Re: OT: Getting the Drop on you!

I think zero would be a bit cool for me! We are in the middle of a very wet spell thanks to Cyclone Eloise & a large frontal system which came up the coast. All the East flowing rivers are in flood & most of the Kruger Park is shut down. Most places around here had well over 100mm in 2 days &

PESO x 2 : Queen iof the Night

These images are of an invasive, climbing Cactus (Hylocereus Undatus) known here as the "Queen of the Night" originating from Central America. They only flower for few hours at night & in the early morning so this was a lucky sighting. I rushed home from my jog to get my camera. The

That's a welcome sight here. it's 30°C at the moment with 36 forecast for tomorrow and 32 for Wednesday. At least it's a change from the cool and wet summer we've had so far. Cheers, Dave > On Jan 25, 2021, at 6:15 AM, Alan C wrote: > > Proxy: From my daughter in Surrey, UK: > >

PESO -- Chapman Falls: Winter 2021

I revisited Chapman Falls in the Devils Hopyard State Park, in East Haddam, Connecticut.  Less snow this year than two years ago, it makes for a better photo I think.  Almost monochrome. http://webster26.epizy.com/peso/PESO--ChapmanFallsWinter2021.html Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/Sigma 10-20mm
