Cat lovers will get this. It is my birthday present from my wife, it makes me laugh. Tomorrow getting another injection - so youz guys keep on posting.
I need a few around here, especially after I fell last year slipping on that.

Here's what happens when you change a setting you don't usually think about. A selfie of sorts, taken spontaneously while waiting for my sweetie, 55mm f/3.5 Micro:
I had previously set white balance to 5260K and never set it back to my usual Auto0*. This picture was shot indoors so it came out orange. I tweaked it as best as I could in GIMP to make it close to reality. It isn't perfect but then, neither is reality.
I am a cat lover and know how that feels when things come to an end. There should be a cat paradise where we will be welcomed by numerous friends when time comes.

Great pics! I knew this was a New England coast before I ever glanced at the header to see who and where. They really capture the feel.

Too funny. I can't believe it's been +30 hours but only 3 posts since. Today is another day, I agree .
It was while taking this picture, after a few others, where I felt the Df shutter button felt off. I ran my finger on it and it just felt very different. I looked at it and noticed, I don't remember this hole being naked like this. To try shorten a long story, the AR-11 soft shutter button had fallen off somewhere in the garden. I spent bits of the morning going out, retracing my steps, what I'd shot, where I'd placed the tripod. The tiny AR-11 in a garden version of the needle in a haystack story. It was drizzling. There is enough ground cover to make the thing disappear. I see it's not discontinued and prices range from $28 and up. I'll have to import one. Price not bad, it's the shipping that's killer. That's the $ signs.
Fast forward to early afternoon when the weather had cleared up and while chatting to my wife she mentions something about me needing to rest. Me: The garden swallowed a piece of my camera , I need to go try and look for it again or I'll have to spend money. Concerned spouse fires off many questions, now I need to describe the thing she's going to help me look for. While still explaining how much the thing costs and how small it is, I strike luck. Lifting up a daisy bush and there it was. It fell all the way down into the soil. It must have happened when I put the tripod over it to take this picture. Why couldn't I find it when she wasn't there? I went out at least four times before.
Have an old NAI 135mm f/3.5 that’s been in the cabinet for a while, but had haze in the front element. Finally got some Acetone to open it up and clean. Seems the coating has taken some damage but fortunately had a nice overcast morning with some clear water so made the most of it.
