Weese weeds, December 17th, 2106, Jacksonville Beach

Unlike Connecticut, we don't get much of a respite from weeds. This is a very tough grass that grows on roadsides. The seedheads are wonderful.

Pretty to look at, until your golf ball goes in.

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.

This is the opposite of my theory of dig and plant, plan later.

Datura flower and leaves, garden, Roscoe

I don't know why, but I seem to be looking down a lot of late. The 45mm Olympus lens on the OM-D is the perfect size. This is probably the last of the Daturas for the year.

I took my first beach walk with camera in hand on Saturday. We have had guests and granddaughter school pick ups. The dunes have exploded with the summer growth of Sea Oats and grasses. The shadows were very strong and there were myriad patterns.
