Kristian, Philippe, and Jay, your photos are giving me a summer vacation without having to leave the comfort of my couch!
Thanks all for your likes and comments on my recent image posts. Here is a final set of sand sculpture photos from Parksville beach, courtesy of the 35 f/1.4 N (first two shots) and the 55 f/1.2 SC (third image).
Does keeping it in the family constitute incest ?? Then may be I am guilty.
Fortunately Scott is not part of my family, only by association on here, so I think I'm safe - for now
All I now have to do is go out and use it .....
What am I talking about ?? You may wonder, because sometimes in the current heat I think my brain is boiled !
Scott's gorgeous 25-50mm f4 Ai-s
It is now here in the UK - oh yeah !!
And a mighty fine lens it is too .....
See if you can spot the difference between my old beaten up lens, which I am sure has knocked in a few nails in its time, and Scott's rather nice one ....
I know it will be hard to tell - but try any way!!

I'm way behind on keeping up with this thread. However, I've discovered the most beautiful evil weed imaginable. Bindweed has the purist white blossom, but grows faster than aunt Martha can close the barn door. Geesh, it's on EVERYTHING! Seven feet high on corn, six feet high on tomatoes, five feet high on potatoes. Even onions, carrots, leeks, garlic, cucumber - everything. It coils around any vertical stem, and nothing kills it - EXCEPT roundup! So, I have been hand pulling it up by the roots and filling buckets with these long long vines, and white blossoms. Then when they dry I burn them. Oh, and NEVER run over the vines with a lawn mower - you will get thousands of baby Bindweeds. (All with the 135mm f2.0 ai)
Sad story here too. The Tiger Swallowtail flew onto the concrete while I was watering the garden. He drank for a few minutes and then died.
Ok, you meant plumbers, - I thought you were refering to a plummer breed of dog!
Obviously I don't know my dog breeds....
So to answer your question, not long at all.
Beautiful Lakes Jay and Kristian.
Loving Rome through your eyes Jose.
Thank you all for the commentary on tattoos, to me the key is in the intent and the quality of the work, a gangster or convict tattoos are repulsive to me, a father tattooing his kid's feet prints on his arm is sweet.
