Things well at the Florida Camera Council meeting. \u00a0Thanks so much for your prayers! \u00a0Both talks were well received and we had a lot of excited customers who wanted to talk about and ask questions about the D4 and D800. I met s lot of nice folks and got to visit with some great old friends. \u00a0Early this morning Wayne Bennett, Ken Blye, Robert Wicker, and I drive over to Marco Island before sunrise to photograph Burrowing Owls. \u00a0If you don’t know about these little fellows, they burrow into the ground to build a nest, thus their name, and they are really fun to watch. \u00a0They are very small a little bigger than soft drink can! \u00a0I’ve long insisted that the Nikon 70-300 AFS-VR f 4.5-5.6 zoom is a great lens, and again this morning it proved it’s value. \u00a0On my D7000 it is an equivilant 105-450 and was plenty long enough to shoot these little guys!<\/p>\n

After morning address I headed for Lakeland and meeting up with the team for Sun n’ Fun! \u00a0I will post a lot of images this week from Sun n’ Fun. \u00a0On the drive up the road I saw and photographed some neat stuff, the largest strawberry man in America!, some killer color on an old building and cool fence that says “Keep Closed”. \u00a0I will work hard all week to bring you some more images.<\/p>\n

This morning I shared images synchs set to music and one show I shared was the original “America From 500 Feet” show, it was a great reminder for me of just how much God has blessed my life, to get to do that project with Welsey and survive cancer to see all my kids grow up, and now give Sherelene and I, \u00a06 grandchildren!<\/p>\n

Be blessed,<\/p>\n
