Luck more than skill

Who cares?

Hi Ron,

If one must accept all that may influence negatively one's effort, like bad luck,
then, one must accept all that may influence positively one's effort, like good luck!

You must be a very happy chap! because you have the good luck to have a good shot!

Have a good day…

Ron it comes back to my mates saying,the more you practice the luckier you get,all the pictures you take will have given you the skills to take advantage of luck.

Is that a millet seed plant that the bee is hovering around?

NO. Verbascum thapsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I LIKE THE LEAFS, VERY SOFT, SOME CALL IT A FLANNEL PLANT. IF I CANNOT GET TO THEM WITH MY MOWER THEY ARE SAFE.

Sounds like me but I do have a Weed Eater and a Rent a Teen that handles it pretty good.

for me it's rent the old fart, i work cheep! Feeding the mower to do my 3 acres doesn't do my lens fund any good, it does help to loosen my old joints.

I have a riding mower which I love riding and up till I had the shoulder surgery I did all my own yard work and enjoyed it. I haven't gotten enough movement and strength for the weed eater yet.

I asked my doctor if I could take pictures and he said yes. I did not tell him that I normally shoot at least an hour a day and most of the time more.
