I've got all my grandparents old photos. I've digitized some and cleaned them up, but yeh, who are those people we never met.
Hate tossing photos..... So put those in a separate pile, a separate box and pass em on.
They're still fun to look at.
Old picture
That makes me hungry!
Only two more monthsThat makes me hungry!
From my morning walk...Banded Garden Spider. This bubba is about 2.5" long! Biggest dang spider I've ever seen...

This brown garden snail was feasting on this leaf and let me take his photo...
Female Monarch...

Male Monarch...
Male Monarch... (You can tell them apart because of the two small oval shaped spots on the lower wings. Those are the male reproductive scales. The female doesn't have those. They're a little hard to see from the underside, but you can see them if you look close.) This fella has some wing damage from a bird bite, but he was flying around just fine.
A picture I took long ago.
Damn site cut off the top of it.
Sunset (test photo)
I can't remember the last time I saw a sunset with that much color. I need to get my butt out to the beach one of these days soon. I'm only 7 miles away from it.... Even from downtown I haven't seen hardly any color looking west at that time of day.
I was going to ask how you knew. I figured you had used a macro lens.
Are you able to get these photos from the trail or do you have to wander off into the wild and unknown territories?
The places I used to go never had such an abundance of birds or butterflies. I was 20 to 40 miles inland and up in the hills.

Where I walk (mostly) is all protected, so you can't really get too far off the path. But, I'm a volunteer there and I just got named as a Trail Steward, so I can get a little bit further out than the general public. However, all of these are from the trail. Most of the butterflies I get, I'm 10-20 feet away. So, I'm shooting them with my Nikon D810 and Nikkor 200-500mm lens at 500mm. It's kind of like doing macro photography from a distance.
The snail and the spider I took with D7500 and Nikkor 105mm macro lens. That's my general setup. I have a cotton carrier harness that hold two cameras. My D810 w/ the big lens and my D7500 with a macro lens. I will sometimes switch around a bit and carry my lighter setup - My OM-1 with my 100-400 & 1.4x extender and my Lumix G95 with a 45mm or 60mm macro.
I actually won a "Spotlight Award" for the snail photo on one of the photography websites today. (Viewbug.com)
This one's from last winter. Was just getting ready to snow that night. Caught it while I was finishing my evening walk. Looked like the sky was on fire with the sunset reflecting off the clouds.

You one busy and all around knowledgeable man. It doesn't surprise me that you're not just a volunteer there, but have moved up in rank.
The focus on the snail is spot on. I think I have one snail photo in my collection. Similar with a yellow leaf but not nearly the detail.
......no slugs that I can recall.
..but I'm losing my recall, so maybe.
