The weather in Pelican Bay is clear and sunny with a temperature in the low 90s. Take care in retrieving luggage from the overhead bin as it may have shifted . . .

Yeah, I know we're not doing travel anytime soon but we can dream, right?

Everything here shot with the 12-100 f4 pro and a 10mm extension tube. I lose some magnification but gain working distance. Needless to say the keep rate isn't good but the auto focus is astonishingly fast and if I am fortunate enough to get a lock it is dead on. Technology, use it but prepare to do without it. There is a reason they put Manual on your camera.

5.5 more miles toward my goal.

As an aside, does that cactus bloom look a little, uh, horny?
