nice new toy. The pictures are well done. ...Hi Ken,<br />nice new toy. The pictures are well done. The focus is at the right point and the details are clear to see.<br />I'm not pretty familiar with Lightroom. I hope the learning curve is not too high. But the good thing it's operating visual so you can immediately see what you get.<br />Cheers,<br />StefanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-19748938891863307192015-12-11T15:51:19.739-08:002015-12-11T15:51:19.739-08:00Ken that first pic is a sight better than the one ...Ken that first pic is a sight better than the one you posted on the nose boo-boo.Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-80524378047549921672015-12-11T13:29:47.996-08:002015-12-11T13:29:47.996-08:00Bob,
I don't know who that OF in the photo is...Bob,<br /><br />I don't know who that OF in the photo is, I'm sure if I look around I can find the selfie I made....Damn Bubba you have gotten old.<br /><br />Those are Saguaro cactus, They are pretty much limited to the Sonoran desert because they are pollinated by a Mexican Bat of limited range. Most will have Woodpecker nests and as the Woodpeckers move on other critters move in. After Spring rains they flower and for a few weeks the birds have a feast. <br /><br />We live on the edge of the Saguaro National Park so there are a few in the neighborhood :-). BTW, I've seen a few deserts around the world and the Sonoran is one of the prettiest.<br /><br />I should add, several years ago I made several "Saguaros" out of some old 4X4's one of which has served as our Winter Solstice Tree each year. <br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-16353771356664795192015-12-11T09:35:27.138-08:002015-12-11T09:35:27.138-08:00Good pics, here's hoping the first one did not...Good pics, here's hoping the first one did not break the camera :-)<br />That cactus in the pic look foreign to me, I'm used to much smaller ones in pot inside the house. At one time Heather used to grow Bromeliads. <br />Giant cactus and Palm trees is not something we see much around here... except in indoor botanical gardens. They probably would not make as good a Christmas tree as our plentiful mighty pines :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPauEEgvnqkValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.com
