    Steve,

    Good capture.... What is the name of that rodent?

    Steve,

    The barn cat looks sweet. Is the cat sociable or afraid of people?

    Dig,

    The rodent is a baby groundhog.
    The cat is sociable, but only lets you approach within about five feet or so.

    Just a visit and a couple pictures from the files using the Canon S90

    until recently the S90 was demoted to my car camera but now seems to even have been replaced by the Stylus 1 … wish it had a tilting LCD ...

    I want to thank David for inviting me to share a few pictures …. when I moved to digital a while ago I started with the Canon A series and at sometime we added the SX30 … My first posts with DPR were with the Canon compact forum ….. When I went all the way to the DSLR, I went with Olympus and moved over to their forum where Digirame was also active with the 70-300mm lens, as I recall … I've enjoyed my visit but probably will continue to post with the decades old M4/3 thread/ now sub forum as we wait to see how things continue to develop on this and other sites … Drop by the Weekly 4/3 site and post a few pictures … exclusivity has long past so any camera is welcome and we've had a few Canon shooters in the not so distant past …..

    Weekly Roundup

    It has been overcast and raining all week where I live and this weather looks like continuing next week, so I have taken no new photos since Sunday. But others have been very active.

    Mocha showing us the beauties of Cornwall.

    We enjoyed a plethora of fascinating and spectacular airshow photos from Digirame. And that was not all: ducks and many lovely roses. I also presented photos of roses, though not as varied as Dig's, and Simplejoy showed his unique and highly successful and attractive approach to photographing flowers, insects, and man-eating pencils -- with an interesting selection of lenses.

    Steve had a tree come down. Luckily it avoided hitting his house; but it provided the opportunity for some interesting shots. Steve also showed us his yucca photos and one of a venerable pecan tree -- plus the cute groundhog and his feline neighbor.

    Dunlin visited a stately home and took some great photos from interesting vantage points.

    Benjilafouine reminded us of the tragic Canadian wildfires that have spread to the USA, and CarryLight presented a magnificent seascape that just had to be seen full size to appreciate, plus a mysterious mountain.

    And right at the end of the week we were joined by WhyNot who also has his own threads here -- about his local Botanical Gardens. Welcome!, and please stay with us!

    Living in different parts of the world provides us with a variety of opportunities -- which were well taken this week -- and the comments make this a great group to belong to.

    Next week's thread is now open. Please start using it. Have a great week!

    David
