I have just retired! Distance runners need a good "kick" at the end, and there was some extra work involved in wrapping things up. Now I expect to have more time for photography.

We took a quick trip to Key West in celebration. I took the 5DIV with only the 40mm pancake, since emphasis was on snapshot memories rather than creativity. It was great to carry. On other trips I think I will find a way to have more variety of focal lengths, however.

I have now started to use full Photoshop CC and LR in place of Photoshop Elements. Photoshop seemed the only way to get this marker without tourists in the frame!


The prints at the Audubon House certainly brought to mind all the great posts of birds on this forum.

Later this guy was close enough for the 40 mm lens.

We also enjoyed a hike through the state park on Windley Key.
