A Nikon Wednesday to everyone. This being the official Winter Of Our Discontent (it's supposed to start snowing here again in about three hours), drastic measures are necessary. There had to be someplace to make photographs that would in some way address this ongoing assault. Yes! The local brew-pub's official brewer was just the guy to talk to. He has lots of shiny toys.<br /><br />Photographed anything shiny, alcohol-related, or otherwise soothing to the soul in this endless winter? Share! Here's a pump fitting in a row of fermentation tanks.</p><div></div>

<p>And, some transfer pipes, with hardware monitoring and control gear in the background.</p><div></div>

<p>And once the work's done, it's stored in distribution tanks (giant kegs, really) that feed pressurized service right to the taps on the bar. Science! </p><div></div>

<p>Because it's been so horribly cold, I haven't been to the zoo in a while. Finally, it was warm enough last week.</p>

<p>This old lady is normally very reclusive. On this visit, she finally agreed to pose for me. As a bonus, she even stuck out her tongue!</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a Red Panda.</p>

<p>We got caught out fishing on Saturday in some real dense fog. We were creeping along real slow and out of the fog came PIRATES :) Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300 3.5, 145 MM, 1/500 sec, F/14, ISO 1000</p><div></div>

<p>These guys ....</p><div></div>

<p>are watching this guy</p><div></div>

<p>who is keeping an eye on me ...</p><div></div>

<p>The birds in upper Michigan are still here braving the extreme cold...</p><div></div>

<p>And another...</p><div></div>

<p>And one more...</p><div></div>

<p>This Shayna, our newest greyhound. She came to Michigan from Florida, where she competed in 160 races. She is bursting with energy. She wants to play.</p><div></div>

<p>Excellent images everyone! My contribution for today was taken at a car show, when the weather was warm and we didn't have any snow on the ground.</p><div></div>

<p>Spring interrupted!</p><div></div>
