Hey Bill - Yep - the skink was maybe 50 yards south of the dam. I was back there today but it was 65 F, cloudy, an spitting rain - so no skinks. I had mistakenly thought that these critters were blue tailed skinks, but when I looked into it I found out that blue tailed skinks are found far to the south of Michigan - these five lined skinks look a lot like blue tails when they are young, but mature adults are just uniform brown. So - there's m next assignment - find a mature adult... I don't know how things have been on your side of the state, but these last two weeks have brought about 5 inches of rain to the western part. That old farmstead off 48th street is nothing but dragonflies on a warm day now. I hope visit it tomorrow - I would not be surprised if the rather dry marsh was now back to visible-water stages. Regarding the Sigma 180 macro - ouch! Do you know what went wrong with it? later - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, Michigan www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
