Great video, Leighton. Considering that Matthew is about to return to earth while Don just recently arrived in space, Don's saying that "the best is yet to be" seems to suggest that he intends to take better photos than Matthew has taken, which would be quite an accomplishment!
Here are a few infrared photos from my Fuji X-T2 at nearby Nile Creek on a cloudy day. All are brought to you courtesy of the 24 f/2.8 NC.
Yesterday one of my grand sons turned three. He asked Barb and I for a remote control police car - which we got. With 5 grand kids, parents, grand parents, and the RC police car wailing - it was very hectic. One then the other nine month old grand daughter crawled over to the slider to let two dogs in that desperately wanted to come to the party. Shot between people and two rooms over with the Nikkor-S.C 55mm f1.2 ai'd + tc16a - I went out to visit the dogs

My 1st job after tec college I worked at NNC in Risley (on the Nuclear Research park) and again later for Bechtel on an Indian Oil Refinery as a Structural draughtsman.

We'll have to wait to see what Don meant by that statement.
Love the look of the last one with not a vehicle in sight.

I took a little time off of work and rode part of the Palmetto Trail and adjoining mountain bike trails in Upstate South Carolina yesterday. Had the Z8 and tiny LTM Nikkor 2.5cm lens in my pack. A couple golden shots below. Lightroom iPad processed

The combinations you take with you always make me smile. Z8 + tiny LTM, must be special sauce to that LTM.

Leighton, here some early fall color from Maine. The red leaf was suspended from a single spider web strand. It spun and danced in the light air. It was fun to watch. All taken with the 85 f2 Ai. Thanks for looking.
Scott
Nice capture Scott. Love that magic floating leaf!

Curtis, the back issue developed last year. Yes this surgery is a major one, and I've scoped out the vascular surgeron's name as far as ratings, and he has excellent ratings and years of experience. The hospital has the best rating in the Cincinnati area. The neurosurgeon has about six years experience. While nervous about it, I'm trying to stay unjittery about it, lose some weight beforehand, and getting the house ready to accommodate me, rather than winding up in a rehab facility. Kids are busy with their own lives, but I may be able to call on a couple friends to help out with some things. WeBeeSee. I'll have to learn a whole new way of sitting, standing, and getting in and out of cars.

Great action shot thru the patio glass!

Just enough fog "to taste". Great stuff.
Thanks! It was a cold interesting morning, though the fog was burning off rather quickly.
One more posting for tonight. Had an opportunity to travel with a good friend for a fall color photo trip. Since we drove I took a couple of MF Nikkors with me. Here's a first set, from the woods of PA. 25-50mm f4 AIS.
Both are great Ray, but I really love the composition of the second one!

Not much to show for the effort, it was a full moon coinciding with the comet. Could not find the comet until I took a long exposure first. 25-50 AIS.

I've got to agree with George and Leighton on this one. They are all very good, but the second photo is beautiful. I love the way the light is filtering through the trees and reflecting in the water.
