<p>A good and peaceful Wednesday to all you Nikon People. These couple of weeks leading up to the holidays are simply always too, too stressing for everyone. I'm still sticking with my own approach from last week - to savor simple things, and get a few photos of them when they strike me. The nice little slice of Americana that is a local seasonal horse parade brought out lots of people wanting to enjoy something simple (and smelling slightly of animals!). What basic stuff of life around you caught your eye and lens this week? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>And in keeping with normal small-town life, just another guy walking his dogs down main street. </p><div></div>

<p>Greeting to everybody! I am sticking to my favorite subject -- my dog, this time with his new toy.</p><div></div>

<p>Autumn Brook</p><div></div>

<p>Chef Lewis</p>

<p>Outside of the Swatch store in Central, Hong Kong, we saw this model dressed in a gold bodysuit promoting the watches. Notice that she had one watch on each wrist.

<p>Peninsula Hotel at night. Nikon D800E with 17-35mm/f2.8 AF-S at 17mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Why do some photos get under your skin for no reason you can find, and even if they do things (like lines leading out of the frame) they're not supposed to? This does for me. Pen yr Oleu Wen.</p><div></div>

<p>Attachment here...</p><div></div>

<p>One more from a few weeks ago...</p><div></div>

<p>This is my friend, Michelle Mullen, last week during taping for an upcoming United States Bowling Congress instructional DVD. Michelle is one of the world's top coaches.</p><div></div>

<p>This shot was taken from Canaveral Beach Fl. This is the Kennedy Space Center launch pads miles away in the distance. Nikon D3, Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC 20-III, F/20, SS 1/250, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>A Happy Wednesday and Greetings to Everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>While we were walking out in the snow and frost a flock of Bohemian Waxwings came to pose for their portraits</p><div></div>

<p>and another</p><div></div>

<p>a third</p><div></div>

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

This is a first attempt at using a home studio lighting kit. It is evident that I've got lots to learn. </p><div></div>

<p>Playing around with my new rescue</p><div></div>

<p>Caroline was a stranger who I met in Savannah, GA. I had rented a NIKKOR 85mm f1.4 - sweet!<br>

<p>While starting to prepare dinner the other night, I was peeling a piece of ginger when I paused for a moment and saw a bear-like shape emerge. It reminded me that playfulness is a wonderful antidote to stress.</p><div></div>

<p>We saw this on a recent hike. Still not sure what it is...</p>
