    My new friend, Beaker! A baby Parrotlet, won't get much bigger but has energy and an attitude of a much bigger bird! Loves attention and has bonded with me as his friend. Can learn limited words as well. Most times he's on my shoulder at home as he loves excursions out of his cage.

    Helps a lot. Without it, the amps look like a car coming at you in the dark, and makes for a very unpleasant experience.

    DSC_4530s.jpg

    Our back porch (my son's photo, taken a couple of weeks ago).
    Sittin' out there now with VPR on the radio, a cuppa coffee -- and a laptop.
    Not a bad way to start the day.

    EDIT: Just realized that the photo above was taken with the odd - and uncommon - 105 mm f/4 Nikkor-T preset lens recently acquired by my son. This lens, known in the vernacular as the "Mountain Nikkor", is a small, simple triplet (thus the... interesting... flare and other optical 'effects').

    LOL.....thanks for that reminder Daddy. It's been posted before and I use that when talking music to some of my younger nieces and nephews.

    Here's a little trick I play on them sometimes. I ask them if they heard this new song by xyz, any of the popular no talent, over hyped artists, then I play something old school from the likes of Queen, Diana Ross, Bob Segar. Their jaws hit the floor and proclaim "I want that, is it on ITUNES ? "

    Then I break the news to them.....and I get a big "OOH" followed by disappointment. The youngsters are more into the looks and marketing aspects rather than the musical talents.
