Took a nice drive up through Wisconsin (Green Bay and Door County), U.P. Michigan (Mackinac), Ontario (Sault St Marie, Parry Sound, Royal Botanical Gardens), and Niagara Falls before heading home to West Virginia. Here are a few of the gazillion photos.
If you want to see the entire travelogue with photos and notes, please visit my website: http://michaelelyard.com/WisconsinCanada2018.htm (Note - some of the photos on my website travelogue were taken with my wife's D3100 and our Coolpix L830)
Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Gulls on a boat.
St Ignace, Michigan - looking out over Lake Huron towards Mackinac Island. Sunrise #1.
St Ignace, Michigan. Sunrise #2.
Point Iroquois Lighthouse, Brimley State Park, Michigan.
About 20 miles west of Sault St Marie.
Old Dodge truck at Muskoka Lakes Winery, Ontario.
Cranberry bogs and lots of wine!!!
Bee on flowers at Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
About an hour south of Toronto. You could spend days here photographing.
Be sure to go to the rock garden!
Getting more comfortable with the D7200. I find myself using Aperture mode outdoors so I can select depth of field quickly.
Need to get one of the shoulder straps like my son has. The back of my neck (already sunburned) was pretty chafed by the end of the week.

The rain stopped for a while this morning, so I walked over to the edge of the woods where a Rose Of Sharon was out in bloom. I saw a few bees and lucked out getting one decent photo (out of about 6 tries) of a bee on the flower. There were also an active pair of blue jays in the surrounding trees.
Hope you enjoy them. Click for full size.
I think all photos were done on Aperture Priority using the AF-S Nikkor 55x300 4.5-5.6 VR lens.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse - Acadia National Park - Maine
This is also posted in my regular thread. I keep getting blown away by this body. To me there is a definite difference between this sensor and my D7100. The only thing this camera lacks that I wish it had is a tilt screen. This is an historic building: The Moon-Williamson Log House built in the 1760's. I've never been inside, yet I found out today that they offer guided tours during certain times of the year. There are several historic buildings that are included in the tour. Maybe someday I will take it.

Whale watch today on Cape Cod

Stopped by to check out some of the very nice restored tractors at the 2018 Garrett County (Maryland) Fair. I especially liked this 1958 Ford Powermaster 861. Perhaps because 1958 wasn't just a great year for tractors!

Classic grille and front emblem.
Gotta love any vehicle named "Powermaster"!
The subject.
A lot of time and effort (and $$) went into fixing these old tractors up. Many led a long, hard life in the field before restoration.
I could spend hours looking, but a black raspberry milkshake was calling my name!
For my whole day's photo essay: http://www.michaelelyard.com/GarrettCoFair2018.htm

Another recent whale watch - Cape Cod, MA

My wife and I visited the Old Friends Race Horse Retirement Farm in Georgetown, Kentucky last week. She was asking about going there for several months, and I thought I'd maybe enjoy it a little since I know very little about horses. Wrong - I enjoyed it a lot! They take old race horses - some have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, some have never won a single race - and give them care in their "senior" years. I learned a lot and it is a place I would highly recommend visiting.

Peaceful scene at the Old Friends farm. Yes, that is a cemetery in the foreground.
Being a "Retirement Home" to over 150 horses means several pass away each year.
Rapid Redux (L) and Amazombie (R)
Being a successful race horse usually means the horse is high-energy, "Alpha Male" type personality.
This means it is sometimes difficult to find two that get along well enough to be in the same paddock.
Rapid Redux and Amazombie hit it off and are good friends.
Rapid Redux holds the record for 22 consecutive victories! He started 42 races and won 28 of them!
Rapid Redux: RAPID REDUX - Old Friends
Amazombie started 29 races: 12 Wins, 5 Second Place, 6 Third Place. Total winnings: $1,920,378.00
Amazombie: AMAZOMBIE - Old Friends
A little farther up the lane, we visited with Little Mike. Very gentle and friendly.
30 Races: 14 Wins! Total winnings - $3,543,392.00
Little Mike: LITTLE MIKE - Old Friends

Andy W - great shots of the hummingbird! ^^^ I've tried several times to get the one on our back patio, but (s)he's in and out in less than a minute. By the time I get the camera, (s)he's gone. Also, ours is backlit because of the angle most of the day. We were at a large nursery south of Oakland Maryland yesterday, though, and saw several. Next time, I may take the camera and hang out.
Mind if I ask what setting you are using? Looks like f/6.3 on all three so I'm guessing aperture priority. I need to get my shutter speed faster as my previous attempts (with aperture priority) end up with shutter speeds of around 1/125 to 1/500 and blurry. I will experiment with setting the ISO higher. I see yours are in the 800-1000 range but still very clear.
Life is a constant learning curve. LOL.

I was in manual mode and raised the ISO up so I could have a fast shutter speed. F8 probably would have been a bit sharper, but I wanted the aperture wide open for more light. Do you have a feeder for them near your patio? We have three feeders near our deck which keeps them around.

Thanks for the reply. My wife has about 30-40 flowers on our back patio. There are a few like begonias (?) and morning glories that seem to attract this one. Unfortunately, they are in partial shade, and the background is a wide-open yard with bright sunlight. Hard to get a good shot with that kind of back lighting. The greenhouse was covered in semi-opaque plastic that I think would be good lighting. Too bad they are an hour away.
