Trying the LUMIX G 35-100 2.8, hope the PL100-400 doesn’t get jealous.
Got a tip for us?

A 'closer look' at the flowering part of a plant that caught my eye in a local, neighbourhood garden recently.

Lunch
Astoria Oregon. We drove to BowPickers (in the tow car), a land based wooden boat, for take-out Fish and Chips (better than Grizzly Tuna). Could not find a place to eat, all the few tables were taken. I found a stair case on the outside of a building and sat down to eat. My brother sat next to me, but he did not like the stair treads, they were steel with openings that had protuding surfaces (helped with slip resistance). He found a concrete stoop to sit on, I stayed on the stairs. As I was eating this very tasty meal, two men exited the building just in front of me dragging garbage bags, they were taking out the trash to the dumpster not too far away. As they did, one of the bags being dragged, leaked some slime - oh well. My Fish and Chips were great.
After our meals, we ventured to the Maritime Museum across the street. I needed to used the bathroom to pee; initially they would not let me in without paying for entrance to the museum ($16 each adult person) - no way! I gave my pleading face and was granted access to the facilities.
Along the outside of the museum we were able to see some of the exhibits through a wall of windows - thanks Freebies.
Docked across from the museum is the Columbia, a Lightship, commissioned 1951 -- decommissioned 1979. The black mast with the technology is the Coast Guard Cutter - Alert, docked next to the Columbia

Oh, I know that spot. Actually never been there, but a lens review I saw the other month had some example-shots exactly from where you stand taking this shot.
I like this one!
(another) stroll in the park. Backlit with fill flash.
So just for fun dug out an ancient Kodak D3700 camera. Fixed FL 37mm equivalent lens, 5.1x7.6mm sensor, 3.1MP images. This camera had a built in view finder and a display about the size of a large postage stamp. Have to hold the power button down for about 5 seconds just to turn it on or off and calling the shutter lag glacial is being kind. It was one of the earliest usable digital cameras. Originally purchased by the local newspaper for a sum that is best described as extortionate. Given to me by the owner/editor/publisher in 2009 when my Canon Powershot A550 literally bit the dust. Served as a temporary camera until I was able to replace the deceased.
This image from same location as a couple of days ago but different lighting and angle. Minor horizon line, shadow and highlight tweaking in Graphic Converter. Final resizing and sharpening in Preview.

Early-morning, quiet, calm and cloudy (in April/2019), near the boat harbour on the Fraser River at Mission, BC (for us, an on the harbour breakfast stop at a nearby 'trailer-restaurant').
Along the way
Little America Wyoming. My brother wanted to stop for the 75 Cent Cone (ice cream) in Little America; he got chilli instead. On the way to the RV I spotted this Plymouth Fury iii on a tow bed; it had seen better decades. Did a walk-around and took a few snaps. These are the rear tail lights.
