This week we went to the Cagle's Mill/Cataract Falls/Lieber State Park area in Indiana. I had forgotten how bad

the roads could be but the memory came back quickly as we went from area to area. Any stream or creek that had a

steady flow of water usually had a grist mill in pioneer times. Cagle's Mill was one of them but time has removed the mill itself. The spillway (I think) is still there. I am getting familiar with the Nex 3 and kit lens. I checked Bokeh with

a day lily. Post up to three of your Sony pictures with the long side no more than 700 pixels.<div>00cf0j-549257784.jpg.58190a5fab92372ef0ec98d9d07ea543.jpg</div>

<p>A walk in the woods. Many times I've been there, always something new to capture. Or try to.<br>

<p>Lovely fungus Patrick! Somehow it makes me think of shrimp dumplings dim sum style :)</p>

<p>Got all my final exams finally graded last Tuesday so I headed up to the Silverwood Lake area in san bernardino mountains for a few days of macro fun as well -</p>

<p>Thanks Paul! Your macros are much better than mine, I think. I was traveling with my ultra lightweight kit: the a58 and 55-200mm lens. Man, that's a lot o' plastic. :) I wasn't able to get real close with the lens but some of the shots came out ok. Those of us not swayed by the a7 nor the NEX can still make a halfway decent image once in a while! :)</p>

<p>Randy, I did try an attachable loupe-style finder for the NEX-3 that enabled you to use the camera at eye-level. I'll see if I can find a link to the product page. It's a bit Heath-Robinson in approach but treated with care can help address the issues of using the LCD in bright light.</p>

<p>I have been travelling so am late with photos. I spent a week mostly in Brittany, but started in Normandy with a visit to Le Mont St Michel - here is a famous view as a two-frame panorama</p>

(NEX-7 and SEL 55-210 zoom)<br>

I had had some photos selected for an open-air exhibition in the town of Landerneau; here one inhabitant looks at a picture I took of Iford Manor near Bradford on Avon in England.</p>

(That's the biggest print I have ever seen of one of my pictures.) (NEX-7 and SEL 18-55 zoom)<br>

Prior to setting off to France the previous weekend we visited westernmost Oxfordshire and Kelmscott Manor, the former home of William Morris. The last picture is a view of the Manor skyline.</p>
