BTW, Chris has taken some very nice pictures! He has a good eye and a good grasp of DOF. If you happen to be at his house and are fortunate enough, maybe he'll show you his portfolios.

Jeff, I would not be surprised if that is dust from falling debris from the hillside.

The power is so high you have to hold your breath or your heartbeat screws up the shot if not on a pod. Nice duct tape Dave! Victor would comment "gotta have more zoom" I do have a Kowa TSN821 spotting scope that is also powerful. Has a camera adaptor but nothing like true telephoto lens. ![]()

1200mm? That's a friggen' mini telescope!
I own the camera body only (I do own the Great Dane mini statue in the background as well.).... Duct tape is not my doing, but I would've done the same thing! Eh, my P&S focused on my pants... Hello! ![]()

Tick, biggun' at that. Carried it back to Chris's house after our trek. I think I have bed bugs (couch bugs for me) I have been finding these little things - similar to the pic, but with some yellowish spots on one side of my couch and on my hand during a couple of naps, but not the marks of having been bitten. I got rid of all of the ones I could find the other day and have not seen anymore.
Well, now I feel every itch and movement - thinking it is poison oak or ticks!

Knock on wood - I have been VERY lucky regarding ticks. At the most, I only find one - like I did yesterday and always on my pant legs. I know people, that find a number of them after every hike.
My long hair does not help either! I was wearing the bandana (as pictured above) and had my hair tucked down the back of my shirt.

Unless we can get a number of guys willing to canyon dive, I think I may be done for the season. Too much overgrowth and other bad things until next end of fall/winter.

Anachronistic Anomaly

This thread has officially gotten disgusting.
![]() Jeff, There is TONS of pollen in the air right now. I would be willing to bet that's what your "ghosts" are. Both of my cars are covered in pollen. It looks like an orange colored dust. I made the mistake of leaving my Jeep roofless for a few days, and parked. When I went to drive it, it looked like somebody had dumped a huge bag of dust all over the thing. It's everywhere.

Wowee Jeremy!
I don't know who has more balls (or stupidity), the guy driving the 911 on a wet 10-foot wide country road going full throttle, or the dumb idiots standing right next the road waiting to get creamed. Good video, thanks for posting. |
