Shrimp on the grill (Barbie), Roscoe.

I found some pre-butterflied shrimp at Winn-Dixie and put them on the grill with a little Old Bay seasoning. They were wonderful with rice and a salad.

Seed in web, Roscoe

This was caught just above my head in mid-garden. Very delicate, wispy seed suspended in a fine spiderweb in front of the newly open Confederate. Jasmine. The next day it was all crumpled by the wind.

Reed grass and dead palm, Roscoe extension.

I think that every photographer, and especially gear heads like me, have a place they go simply to test equipment. I come here to see how a new lens and/or camera do in separating detail. Reed grass grows all over itself and ranges from dark green to very light grey. It will reveal any loss of acuity in a lens. This was taken with my new Sony RX 100 III with a Zeiss lens. I was using a monopod on a grey day. At 100% on my big screen it held up wonderfully. amazing. It is a tiny camera that I can carry in a belt pouch, with a great lens.

Seed pods, Roscoe extension

They really are this color, but only for a few days, then they turn brown and become subjects for black and white photography.
