Where’s Everybody Going?
I finally gave in and bought a longer lens.
Sigma 150-600.
I used to say that I was too cheap to buy one and too lazy to carry it around.
Have gotten some good shots of things standing still, have a ways to go with fast movers.

I love all the bird photos!

Here's one I took a while back. I posted it in the lounge and asked for captions, this was my favorite (sadly, I can't remember who came up with it):

And here's an eagle enjoying his lunch while on the back of the Loch Ness monster:

I forgot to mention that a few seconds after I took this one, the fish that the eagle was eating slipped into the water, and apparently sank, because the eagle just stood there, looking into the water, and looking very disappointed!

I rolled my ATV over backwards yesterday.

I managed to only fracture my left scapula and a friend rode it back to his place for me.

At least you're not seriously injured, that's bad enough!
Quick recoveries Rubi!

Thank you. I'm feeling pretty grateful this morning.

Glad you're doing well. An ATV wreck in the back country is never a small thing.

Thank you. Been riding for years and this was a first for me.

 

[pmanton]

Ouch! get well soon.

Speedy recovery Rubi.

A lesson for us all. No matter how much experience we may have, The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate is always waiting for that "GOTCHA!" moment.

Get well soon

Well, being George's age, I'd be more worried about stamina than money. Just sayin....

Found this one on the net, but it sums it up well.

Here's a shot I took of Allen Street in Tombstone, Arizona in 2007. Doesn't look far off of the way it was back in 1881 - the year of the OK Corral fight.



This is the interior of the old Crystal Palace Saloon in Tombstone.



This is Boot Hill Cemetery.



This is the old Tombstone city hall - still standing since the 1880s, and still operational.



This is the Wyatt Earp statue, erected just east of his former home, a portion of which can be seen to the left.




This is the the old Cochise County courthouse - no longer in business, as the county seat moved to Bisbee many years ago This picture was taken in 1940, when it was abandoned.



This is the same old courthouse as restored today.

.

Inside the courthouse today, we have some contemporary portraits of some famous former Tombstone residents.




This is the courtroom of the old Cochise County courthouse, which has now been restored. My maternal grandfather served on juries here around the turn of the 20th Century.



And this is the two-rope gallows on the west side of the courthouse. I've often thought of some deserving modern-day characters who might qualify for a purposeful visit here.

Well, it's officially springtime in Georgia. The Bradford Pear trees in my yard are in full bloom. Pretty, but stinky!
