3. Thank you George. Sharing such beauty gives your viewers a respite from the current political

ugliness.

[George McGovern]

4. Wonderful!

I got a 14mm. lens (full frame) to capture rainbows without stitching, so then a double rainbow showed up.

Of course, I use it for other subjects.

Do the stitch next time.

[George McGovern]

7. Thanks usonian! Used to be a stitch in time saved nine, 'course that was another time.

12. Still true.

A button popped off my 50+ year old Pea Coat recently and I don't think I've sewn it back in.

No periodic maintenance! Will do.

2025 is the 50th anniversary of my discharge from the Coast Guard. And as Herbert T. Gillis would say, "WITH the good conduct medal"

I was already into photography and met a buddy who did part time work in a camera store (Danger, Will Robinson). The base photographer would throw my film into a batch that was already scheduled. Had some fun.

We had another buddy who was into deer hunting, but the two of us were so enthusiastic about photography that he soon was shooting animals with a camera and telephoto lens.

Enjoy your fabulous new location.

10. Amazing. Take that as a sign that you are truly blessed. The photograph looks like one of

those pictures within a globe. The coloring on the trees from right to left is interesting.

17. What a stunning photo. Just what I needed to see first thing this morning!

Right over your new property, too! That’s a good omen!

[George McGovern]

26. Good Deal. Thank You Diamond_Dog!

[Mira]

27. This is so grand

What a lucky happening and a beautiful capture. I'd love to see this with just the rainbow and the treetops, though the car does add some visual weight to the image, as well as to the narrative of you stopping to take the photo.

[George McGovern]

28. Thank You Mira. Is this version more like what you're thinking about?

Let me know please how you feel about this cropped copy.

Thanks,
Allan
