Well, finally. A 60 degree day. And sunny - woo-hoo!!
The wife and I have been walking down by the river with Jordan. It was a slow stroll as I paused to take pics, another 192 to be precise. Don't worry, I'll be picky. While the breeze is still a bit cool, the sun felt real good. I have one shot I like of a squirrel treed by Jordan. I've never been scolded as much as this one did. Goodness, sounded like my 8th grade teacher - just squeakier. One Goose successfully defended his/her mate and nest from us. Jordan also pointed out a woodchuck/marmot looking creature.
The tiniest of flowers are popping up. The bulb ones are poking up their shoots, hopefully the flowers will follow soon. The grass is greener next door (really it is. Our front lawn will be an pretty tan color long after everyone else's has turned green).
Oh, yes and I enjoyed sitting out on our porch for the first time since October. Spring is springing, indeed.

Now in Cameroon
Well, we've made the big move. The wife and I are now living in Buea Cameroon. We arrived late on December 2. We are still adjusting. The Pentax K20D has come too, along with the 18-250 zoom lens. We have 256/64 kbps internet so don't look for a lot of submissions! Oh wait, I've been not doing to many anyhow. Well, okay, at least now I have an excuse.
Best to all and happy holidays to each and every one.
Pentax woes
Don't get me wrong, I love my Pentax K20D!! BUT I, while shooting the other day I noticed a vertical line (in landscape orientation). I have posted examples in my scrapbook. I've sent it in to Pentax Service and await word.
I also purchased DA* 50-135mm. I will say I am very happy with the lens, though it is much bigger than I expected. Still this is currently my only weather sealed lens.
On the personal side of things, the wife and I continue our plan to move to Cameroon. We don't yet have a firm date, but are looking at the week of Nov 29.
New Lens
Yes, finally! I ordered my second lens: Pentax FA 50mm 1.4. The price was right. Here is the first image:

Cameroon
The wife and I are in Cameroon. After a wonderful day in Paris we arrived in Douala Cameroon and are now in Buea.
Today we went to Limbe,on the coast: botanical gardens, black sand beaches, etc. We'll be in Buea a few more days before heading further south.
Look for images first week of May.
