Relative of yours? 😊

ah, to be 62 again ...

Just wait, as you get older your mind continues to get younger, until you're babbling like a baby, drooling, and needing diapers again.

Now there's something to look forward to!

In my early Navy days, we did not have the cool little remote control aerial drones we have today. A photographer would go up in a helicopter with a camera to get the needed aerial shots. I had the pleasure of doing just that several times while stationed on the USS Nimitz to get shots of the battle group, ports of call, and other assorted jobs requested by command and other departments. I was able to keep many of my aerial shots like the one I am sharing with you today. I went up in one of the SH-3 Sea King helicopters for all the aerial shots I took, including this one of the Nimitz battle group, while we were deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. I am glad I had the great job of being a Navy Photographer. It was one of the best jobs you could have, and you got to do, and see a lot of things the regular sailor could never even dream of.

That's a great story! And I'm glad the Navy believes it's important and good publicity to document and make photographs of its assets and operations. I could watch videos of flight operations off a carrier deck all day and night - something I'd never tire of. I'm hoping someday official photographs will be released of more secretive endeavors.

A big tip of my cap to all who have served.

Downtown Johnson City preparing for Christmas. They set up over 100 trees throughout downtown decorated and lit up with a couple of 30-40ft trees also decorated and lit up. View attachment 2117870

Never been to Johnson City, TN, but I grew up in Binghamton, NY right next to Johnson City.😁

Seems like there were quite a few exceptional shots over the past 24 hours. Great to wake up to such a variety of delicious eye candy.

Was playing a bit with the close-up end of the T4i which is being loaned to me over the winter. Original framing of the ice crystals was rather blah so I cropped in almost all the way, then had some artsy-fartsy fun in PS Elements.

This is a portion of Devil’s Garden in Arches National Park. The trail winds its way among rocky fins like these.

He's a banker who works in San Francisco's financial district. And for lunch he runs through the downtown, jumping over anything that's jumpable; trash cans, newspaper racks, walls, etc. No doubt in my mind he could jump over some cars.
