I can almost hear the chortling.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Now what am I going to do? I thought I had an answer...

It's like time. Ask someone what time it is and you will know what time it is. But ask two people what time it is, and you won't know what time it is.

Pronunciation confusion is hardly surprising:
bough
cough
hiccough
tough
though
through
thorough
thought

Excellent shot, Archi. The greens and purple colors are really pretty.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Appreciated.

This is a stunning shot of the VFC. Very impressed with the detail since the red oft times runs together and is brassy looking. Very nice!

Thank you very much, Bill! This is a difficult bird to get feather details from if shooting in full sun. So I waited for a cloudy morning to shoot this bird again. Had to use higher ISO, but feather details show up better.

Oh man, that's way out of it's range. I wonder how it ended up in a San Jose park?

Once every few years, one shows up in the bay area, maybe got lost during migration. Couple of years ago, I went to Morgan Hill to see this bird.

Sorry I have missed a few here, I have been playing with a 90D a bit and posting results in that thread. Here is one I really liked from yesterday with the 1dxII and the 400mm + 2x

This is stunning, Rob! I would print this and hang it on my wall if I were you.
