Re: PESO: mushrooms on chestnut tree
Thanks Ann and others for comments. Yes, you can eat velvet shank mushrooms. A cultivated (white) variety is enoki-take well known in Asian food and claimed to have health benefits. But you have to be careful not picking a similar looking mushroom, the deadly galerina (funeral bell)!

For many years I’d get paper prints in 12x18 at Costco. Unfortunately they no longer have in-store printing. For display I use Bay photo, which for me has the benefit of being local. I am a big fan of metal prints for display as they look great even without a frame, and if they get something on them they can be cleaned. They also can have the wonderful deep blacks that would make Cibachrome prints look so nice. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret4est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Printing service recommendations sought
Hi Rick, The only printing I've had done for me has been canvas wrap prints, which I've had printed by Artistic Photo Canvas in Florida. They're still around, and I imagine still do a lovely job. I'd recommend them if you want canvas wraps. Everything else I've done in prints are printed with my home system … I used to use an Epson R2400, switched to an Epson P600 some years ago, likely around 2017. The P600 makes superb prints up to 13x19 inch cut sheet sized. I'm sure others have had prints done by a service. I occasionally take a printing job for some work. If you're interested in that, we can talk off line. G > On Jan 10, 2023, at 6:33 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > > I have several photos on the wall that have darkened over the years, and lost > their charm.

Re: PDML - PDFG ?
I was on Usenet starting in 1984 when I was working at JPL/NASA. The modern hypertext-based internet and "world wide web" dates from around 1993 when the first web browsers started to appear. That's about when I stopped looking at Usenet and other archaic-isms from the 1980s. Email lists became popular a little earlier than the web browsers, and many of the groups I still participate in are still on email services that were first defined in 1990 and 1991.

Re: Printing service recommendations sought
Are you talking about printing from chromes , negatives or digital files? What size? If you have jpg files and 8 1/2" x 11 print would work , I'll make some for you at cost.

Re: PDML - PDFG ?
Usenet is a relatively ancient system for posting information, messages and the like. It was originally phone based relying on dial up modems. It’s now internet based. It’s very basic and straightforward. Although you need an access app, you don’t have to subscribe to a service like Facebook. It’s rather inelegant but old timers embrace it as a computer geek badge of honor.

Re: Pentax A 35-105mm F/3.5 Macro Zoom
Thanks Collin, By chance I actually came across a ‘parts or spares and repair’ example of a Nikkor AF-S 28-70/2.8 which, when I enquired, was told that it would not autofocus (I only need manual focus and aperture). I know something of these lenses as I have the 17-35/2.8 and have already had that apart to adapt it for video use. So for 130GBP I have a lens that goes for betwen 3 tp 6 times that depending on condition. It’s a stellar perfomer apparently which is what I need for HD video. Tweakers and drivers at the ready!

Re: Fun in the rain
Thanks Paul, Allan, Mike Henk, Rick et. al. Short update, last night’s big storm was really noisy for a while, but it din’t lst long, it seems to only have dropped 0.2” of rain. But, I woke up to the power being out, yet again. If you go to the PG outage map https://pgealerts.alerts.pge.com/outagecenter/ and plug in my address, 7522 HIGHWAY 9 FELTON CA 95018 it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting power again soon. We’ve got some more weather coming in this afternoon. This morning Zab told me that one of her friends lost all of the redwoods in her fairy ring, taking out the water main to the house. The good news is that only one of them hit the house, and only went through the roof in one place. If only one redwood hitting your house is good news, then you must live in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Re: Fun in the rain
The Guadalupe River Bypass in downtown San Jose was built about a couple/three dozen years ago to prevent the occasional heavy rain years' swelling of the Guadalupe River and subsequent flooding of the surrounding neighborhoods. On a normal, dry, summer day the river is essentially a 6" deep, 8 foot wide trickle flowing through the channel 15 feet below and to the side of the bottom of the big concrete bypass structures, and the bottom of the Coleman Avenue Overpass that goes over the river is 30-40 feet above the level of the water. Saturday, the water line was 2 feet above the bottom of the bypass structure. I haven't been down there to observe since, but on a similar rainy week a number of years ago, I saw the water level reach 2 feet from the top of the bypass structure and close to the bottom of the overpass… It's been raining a lot. Deepest darkest Santa Clara where I live (about four miles from that part of the Guadalupe River) is at an elevation of 90 feet so little flooding here so far, although the flood channels along the San Tomas and Cabrillo streams/river have more than double the usual depth of water in them. Larry lives in the Santa Cruz mountains about 25 miles to the south and west of me, on the western side of the slopes, which get a lot more rainfall than I do here in the south end of Santa Clara Valley.

Re: PESO: mushrooms on chestnut tree
Toine, those are beautiful shots! Chestnuts were the dominant tree species here in Pennsylvania (and many other areas in the US) until a fungal blight arrived in 1904. Our house, built in 1886, has chestnut woodwork throughout. It is so resistant to rot that even our window frames are in fairly good shape. Some stands of blight-resistant chestnut have been planted experimentally, but of course it will be years before their fate is clear. The European chestnut (fortunately for all of you across the pond) has been rescued by a virus that is a blight on the fungus.
