Gorgeous shots Lori! Beautiful lens and background! Thanks for the "fix"!

Makapuu has the only Hyperradial frensel lens in the USA. A 'size above First Order'.

Lighthouse Friends has a nice writeup wi...ize comparison.

If you aren't seeing the photos in this thread, note that it now has two parts. At the top of this portion is a link to the first portion.

Here's a photo from a few years back of Cedar Island, NY. John and I took Ken and Bryan four-wheeling down the beach to get up close and personal to this lighthouse.

Thought I would share a couple of photos of the ducks that come to feed under my bird feeder.
Every spring, a pair of ducks return to feed. This has been going on for 12 years. I'm not sure how long ducks live...so I don't really know if these are the originals.



The drake usually stands guard, while the hen feeds. He is extremely attentive to her.

They have come up to within a foot from me...but will not accept food from my hand.
