My wife and I took advantage of some beautiful early evening weather for our walk. This is a 3.25 mile loop that we we usually take. Socially distancing is a little easier in this part of the US. We only saw one cyclist and 4 people during our walk. Taken from my iPhone.
I’ve been fascinated watching the sparrows and goldfinches eating the dandelion seeds. They will make quick work of one if given the chance.
Great photos everyone!!
I just joined here...this is my first post. So I'll start with a photo of one of my favorite spots about 6 miles from my home.

Well, it was a novel experiment, but I sent it back. It was a used lens, and the zoom on it was a bit grindy for my tastes. Also, it’s a heavy bugger, and after 20-30 minutes with it in the field, my right hand was really feeling it, and that was with it strapped over shoulder, not around the neck. I may still eventually get the PL50-200, but I’m laying low on gear buys for now.

I'd read on a number of sites that the zoom on the 100-400 wasn't smooth , maybe it's on all the samples of that particular lens . Well at least you gave it a try , and were able to return it . I carried around a 5D2 + 100-400L for too many years and know well your experience re: heavy lenses .
One for today....

Last one from that hike. Have to go for a hike today.

Liriodendron tulipifera. You have to be looking for their flowers, since they are often way up in the tree and a bit greenish.
I must admit (grumpy so-and-so that I am) that all of these named supermoons get on my wick. At the end of the day they are just a full moon, albeit a little larger than normal. Last night's supermoon...

She rarely has her babies out in the open like this. Thankfully I had my DSLR.
I was reminded of a softball coach I had one year. If you came to bat and there were runners on base, he'd yell, "Ducks on the pond! Bring em home!"
