It’s been 10 days since I posted anything; a record for this blog. It started with the flu, then a death in the family and the aftermath thereof. On top of all that, the few times I managed to get out there just wasn’t much to see.

Then, a few days ago, my big Sigma lens had a problem and I had to send it out for repairs.

I’m just going to post what I have without too much comment.
