Thanks Graig, She is an accurate shot. Will shoot the opening shot of the egg shoot this weekend. Down range Is a stump at 75 yards. On the stump will be a sand rock about the size of a deers head with a pretty nice set of deer antlers attached to it. The gathering will be invited to observe Annie Oakley make a head shot on a nice buck. She will then shatter the sand rock with my.243 which will cause the antlers to tumble to the ground. She has no problem whatsoever hitting the rock. Sort of like throwing out the first pitch. We expect to have a lot of fun. And Thank you for the help. Ben

Ben
Those are lovely pictures with beautiful clarity. Those wildlife shots could easily equal those seen in National Geographic Magazine. But what impresses me and is inspirational is that there is no age boundary for experiencing a quality of life with some form of activity. There appears to be no sitting back waiting because you reach out and embrace life with what it has to offer even with physical limitations. One hears the phrase “live life to it’s fullest” and often is interpreted to apply to the present moment where no limitations in one’s life has yet appeared. Well that definitional boundary just got broke and expanded for me.
Craig you are a teacher indeed.
Ed

I love the rabbit pic as well. We can bow it up to life size and print off a few copies (with editors permission of course) as rim-fire targets. That big ol black eye sure looks inviting. Great pics Ben! All of them are. I love the family pic. Are you adjusting windage on the scope?

I was 40 feet up a pine tree in a climber about 4 years ago when about elebben gazillion million, or maybe twelve, Eastern Bluebirds came by at about my eye level. They would make it about 100 yards each, find a new limb, perch for one breath, and take off again. But they came in waves, and waves, and waves.
I have no idea if I saw any deer that day. I am not sure I remember looking. When I got down I thought "Hey, I forgot to look for deer!!!"........

First, I left my camera on our banister overnight and naturally it rained. This caused the camera to fog up and many of the functions didn't work. I called Panasonic and told them what had happened and they said send it in for evaluation to Elk Grove Village in Illinois. I did expecting to pay at least half the cost of a new one for repairs. Today it was returned, repaired and there was no charge since it was still under warranty. I told the truth and the damage was clearly my fault but they made a happy camper of this old man. Ozark.

Above the dogwoods are showing color. In a week or so there should be a lot of fall colors here in the hill. Ben

I have no clue to the name of the above. It grows on a vine (often in clusters). The berries are contained in a pod until fall and then the wine colored pod opens and exposes the berries. Seen them all my life but never heard a name. Never tried eating the berries and I don't recall birds eating them either. Any know the name? Update: My son looked it up on his computer. It is called the strawberry bush or Hearts a Bursting. Posion to humans but deer love it (Sometimes called deer candy) and certain birds eats it without harm. Interestingly it can cause heart failure so I have decided to look at it but nothing more. LOL> Ozark

Any know the name Ben, according to the survival training in old US Air Farce, blue or black berries are almost always safe. White almost always poisonous. Red are "very iffy" and should be considered with caution. Orange berries like these are quite suspicious and probably not edible.

I appreciate the kind comments. My camera does a creditable job if I get my part right. I would like to have some of the cameras my Son uses professionally. One great thing about digital is that you can put them on the computer and improve the picture most of the time. I love it when I get one that doesn't need any improving. In a way it is like shooting. You find a target and then try to get things right and snap the shot. Soon I should be able to get the fall colors at their peak. Ozark.

UPDATE on photo, Thanks to the computer my son looked up the name and identification of the plant. It can be googled as the Strawberry bush. Leaves, berries and the rest of the plant is posion to humans but deer and certain birds love it. "Hearts a Bursting" is another name plus the scientific name. It is a shrub bush rather than a vine and I went back and looked it over carefully. Is the computer amazing or what??? Ozark
