<p>Hello All.<br>

I had a meeting up in NW Indiana. Fortunately this is exactly where I wanted to be for an Indiana Fall spectacular, the coming of the Sandhill Cranes, thousands of them.<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18302503-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Jasper Pulaski Wildlife Refuge, Indiana. Pentax K3 150-450 (yes, this is one of the last images I got with this lens)<br>

<p>Beaver Abstract, Willow Slough, IN. Pentax K3, 150-450</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Sorry to hear about the lens, hope it's quickly fixed/replaced. Great crane pic! I envy anyone who takes moving bird pics. They seem to elude me.<br>

I was in the mid-Hudson Valley recently and saw what turned out to be the peak and last of fall colors<br>

Colors 1</p><div></div>

<p>Colors 2</p><div></div>

<p>Then the winds came...<br>

No, that's not dust on my sensor, it's one of the many flying leaves.</p><div></div>

<p>Doug, Have the dimensions been enlarged for photos, on here?</p>

<p>Howard,</p>

<p>I am unaware of any changes. But I'll check.</p>

<p>It may be because mine are centered and are surrounded by white space that they look smaller than yours.The landscapes are all 700px wide.</p>

<p>Got ya. Mine are all 900px wide so I guess the answer is yes.</p>

<p>When I right click for the info, it says photo (yours and mine) was scaled to 700px.</p>

<p>Went out early one morning last week. Sunrise was nice but not off the charts like they can be. Still a great morning to be out!<br>

Fun (but flawed) pic of our kitty Astro. We have this tiny coffee mug so my wife made her a little miniature pancake to complete the scene. <br>

Took this on a sunset walk with the dog last night. Leaves are all gone ushering in "stick season" here. <br>

<p>Been riding a lot this year and it has continued into the fall.<br>

1) A historical ride through the battlefield that helped to win the Revolutionary War at Saratoga National Historical Park.</p><div></div>

<p>2) Fall scene in the northeast</p><div></div>

<p>3) View from the deck</p><div></div>

<p>Bob, looks like a great panorama! Matt, that kitty picture is fun, but with a little more DOF could be epic.</p>
