    Not really into bird watching but just had to share this stunner of a shot! Caught this pose of a Barred owl while walking some deep woods in North British Columbia. I used a flash and the red eye came well suited. I think he must have been eyeing my SM300. 2 ffffffff.jpg

    Aside from family, I'd have to say football, specifically the Jets:

    Next would be scotch. I'm a big fan of Glenmorangie:

    And more recently, I've taken up bike riding:

    That's a great photo! (flying owl)

    Not for the owl. :thumbsup:

    You were in the woods and you saw what?

    Mostly, it's these:

    P9280077.JPG

    P1020154.JPG

    A fair bit of this:

    and quite a lot of them:

    and sci-fi books & "space stuff" when I get the odd bit of extra time.

    MyVintageOmega, those old Kwakkers & Goldwings are great. They definitely don't make them like that any more, although that's probably a good thing as far as the brakes & tyres are concerned !

    My Bonnie is an 03, I've had it bored out & put race carbs on as well as a ton of other stuff that has got it from 55hp to about 78hp. Now it accelerates nearly as quickly as my litre bike :)

    So, it is from Bulgaria - that is what it says on the bottom. On the left it says the common name of the mushroom in Bulgarian, and its Latin name on the right.

    My sister speaks Russian, so she could read the text. As you already know, it dates to before the fall of Communism, as it actually says the People's Republic of Bulgaria. But neither she, nor I, know anything about stamps.
