Beautiful trees and dawgs. The old bucks... probably not so much.

That scrap got started long ago when we put a giant rub on the cedar tree in front of the maples so Virgil would see it when he arrives at deer camp. Some buck saw it and started scraping next to it years ago. Darn bucks have been scraping there ever since. |

They were little rooted sticks grown to be potted starts and I took chance and rooted them straight in the ground in the rigors of the outdoors. Had a I planted 4 acres and they succeeded like these I would have retired on the income. Probably twice. |

I think I will hijack my own thread. Doubled+ fire pit inventory for next year, maybe two years. Hope they sell, $10,000 worth add covers. Most of the rusted ones sitting for a month, the black ones a week w/no rain. Black ones weighed 6500 pounds. Hundreds of mice and snakes living under them tapping the heat. Well fed snakes no doubt. Talk about long lasting solar air heaters, pipe them together and run a little high pressure blower into the crib. If I lived in the sunny but cold high country of Arizona that's what I would do. Rust has very high sunlight absorption properties.  |

jamesp I forget the type of dogs you have; ________ Ridgeback is all I remember! Please fill in my blank. spoiled  Rhodesian Pat, a country in South Africa now called Zimbabwe. Hunter Van Rooyen was rumored to have bayed enough Rhinos by the 20's to amass 20,000 pounds of rhino horns. Not good for the Rhino home team. |

If I went to Japan I would head straight for the forests where the many varieties of Japanese Maples grow. Maybe the bamboo forests, but mostly the maples. equipped with camera to tear up some colors. |

It is great down here in Appalachia, but no match for them Canadian maples. |

That's great! I hae my Dad's old Nikon that he purchased in Japan back in 1972. Steel body (I think), weighs about five pounds without the lenses. Still have both lens which, as you point out, are really, really good. It's a 35mm, though so film is no longer available. It took great pics. Anyway, your photos are terrific so I was curious about the camera. thanks!

Anyway, your photos are terrific so I was curious about the camera. thanks! I have put old Nikon film lenses on that D70. Some darn sure fit, but you will have to manual focus, and maybe manually control the aperture. No matter, it has a 'thru the lens' light meter. All you got to do is adjust aperture till light meter is at 12 o'clock and click away. Good learning experience for me. |

Yup, that's it for me - I have to manually focus and manually adjust everything on that camera. Including telling it what ASA film was in it. Nothing automated about it. Or rather, I should saw that I used to. Can't get 35mm film any more. I used it in High School (I was one of the year book photographers) and we got our own lab so we learned a lot about photography. It was fun. Anyway, you take some great pictures. |
