Planted glads in my pots this summer, we shall see how that goes. Dave is the skeeter magnet, I'd love to go on a house boat would just have to leave Dave home, with his motion sickness he'd never make it overnight.Faye N Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630343244281603759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-74817176657459655612014-07-22T07:45:38.635-07:002014-07-22T07:45:38.635-07:00Richard, for everyday pictures we use a Sony RX-10...Richard, for everyday pictures we use a Sony RX-100 (first version, they are up to their 3rd version which is probably even better). It can fit in a shirt pocket yet takes pretty good pictures. Complaints are a small zoom range, and a tendency to autofocus badly in low light. <br /><br />When there's an opportunity for big scenic pix, Craig takes his Nikon D3. It's a bit large to haul along for snapshots. A new Tamron 28-300 mm zoom makes it ready for almost any kind of shot, though you pay for the zoom range in relatively small aperture. The Tamron outperformed the 28-300 Nikon in a camera-store test.<br /><br />Also, we run every shot from either camera through Photoshop's Camera Raw front-end. It has enough capability that all we typically do in Photoshop itself is convert the images to JPEG. Standard processing is to darken highlights and lighten shadows, then adjust exposure for each image.Merikay MacKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090072368063727932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-80382596160916406992014-07-21T18:14:17.124-07:002014-07-21T18:14:17.124-07:00Merikay I just found your blog and wanted to tell ...Merikay I just found your blog and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading about your travels.

We had a good time. To my knowledge they do not rent them on the MO or the Mississippi Rivers. They do rent them on Lake Cumberland in KY too. The problem with the going down the big rivers, someone might have to have certification from the Coast Guard. We did not on Lake Barkley, but beware the barge traffic, you get out of their way not vice versus. Please be careful on the road.<br /><br />RexRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280722332213058004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-40782590937302910302014-07-19T13:37:47.492-07:002014-07-19T13:37:47.492-07:00We are just enamored of eagles.

We love watching him as he flies to a tree, then sits there gazing out on the lake all day.owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-50505277551970000492014-07-19T07:22:20.799-07:002014-07-19T07:22:20.799-07:00Enjoyed the pictures - especially the lilies.
