N (second photo), and the 105 f/1.8 Ai-s (third photo).
Great work Glen. I like all four of them.

Didn't know contacts could dry out. Can you feel it when it happens? What do you do then?
Add some drops. I have it particularly bad according to my doctor, my eyes are abnormally dry, does not happen to most people. It was really cold and dry and I was outdoor for about 5 hours in single digit temps, that probably made it worse. I tried blinking and tearing up but not to much avail. Forgot to bring my drops.

Scott, this lends a nice, warm contrast to the recent wintry scenes. I can almost feel the warmth and hear the crackling fire!
Here are a couple of additions to the monochrome imagery on the thread. These come from my D800E and 50 f/1.4 SC at Nile Creek.

Thanks Leighton! In comparison to places further to the east, in terms of the thermometer readings, it does not get especially cold here in the relatively low-lying parts of BC (though it can of course get quite cold to extremely cold at the higher elevations---as you probably know, this is a particularly mountainous region). However, having lived in both Newfoundland and Ontario in the past, I recognize that relatively warm temperatures here can be just as uncomfortable and can cause just as much trouble for people as much colder temps do elsewhere. The overnight low where I live went as low as -17°C (1°F) and the daytime low hit -10°C (14°F). For this part of Vancouver Island, those are cold temperatures. What makes living here so great is that they only lasted a few days, until the "polar vortex" decided to shuffle along. Now we're just hovering around 0° to -4°C (32° to 25°F).
For today's installment of fall photos, here are three from the X-T4 at Olympic National Park in Washington State. The Lens Turbo II was mounted, as always, and it was ably assisted by the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s (first two) and the 16 f/3.5 Ai fisheye....Show more →
I am really far behind, but now this makes for good reading on a rainy sunday. Congrats Glen, the last one is worthy of large prints on a museum wall.
Very nice Ray. I am liking the long shadows and sunstar.
Your B&W renditions made me explore an alternate edit to a stark, featureless, mountain scene.
This is the original 50/2, two frame vertical pano followed by a cropped version and converted to B&W.

Some exciting news - we had our first grand daughter join the now four grandkid team. Must warn you about the portrait of me with Judith - this is what many years of sun, and burning the candle at both ends does to your face. 24mm f2.8 ais & the TC-16A
That looks great! Nice way to spend the afternoon!

Rafael,
You aged much better than I did. Somewhere between picture one and two you figured the pants thing out - I have worked with people that hadn't, and it made communication difficult due to trying to not laugh.

Looks to me like the classic mum pulls them up for the photo after you have stubbornly refused and then of course you double down and stubbornly refuse to readjust them for the pic
