  As I sit and reflect back on 2017, I have such fond memories of all the places visited and friends and family that accompanied me on these adventures.  While the scenery was lovely, it was ever more special having like minded folks to journey with. And for those that weren’t photography buffs—thanks for putting up with me!  The photos compiled in this short slide are just a sampling and more can be seen on my web.  I relied on the Nikon 800, 810 and Nikon D500.  Without a doubt my favorite two lens were the 24-70 and the 80-400.  The 28-300 came in handy as a general go to but lacked the sharpness of the more prestigious lens. I also picked up an infra red conversion D3200.  Definitely a different perspective and when used in the right circumstances can produce some very interesting images.  Pleased to say in the juried shows I entered took some nice 1st places as well as honorable mentions.   Then never in a million years did I think I would be a ‘’birder’’, but the thrill of capturing our feathered friends in action is fast becoming another love.  It also gets me out with long time friend and neighbor talking, walking and stalking:)  So bring it on 2018!  Looking forward to more adventures.
