<p>A good Wednesday to everyone - hope that spring is well under way for all (never mind that quick snow storm in the midwest and the fact that it just dropped 50 degrees outside, in pouring rain - but at least it washes the pollen down!). But pollen or not, it's out-in-the-field time for me. We were on site shooting some video of a very patient tractor operator as he tilled a soybean field, and of course we couldn't spend the day on the farm without bringing along our beloved bird dogs.<br /><br />Can it possibly be that our faithful elder German Shorthair is <em>thirteen</em> years old? It can't be. But he's a fine old gent, still has his canine sense of humor and mischief, and still owns a nose that's never wrong when there's a rabbit or bird within a quarter mile. And he still knows that it's time to pose when I get out the camera. Shot something or someone that's more proof of how fast time is flowing? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>It was near 80+ in south Georgia over the past five days (or so.) One Boeing 777 departing the Atlanta airport.</p><div></div>

<p>Over in the Folkston Funnel, Folkston, Georgia, USA ... a smoking AmTrak locomotive.</p><div></div>

<p>And for those who like to shoot in the night. A Norfolk Southern locomotive adding power to a train moving towards Florida -- in the Folkston Funnel, Folkston, Georgia, USA.</p><div></div>

<p>And one more photo for the airplane buffs. One China Air Cargo jet departing Atlanta, Georgia, USA.</p><div></div>

<p>A blacksmith shop in Galena shows its age...</p><div></div>

<p>Fruit blossoms in Oregon's Hood River Valley last Saturday morning.</p><div></div>

[Ray House]

<p>OK, somebody has to post one...</p><div></div>

<p>Nice moon! We didn't get to see the eclipse, here in the UK.<br>

I've been out and about with my trusty P7100 this week.</p>

<p>Here's a view of the London Eye:</p><div></div>

[peteraitch]

<p>This is Canary Wharf station, from the front of an automatic train on the Docklands Light Railway. The window was not very clean!</p><div></div>

[peteraitch]

<p>The last one is taken through the window of a ferry, going up the Thames. It's been cleaned up a bit in PS.</p><div></div>

[jose_angel]

<p>An enlargement of a very small portion of a 35mm frame (TX). Scanned MGIV FB print.<br /> My buddy is kidding about his finding while diving on a phoenician site:</p><div></div>

[ShunCheung]

<p>I enjoy 11 fps on the D4S. It is great for capturing action sequences as it provides a lot of samples to choose from.</p><div></div>

<p>I met Katie, walking Bullet and Marley, while revisiting t<a href="/photodb/folder?folder_id=1064361">he Stickplace Heath</a>, the field where I'd photographed some spooky looking bare trees over the winter. I hadn't visited the field for a couple of weeks, and they'd gone from bare with no sign of buds to leafed out in a short time. The tree formations that resembled a skeletal archer and Wadjet or the Eye of Horus when bare looked a bit less ominous with their leaves on.<br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17737621-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="455" /><br /> Katie, walking Bullet (at front) and Marley.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17737620-md.jpg" alt="DSC_8723.JPG" width="680" height="455" border="0" /><br /> The Archer seems almost camouflaged in springtime.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17737622-md.jpg" alt="DSC_8700.JPG" width="680" height="455" border="0" /><br /> Wadjet's Eye of Horus needs some Visine.</p>

<p><em>Nikon V1, 10-30 VR and some with SB-N5 fill flash. All JPEGs straight from camera, but resized and watermarked by photo.net's uploader - too lazy to edit this week</em>.</p>

<p>Black dogs in the hot sun - their fur gets really hot to the touch but it doesn't seem to bother them. This is Malachai lounging on the patio on the first 80 degree day this spring.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shot Ray! I captured this just prior to the full eclipse and 'blood' moon. Unlike a typical partial moon which has a definitive shape, the eclipse appeared to swallow up the moon like a fog slowly moving over it.</p><div></div>

[rarmstrong]

<p>Well, yes we have had some spring snow in upper Michigan. My road yesterday...</p><div></div>

[rarmstrong]

<p>And this...</p><div></div>

[rarmstrong]

<p>And one more with the Sigma 10-20 at 10 mm....</p><div></div>

[bogdan_nicolescu]

<p> </p><div></div>

[lornesunley]

<p>I did one of these too ....</p><div></div>

[Bill J Boyd]

<p>My very first shot with the new D7100 and 70-300mm lens I bought yesterday afternoon. </p><div></div>

[Kent Shafer]

<p>Here in the Detroit area yesterday's snowstorm dropped, officially, 3.1 inches, setting a new record for the snowiest winter on record here—94.8 inches total. The old record was 93.6 inches in the winter of 1880–1881.</p><div></div>

<p>Today the 16/4 is the Danish queen’s birthday, so 27 salutes from the Kronborg Castle.<br>

Do not know why it is 27.</p><div></div>

<p>Very rare for us to get to see Hummers in Florida. They stopped by at Honeymoon Island State Park for about a week to enjoy the thistle flowers. Only the second time I've seen one in Fl. Nikon D3X, Nikon 300 2.8, 1/2000 sec, F/4, ISO 400</p><div></div>
