Bear's trip
« on: September 02, 2015, 16:58:27 »
Driving around with the old boy who is shouting at me for not using a lens hood  ;D ;D ;D
(only because I fell down and damaged my 24-70 ever so slightly - but hey - it can be replaced)
(says he who smashed a DF himself... haha)

Hope you and your nasty sense of humor are intact (there seems to be of no concern for the latter, though  :P).

Is it the Bear's trip or the Bear's trap?

I am still in one piece - tomorrow morning we leave on a 5 day trip to visit the West Coast flowers - so we will be 3 together - how will I survive with 2 men.....

The Bear is doing okey - well he is still alive. So far.

Fish and feet is a killer shot, so nicely framed and great fun!

I'll like to hear what the 2 men say after the trip :)

I doubt you'll have a problem at all

Thank you everyone for looking and commenting.
It is always great to drive around with someone else taking photos rather than on my own.

Nice pics of the fish ;)   Is that what you call 'Snoek'.?   We have in dutch also a name for a fish called 'Snoek' but I think that is a different fish.

I hope you're all having a great time. I agree with Fanie, that last shot is great.
