that's a sheep pen. If there were any, I'm sure they've been nibbled.

Sun was rising...

Pretty! I like the sunbeam

Advantage of living in the woods. I get to enjoy this view every morning now. It's isolated, quiet, and very beautiful. It's a pity I don't know how to take a picture of the night sky. I have never seen so many stars in my life. It was absolutely gorgeous.

You need a camera with a top notch sensor to get good pics of the night sky.

I'm curious, what's the box for, your well? And the three pole standing all by themselves can't be a fence, might be sapling tree supports, or just stakes for the Hatfield's heads. :haha:

That box is the transformer. The well is on the side of the house. I'll take a picture of it another time. The three poles were old cloth lines. However, Bruce hope to use them for grape vines this spring. I guess that's where the garden will be. :)

Even a regular, modern sensor can capture nice night sky pics if the sky is dark and the exposure is long and the camera is steady.

The birds will enjoy that!

No, if you can keep grapes, that sounds wonderful!

If I were you, I would crush the grapes, press the juice out, put it in a big barrel, add some yeast, let it sit for a month, filter it into another barrel, let it sit for 6 months, and then put that in bottles and cork them. Just an idea.

The hawk pic was taken at full telephoto (24x), handheld:

I'm not very fond of my POS camera, but, it takes a pretty good panorama:

I like it. Good composition. That big negative space balances the triangle created by the low focal point and the tree. Well done.

Yes, very nice. Hope you got a model release from Ms Bovine. ;)

You prove that even with a camera you regard as a POS, you can take a good picture, or three.

Well, it would be nice to take the odd picture that didn't require image editing software, as nearly all of mine do.

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen.:)
