It's a dandelion stalk. Besides they don't sell candy cigarettes anymore. They call them sugar sticks or something like that. And they no longer have the little daub of red dye on the tip so's ya can pretend it's a real lit cigarette. Our youths were lived in more innocent times... Anyway,

Excellent, Frank. I really like that he's chowing down on that dandelion. Also, it appears the rabbits are bigger up there than they are down here, by a fair margin. Great shot. -- Walt On 6/2/2013 11:29 AM, knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: Had an excellent photography day yesterday.

I think the 50, 80-200 and the 28-135 would normally set you back a bit over 200, the rest is gravy. In fact KEH.com has a 28-135mm in stock right now in bargain condition for $135... On 6/3/2013 10:34 PM, Walt wrote: So, I came an opportunity to buy this bunch of photo equipment -- *for
