<p>Happy Nikon Wednesday, all. Last Sunday morning we enjoyed a semi-annual indulgence, that being a dawn Carbohydrate Pilgrimage to Bethesda's own Tastee Diner. I first ate something bad for me there in ... 1976, I think. THey've updated the jukebox technology, but that's pretty much all that's changed. Same menu, same dishes and silverware, same ambiance, and same maple syrup. It's illegal to leave without having a stack of pancakes. Spent a recent morning in a greasy landmark with your Nikon gear? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Love the photo Matt. I think I'll have pancakes in the morning! No such indulgences of that kind for me this week. My indulgence was Monday morning sloshing around in a yucky canal watching various forms of wildlife; mostly little minnows, a turtle, and of course...bugs. Second time I've been able to get a shot of mating damselflies, so will share that one. D90/Sigma 150mm/Sigma 1.4x teleconverter @ 1/180, f/8. ISO 400.</p>

<p>I haven't participated on this thread for a while, but I'm always keeping an eye on it.</p>

<p>Here's something from a session I did last weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>Yikes, I posted the wrong photo! Here's last week's moon.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Nikonistas,<br>

Mmmmm Pancakes, great shot Matt all that's missing is the Bacon & scrambled Egg...suddenly my cornflakes seem inadequate this morning! Sorry...anyways...<br>

Here's my contribution to this weeks visual carnival, have been taking shots at work of the guys in the shops making all manner of things...<br>

This guy is grinding the edges of a piece to prepare it for welding...</p><div></div>

<p>The day has just started and already their are some great shots posted.<br>

Mine this week is from a recent trip to Cheeckwood Botanical Gardens outside Nashville, TN. A beautifil place. It is an HDR and I kept it as "normal" as I could with wanting the highlights to stand out.<br>

I used my Nikon D90, Sigma 24-70 @28mm, f2.8, 1/320, iso 200<br>

<p>I recently had the opportunity to visit Olympic National Forest in Washington State...a simply stunning place that I need to get back to very soon. Visiting such a place with a baby does limit the amount of hiking and photographing one can do, but I did manage to get a few good shots. This is one of my favorites. It's Sul Doc Falls, a very reachable destination (about 1.5 miles round-trip).</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday, everybody -- already many great photos.<br>

Mine was taken last week at a dog show.</p><div></div>

<p>Newport Beach Pier in Newport Beach, California, is a popular place in the summer time. People come here to fish and to have fun with their loved ones , whiling away their times on the beach or watching other people having fun. This picture was taken in the afternoon, when the sun was low on the horizon, and shone brightly at the pillars of the pier.</p><div></div>

<p>The joys of going wireless at the Monterey Bay Blues Festival.</p><div></div>

<p>the sleeping seals woke when we approached, so we stopped took a few shots and left them alone</p>

<p>Good Wednesday morning everyone! This one is from Saturday.</p>

<p>Good morning All...My contribution this week is a shot of a small town's fireworks for Bastille Day. I had never shot fireworks before and found it quite challenging.</p><div></div>

Greetings all.

Another week, another wonderful wednesday. And for a change of pace a chicken and mushroom pie for breakfast.

From my side another pic from my recent steam train outing. A sad reminder of the throw away mindset of current times.

Have a wonderful wednesday all!<div></div>

<p>Thanks for the kind comments on my daisies last week; here's something unlike both daisies and carbo loading - some rocks, weathered from the Permian to the ice ages, on a local hill. B+W seemed to suit them.</p><div></div>
