<p>Hello, Nikonistas. Hope your March is going well. On an uncharacteristically balmy night, I spent some time watching the DC Metro system's new Silver Line marching its way ever so slowly out towards Dulles Airport. This giant yellow truss - one of four doing an ultra-slow-motion ballet from pillar to pillar through the Tysons Corner area - is the tool they use to lift and align the massive sections of track support as they go up. It's been quite a thing to watch. <br /><br />What you can't see here are the dozen guys in hardhats crawling around the inside of that apparatus, working the night through. Go, guys. Maybe just a <em>little</em> faster? Pointed your Nikon gear at any Great Works? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Just processed this image today. I was reviewing tubed surfer shots and came across this guy taking one last ride at Rincon Point before the sunset.</p><div></div>

<p>Hey, we're early today!</p>

<p>This is Lulu, enjoying an afternoon at the beach.</p><div></div>

<p>NYC has had great weather and I had the luxury of having Monday off (school holiday because we haven't used a snow day). Decided to take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with my daughters and give them a history lesson (I teach history and love NYC history). This shot was taken as my daughters enjoyed the view of Manhattan. It was processed in Light room 3 and I unsaturated the photo.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings Nikonians, wherever you are in the world! I shot a few still lives a couple of days ago. A new experience for me. Have a nice Wednesday all.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

What do you get when you cross a Fox and a Beaver?<br>

A Feaver?<br>

A Box?<br>

Nope, you get Harry! He celebrated his 1st birthday on Monday.</p><div></div>

<p>You can tell spring is almost here... photos from this and recent weeks are a lot more colorful! This is an Italian Greyhound pausing for a very brief moment from play time - he is extremely playful, graceful and fast!</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings Nikon forum...... Some more snow:</p><div></div>

<p>Spring is coming blessedly early in New England, and "Love Is In the Air": I'm posting my first Wood Ducks! Delighted to find this handsome couple in a nearby pond. Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-300 VR lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday, everybody! So many terrific photos already. <br>

These days I consider myself lucky if I have time to grab the camera and take several shots while walking my dog -- no other photography time, alas. I photographed this labrador retriever while walking my golden retriever on Sunday.</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Jennifer,</p>

<p> That was a nice display at Smith. Very crowded but the photo ops were good. I was a little dissapointed in the orchid room, but the tulips were wonderfull. Here is mine from the same show.</p>

<p> Very nice capture you displayed this week.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday all.<br />Female?</p>
