I know that! No doctor in their right mind would diagnose an EXECUTIONER with MBS (Monkey Butt Syndrome).

Butt can you just imagine the telethon? Of course it would take a real Ass to host it. Blago would be PERFECT!!!

The telethon grab line would be...

Give 'til it ITCHES!

Yeah sure Rick, the Walmart story was a bit on the safe side as far as a "cover up". I pegged you as being more creative then that. Perhaps its the monkey butt taking it's toll. You will get through it. we are here for you!

Day 104

Masks - Nebulizer (mask) Treatment

Ok, quite obvious what my entry is going to be this week, however going to keep you hanging till the last minute I have a lot of variations I'm going be work on. In the mean time I will show you how creative I can be without doing the obvious shot for me.

Day 106
My Mom's Puppy

My Mom came out today for dinner. Here she's holding her puppy "Sunshine" who she will be taking home with her on Mothers day.

My other choice was our dinner, but I did not want to tease you with Pork, Dumplings, Sour Kraut, and Gravy, one of my favorite Cech / Bohemian dishes that my mom makes.

Day 107
JUMP!

Thought this was going to be easy to shot but it was not. Not happy with the way they turned out. Something about it I don't like. Not as clear and crisp on the jumpers as I would like.

Day 108
I got Goose Bumps

Today's 365 is more like a 300mm play date than really a photo. Took everyone's advice and upped my ISO (which I was thinking about doing anyhow) but I also set my aperture at f/8 as suggested. I am very pleased with the results. I am much happier with this lens now at these settings. No longer do the photos have a gray dull look/cast to them at 300mm. I now have a good foundation to build on. Still having some kind of focusing issue at 300mm, (not shown in this shot) guess I'm going to have to learn how to focus at this close of range. Still had shots that two or more subjects close together where one is in focus and the other is not. Something else I'm going to have to play with I guess. Thanks to all that replied to my thread.

Great shots of the geese, Rick. Nice and sharp. Good idea to bump up the ISO. Turned out nice and crisp. Good work, my friend. :)

By the way..........those are Canada geese, eh! ;)

Yes they are Jack, I should send the little @&$%#$ 'S home! I'm sure you know they are now a nuisance here in the states Non-migrating Geese. Nothing better I like than to walk up on the 9th green to find it littered with Goose "poop". Going to have to add a new club to my bag.....A pooper scooper, that or a 12 Gauge and lots of birdshot. LOL, just kidding I'm an animal lover, only thing I shoot is with my camera.

Day 109
American Coot - Whatbird.com

Today's 365 is another 300mm play date. Yesterday Sunny and a little windy and cool. Today, not fit for man or beast. Cold, windy, cloudy, and rain.

Interesting that I shot this at the same settings as yesterday and same place, but this time in horrible conditions. Spotted these guys and wanted to go back to see if I could get them. Shot from the car window due to the fact that they spook real easy, tried to get out of the car to shoot them and they take off for the water. I really did not want to stand out in the rain. I really didn't even want to go out today. Thought about an inside shot, but wanted to try my settings on a bad day. Glad I did.
