What's next?
Oh, and here is a synopsis of my day after. Got up and took down decorations in the front yard. Several times my local mockingbird landed near me and I just watched him. While working in the side yard there were several butterflies active and I did nothing but watch them. I ran out for a short 1.5 hour ride and packed a camera, but never stopped. The neighbor kids are lighting fireworks and I only watched. I just saw a cool view of the moon and a planet near it...and I'm very tempted to grab the tripod and go outside, but probably won't. The thought to go shoot a picture is still there, but the urge isn't.
It will come back.

Ditto... He is REALLY making me want to get a macro lens...
Sigma 105mm macro lens. Rates as almost as sharp as Canon's L 100mm macro and $300 cheaper. Here's the Nikon mount version:

Okay, a story with this picture. Has everybody seen Christmas Story? Remember Ralphie's obsession with the lamp? His comment about the "gleam of electric sex in the window"? Well, my folks have been going through old boxes and offered me some old records. Her description made me think some of my old country and western albums that had gone missing were in there. So, against my wife's wishes, I brought home a book box of records. Turns out that it had some of my sister's, some of mine and all of my folks. I found the Christmas albums of my youth like Harry Belafonte, Perry Como and of course, Bing Crosby. Jackpot. Amongst them I found my version of Ralphie's lamp. As a kid, when I discovered this album in Dad's collection I realized it was better than finding a National Geographic lying around. I'm sure some of the guys my age already know what album cover I'm talking about. So, here is the collection. Notice it is still in the garage...wife won't let me bring it in yet.
One year ago today, Rusty posted this for his Project366 effort. This album cover has made it to my "2018 Shot List". Let's hope I can do it (Whipped Cream, not Bing) justice at some point this year.
FYI, I seem to remember reading that they used shaving cream because it lasted longer.
