I usually shoot in Vivid, but somehow the camera was set to Natural. Nice low contrast results, so I ran with it.

1. Nice, Alfredo!

These 'new' raisins?'

[alfredo]

3. Much better than the ones from the rabbit hutch.

5. I guess so!!!

Will try to catch pics of ours this year, but won't be for MONTHS.

7. Not sure what kind of tree that is. I hope I will feel like taking photos the next few months.

8. I'm sure you will.

Seems to be such a big part of you.

9. My camera turns aimless wandering into aimless wandering with a camera.

No officer, I am not loitering. I am waiting for that decisive moment. That line wouldn't work without a camera.

[elleng]

11. Right!

Keep 'not loitering,' sir!

[alfredo]

12. I'll do my best.

13. I've been calling them that for decades

When you fly the airways, your route takes you over a series of these sites. Before the days of autopilots coupled to GPS receivers, it was a small challenge to fly directly over the VOR. Long cross country trips in a relatively slow airplane gets a little boring at times, so actually spotting the VOR down below you is a little game that's fun to play. I like to say, "tally-ho on the taco stand!"

I like the softness.

10. Thanks. The muted colors make it.

Fade is one of the presets in my editor. It's perfect for these dreary winter days.
