<p>Good Morning Everyone!<br>

Matt, really sorry to hear about your friend's misadventure. Thank God his family escaped safe with no injuries. But I guess not all of his family...from what mentioned in your introductory text 20 souls were lost to that fire. His beloved bird dogs were gone in an instance. That's a heavy load for someone to carry...I wouldn't want to be in his position...noway. The good think is that there still exist real people out there that can help each other in times of need. This is very encouraging for him and his family. I will pray for your friend and his family to recover soon, and also for the twenty lost souls...thus my picture for this week. <br>

<p>With the weather cooperating and fall colors starting to come out in the PNW I decided to take the 20/4 out for a bit of fun. Suddenly 20mm doesn't seem so wide. Unfortunately the 58 doesn't seem to want to focus to infinity after Nikon's latest adjustments to the D600.</p>

<p>Somewhat on track with Matt's theme perhaps, this is my friend, Mary, and her friend, Q. Q is training to be a leader dog for the blind. He'll know in a couple of months whether or not he makes the cut for that job. If he doesn't, Mary might feel obligated to adopt him, which I think wouldn't break her heart.</p><div></div>

<p>John P - I think that photo of the running buck works great. But I'm partial to blurry photos that suggest rather than define images. I tend to scan through theses photos pretty quickly but that one caught my eye and, as Emo Philips said, dragged it 15 feet.</p>

<p>Fall colours do not seem to be in any kind of rush here - it still seems summer, except for an occassional cloud obscuring the view on Mt. Etna (taken w/ D700 and AF 85mm f/1.8D, 1/250, F/11, ISO200)</p><div></div>

<p>Matt, sorry to hear about your friends tragedy, horrible thing to lose everything and 20 dogs at once...<br /> Dogs and hunting, that's what one of my shots is about - our little one went for her first blood trail training on Sunday and she did quite well. We also had the first snow last week, and I did a small model shoot. :)</p>
