Re: GESO: Swan Lake (Lagoon?)

Nice images, Nicole. was that really a lagoon? South Jersey in general, and Ca[e May Point in particular, are over-run with mute swans. They are displacing native species, and that causes great concerns, as Cape May is a birding hot spot. I have seen swans in Lake Lilly and Lighthouse Lake,

One last set of photos from my New Jersey trip. While in Cape May, I stumbled across a lagoon that had about 50 swans in it. Luckily I caught a glimpse of them through the bushes, or I would have gone right on by… https://flic.kr/s/aHskCegaHg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

PESO: Nike of Epheses

One of the many treasures of Ephesus is this relief carving of Nike, the winged goddess victory. She holds a wreath of laurel leaves, an emblem of victory, in her left hand, and a stalk of wheat in her right hand and is shown flying. This work dates from the Roman period, and was discovered among

Re: 55-300

OK, here is your backup story. If she gets on you about the new lens, tell her it is one you bought for me. You got a better deal than I was able to find due to some currency fluctuation thing. In recognition of the favor you are doing me, you have the use of the lens for awhile. “And I do like

K-1 mounting plate arrived

For those of you who use the Swiss-Acra standard camera and lens plates … Kirk had plates for the K-1 available on pre-order shortly after the K-1 was announced this spring. I put my name on their list about the same time I pre-ordered the K-1. Said plate arrived today and, as expected, fits

Har! What are you going to do? Hide it in the garage for the first six months so that when your significant other finally sees it and asks "Is that another new lens?", you can honestly answer "No, I've had it for months" ??? Had a friend who used to do that whenever he wanted to buy a new
