Hey all,

Spent the day at the zoo today with my d80 and its 18-200 VR lens:

I didn't add one yesterday, so I am going to cheat and add another from today:

That's a different perspective on a flagpole!

I looked at your Flickr page - you've got some great shots in there! I can't wait to see some after you get your DSLR...

My Flickr is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7255052@N05/

It's mostly pictures of my newest Granddaughter, but I hope to add some more soon on different subjects.

Thanks Rahrens, I had a wee look at your own Flicker. Looks like a lovely family, you must be such the proud Grandfather.

Yep

That I am! Thank 'e, sir! She's the second of three daughters, but the only one with little ones so far. (Or married, either, for that matter!)

It snowed last night. We got about an inch, and I couldn't resist slipping out before breakfast for some shots.

Here is a daffodil I found in the snow.

Great Shot again, I like the way the flower is peaking out from the snow.

Usually at this time of year we would have snow , but we haven't had any this Winter; 15ºc and very sunny here today (Global warming so i'm told).

Taken during a track day yesterday at Bedford Autodrome. My favourite shot of the whole day taken very early on before I ramped up the sensitivity (and therefore shutter speed) to make it easier to get non-blurred pictures. I got the tracking speed just about spot on so the car is almost completely non-blurred. Wish I'd tried more like this as it looks better than the ultra high shutter speed shots where the car looks static.

Taken with a Canon 400D using a 70-200 f/4 L lens. Taken at f/16 (I thought I had locked it at f/4, obviously not), 1/80s, 140mm.

Great Night Shot , really like the slightly skewed reflection.
I usually like your shots,like the previous one of the marta out at chamblee.
Atlanta is one of my favourite places and you always seem to capture great aspects of it.

Thanks. This was way out from left field! Temps were up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit earlier this week, and we were all hoping that Spring had finally sprung. The last time we got anything significant this late was five inches in the 1920's, I think. I hope the delicate ones like the Bleeding Hearts survive. They're my favorites. And the Grape Hyacinths were standing up with little caps of snow like soldiers wearing helmets!

a story about a dog...

I'm not sure if this is the right topic to post this, but during a recent trip to Baja California Sur and back, my friend Trisha and I encountered Charlie, a starving yellow lab mix, while driving south of Todos Santos. We couldn't leave him there, so he is now in Oregon with me, after a saga filled with ups and downs. I took all the pics with my D50 and the 18-55 kit lens and the 55-200 Nikkor. It's really a photojournal, but you might find it interesting.

Here's the link to the album on picasa. Click on the "slideshow" link to view as a slideshow.

By way of taking a break from the birds, I'm posting a shot of a monsoon storm as seen from the top of a local peak. A typhoon passed over that day, and the wind danced the clouds merrily.

I hate knowing I have a few pictures from today I want to share, but that I've only shot half a roll. Drat.
