<p>Hi gang.<br>

Great images Harry, Bob. Love the Pussy Willows and the Bridge images.<br>

Just back from Costa Rica. And do I ever have a lot of images to share! I'm at work right now and it maybe a couple of days before I can get things up, but they'll come fast and furious. The K3 was a real trouper especially in the rain (my friends Canon gear had to stay stashed much of the bad weather). If anything I think I need to replace the 55-300 with a WR version for the future.</p>

<p>Best wishes,</p>

<p>Looking forward to seeing those Doug! I'd love to take a trip to Costa Rica one day. <br>

The unsettled weather here has continued this week but we got some nice windows in the weather and some nice stormy skies to photograph. <br>

Here's one from an evening ride after a storm that replenished those puddles around our desert trails that I love so much. <br>

My son "headlined" a recital singing and playing his rendition of Live and Let Die which I have to say was really good! He makes me a very proud dad on a regular basis. :)<br>

I stitched this pano in LR6 and it did a good job. I took the photos on a ride last night (surprise surprise) that I was happy to squeeze in between storms. <br>

<p>"how do you keep your head together in all this madness"? a journalist asked Mick Jagger. He replied : "I don't".<br>

That's how it is for me too. Still I somehow manage to squeeze some photo's in :)<br>

<p>Harry, I like that first one. Nice contrasts in tones and texture. <br />Bob, those old bridges are pretty cool. Do you know why they were covered? I've never heard an explanation for that but wondered if it's to keep snow off. <br />Dorus, the flower shot is very nice but I wonder if it should be a touch brighter. Love the detail and crispness of it. <br />Douglas, lovely shots. I like the salamander the best!<br />Yury, looks like a fun day at the lake! Still too cold to swim here without a wetsuit!</p>
