Hear you. I’m 100% manual.

With macro, it feels like a necessity.

Added my first birding lens this weekend, and I’m listening.

Impressive.

Manage action shots by manually focusing on still objects on the focal parallel with my subjects, but that doesn’t work very well in flight!

Stunning, Soph 😻

You twice shy?

Not yet! 😸

Do get bitten by mosquitos, the occasional mammal-luvin’ fly, and ants of many types, especially when standing still, too close to ant 🐜 hills, bent and focused on a subject— but so far, no stings nor bites by any insect, spider, nor herp.

She cheerfully hopped on my hand for a visit.🌈

Thanks, Liv.

One of my three most memorable spider experiences so far.

Thanks, Peter!

Got a new, birding lens this weekend, I’m enthused to bring y’all more avians.

Morning, Susan ☕️

Hope the doc has only good news 🗞️

Thank you for the #blueBrew

It’s a little too hot for me to drink yet, am letting it cool, like the weather here, which’s dropped 15 degrees and 🌬️

Today I drop gf at airport, run some errands nearby, and if time permits, take an ocean dip 🤗

Good selection for b&w, Robyn, gives me the feels. 😻

The values are good enough for the grayscale version, yet also I groove with the color version more, it generates more awe for me. Beautiful work. 😻
