This guy is the keeper of the peacocks at the local botanical garden.

Some portraits of a friend of our family. I was really happy with how the 35mm 1.8 did and the Lumix colors.

An Anna’s Hummingbird on the Japanese maple outside my home office window this morning. These little birds are at our feeders year-round, and this one especially likes sitting on this particular branch. Snapped using my ancient Nikkor manual 70-210mm f4.5-5.6 lens at 210mm, f8, through double pane glass, window screen, and drizzly mist. Stay cozy. Cheers.

Saying Goodbye

I'd been seeing this building along Main Street for... well, decades, really, but not paying much attention beyond 'hey, old building, kinda like the style.'

And now it's about to die.

It's not too hard to see why. It was put on the city's "Dangerous Buildings" list back in August.

Zoom in and you can see the crumbling stonework, the cracks...

The broken windows, the roof that fell in.

But even so, there's a grandeur in the stonework that you don't see all that often in modern buildings.

I could have wished for better shooting weather, but at least the rain delayed the demolition long enough for me to stop by. And it's somehow fitting.
 
Great use of the fisheye! I do miss shooting ultrawide
The little TTArtisan 11mm is quite cheap and delivers pretty good IQ. Just go get one!!
