    it was cloudy at sunset on Sunday -- so here's near sunset on the day after the Solstice. Kinda like horseshoes; close counts, right?

    What kind of camera do you have mhardy? I just bought a Nikon D70S from a co worker. There are so many menu options on this thing, any suggestions on where I can do some reading and learning on what does what and when to use what?

    Courtesy of my son, I have a D5000 body and also his old D40. Both entry-level DX format DSLRs. The D5000 is the better of the two but it's handy to have two lenses mounted and ready to go all the time. The D40 lives near the back windows with a 70 - 300 mm VR lens for grabbing shots o' critters when they amble through the back forty.
