22, July. 2016 Today is mowing day... one of the many things that I can no longer do, but my brother-in-law and his wife come out and help... So yesterday was a blast but today was one of recovery so I took photos of lawn mowin'.... All part of the pageantry

get the impression that the shots are of a horse farm - clean and neat.

Yes they are. Between home and Lexington there are a ton of Horse Farms. That was part of the old Calumet farm. All the fences used to be white but now they are almost all black... I want to say creosote but my memory fails... the tax right offs of painting fences every year kind of went away. But they are all still just pristine.

25, July, 2016 A day of Doctor visits today. Trying to figure out the headaches. I did not really have much time to shoot, but I did get this cloud shot.

Beautiful clouds, but you have quite a large dust bunny on your sensor in the upper left corner. Now it can easily be taken out with photoshop but at some point it might be a good idea to give your sensor a bit of "Rocket blaster" air puff treatment. And don't forget that the dust you see on the picture would be in the bottom right corner of your sensor.

Yea, I saw that just after I posted it... but thank you... and thank you for the reminder of the location of the dust. It is easy to forget that kind of stuff.

A friend of mine buzzed the house this morning in his helicopter... at least I think it was him... But before I could gather evidence he was gone. Since I had the 200-500 mounted I walked the dog and got a couple birds in the tree at the end of the drive a bit closer than usual.

Well a friend of mine always says that dust bunnies need a place to live also. Of course she does not have a dslr.

27, July, 2016 Still hot and humid here, but a decent day. I actually got out a bit to shoot. May have gone a bit further than I should have, but I got home okay chilled for a while. :encouragement:

Took an old road I had not been on in a while. It was nice to see water in the streams. This time of year can be pretty dry, but we have been getting a decent amount of rain for late July.

Quieter day today... Rainy day and such. Did more porch sitting than running, but it was still a good day. I like having the Gimbal Head for this big lens. It really helps me out a lot.
