WHAT IS THIS???

Nikon D3 DSLR camera and Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 lens – A FLORIDA CANAL

Here’s one I took on Thanksgiving day (08) .  It surprised me that it turned out well enough to like it.  I just never know what will look good when I take the pictures.  So that’s  another reason to shoot as many pictures as I can when I’m out there playing with my camera. 
It was late afternoon [...]

HELPERS AROUND THE HOUSE -Nikon D3 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S lens & an Old AIS Manual Focus Gem

It must be the holiday season because we are covered up with workers. We’re trying to get ready for our family coming over the holidays.  Today Duke pressure cleaned our roof.  When you live in Florida you have to do the roof every year or every two years at the most.  The tile gets mildewed [...]
