Another Rainy Night and Recent Pics
Thank all that's right in the world for tonight's rainstorm and a few grumbles of thunder. As long is there's no flooding, and no one gets hurt, there's nothing like a good rain. How I used to enjoy being in a real downpour way back when I was a kid in my little rowboat, or inclement "running the bogs" with my buddy when I was in my teens, or jogging in the stuff just a few years ago... Rain... Ahhh... The stuff of a perfect night's sleep.
Anyway...
With the Canon now "walking the streets of glory" (or "dog paddling the brine of eternity" as it were), we're back to our old Olympus camera. Still, it ain't a bad little beast. We bought it back in the day when the company I used to work for handled the tech support for Olympus cameras. We used to have a policy that anyone could sign out any Olympus camera and take it for a test ride. And if we had problems, we could just wait for the experts to go on break, and ask for help. (Think about that for a minute.) So we ended up with a C-2100 camera because it was both user friendly and had image stabilization. To this day, when it decides to focus on the right object, it takes no prisoners. Here are a couple of day lilies, a crow, and a dove in a bird bath...
And so it goes... More rain... More flowers... More birds... So far, so good.
See you by the feeders,

CCA,
I sure do like the quality of your photographs. Particularly interesting is your Morning Dove taking a bath. Of my five Dove species, I have not observed any of them using my Bird Bath. Wonder why? Anyway, good job.
Cheers,

Hi Harry,
Thanks for the kind words... I'll keep throwing cameras at the wall... Sooner or later something good is bound to come out of the exercise.
