How does the Stellar Phono sound to you since you have had it for several weeks. Better (or maybe different) than all of the other ones you have? I have read several good reviews.
Love that piano in the middle.Post edited by BlueBirdMusic on"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.

First day of summer tomorrow.
Here is picture of Gulf Shores/Orange Beach on Alabama Coast that was in email vacation invitation yesterday. All of the beaches along the Florida Panhandle and Alabama Gulf Coast are wonderful. White sand and crystal clear water.
Ready to go!!

Last night's lightning bugs (fireflies) were spectacular. Unfortunately, my feeble attempts to photograph the show fell far short. I'll still share a piccie or two, 'cause, well...

Today, Friday 6/19/20
Some Cooper's Hawk babies rescued from a brood so they can be raised to hunt after being raised by Falconers. They'll be released when they're old enough.
It was a cool afternoon!
The one on the left was a BIG female chick. She was put back up. She was aggressive too. She would've killed one, two or all 3 of her siblings pretty soon they told us.
After the show...
The 3 on the left are Falconers. The guy with the rope doesn't do Falconry anymore but does help when he can by climbing up to their nests to retrieve chicks so they'll live to breed in the wild later on. They traveled quite far to come here today. They LOVE what they do for sure!
The 3 on the right are some of my neighbors from across the street.
It sure was exciting for all who were there! Even the tree climber got excited when he saw there were 5 instead of 4 chicks + an egg in the nest.Post edited by Tony M onMost people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Definitely not for me!!!
I'd rather starve.

What happens to that guy when a sudden burst of wind comes? Is that when the life insurance kicks in?

It was real pretty last night -- and my new DSLR does pretty good with low light (thanks, son o' mine, for the gift!)

Very cool shot. I wish we had darker sky here.
Did you do a slight time exposure for that! -

I suppose it depends upon one's definition of slight.
30 seconds at f/5 @ ISO 10000
also from last night...

A night sky like this has to be one of the top five reasons to live out of the city.

In 2020, an even better reason is "sheltering in place" is a lot less claustrophobic.

I don't know much about photography. I would have thought 30 seconds would have made a slight streak on the stars. Guess it's not enough time. Very cool!
Edit: actually I see the streak now that I zoom in on the photo. Still looks amazing. -

What volcano is that in the distance???
