TRex,
Sounds like a great day. That second picture is awesome.
-
TRex,
Why does that second pic remind of "Raiders of The Lost Ark"?
I keep seeing a little TRex with a staff getting ready to poke a big ribeye.
Sweet.[p]Mike

Thanks,
Clay

wrobs,[p]Wasn't it a beautiful day down in the area? Where in Evans are you?[p]TRex
-
mad max beyond eggdome,[p]You're right, it doesn't get much better than a good day with the Egg and the old man. [p]Can't wait till Woosday . . . .
-
Wardster,[p]Yes sir. My dad's and my favorite cigar. Very smooth.[p]Cheers,[p]TRex
-
dhuffjr,[p]Yeah, that was my favorite too![p]Cheers,[p]TRex
-
Car Wash Mike,[p]Yeah it was kind of like those moments in (insert your favorite archeological adventure here) where they get all of the mirrors and special gym stones set just right and then at just the right time a beam of sunlight comes through and bounces off the lenses and then opens a secret cavern or something.[p]Of course that didn't happen in my case. I think maybe I needed like an aluminum drip pan or something in the Egg to bounce the beam back or something.[p]Hee![p]TRex
-
Thanks Clay. That one is my favorite too - it was one of those moments when you see something and you're like, "THAT I've got to get a picture of."[p]Cheers,[p]TRex
-
TRex,
Great pictures Jason...Time to start doing some Christmas decorating here.It's going to be a cool day here with the high of 56°...Time to go further south.

TRex,[p]Nice Shots! The sunlight through the egg is my favorite, too.... pretty dang cool.
What kind of lens were you using to get the shot of the moon?[p]john
-
Don't fly away on us, Larry. This cool spell makes for some good Eggin' weather, don't ya think?[p]Didn't see you in Publix or Harvards this trip - was beginning to wonder if you were out of town or something - lol.[p]Cheers,[p]Jason

Woo,[p]I'm still using my old Fuji Finepix S5100 - not an SLR but it comes with a on-board 10X zoom (which I used for the moon shot, on shutter priority mode) and also has a great macro mode - I've been pretty pleased with the overall quality and capabilities - only real problem I have with it now is that 1) it's only 4 mpix, and I'd like to start getting some larger prints made, and 2) I think I'm ready to start investing in some good glass.[p]So, sometime hopefully in the next few months I'm planning on getting my first SLR - believe it or not I've been researching and shopping around for several months now, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I think the fact that I'm about to resign from my job and don't have a new one lined up yet is making me hesitate to drop the cash . . . so for now I'll be content with the Fuji.[p]Happy Sunday,[p]Jason

Revolution,[p]Thanks! Yes, it is the simple things in life that provide for the best moments - eating well is certainly one of those![p]Cheers,[p]TRex

TRex, I'm off North Bel Air Road in Northwood.
Are you from this area originally? I've been here 20 years(whew, thats a long time)and really enjoy the area and the overall weather, although, the summer humidity can cause one to think about moving. LOL

My brother was in town for my Mothers 80th birthday and we stayed at her house most of the weekend.
