Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1627 – March 11, 2022, 04:36:12 pm "Gulf Shores, Alabama..." Down memory lane! Oh how I remember that place, spent a few hours there while stationed at Keesler AFB, MS. long ago!Pulled in there one night realizing we had forgotten our silver ware and had to resort to plastic from a local store. We were driving a 1961 Plymouth Valiant. 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1628 – March 11, 2022, 09:37:00 pm My father was an instructor at Kessler for communications (Tech Control school, I think but not sure. He was also well accomplished in some other fields) 61-63. He was known for throwing erasers full of chalk if someone wasn’t paying attention. At a party one of the other instructors asked why he didn’t write the Airmen up. He replied that this was better because there was no record and woke up the class at the same time. 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1629 – March 11, 2022, 11:00:18 pm "My father was an instructor at Keesler AFB..." I apologize for hi-jacking this thread!Hey John, looks like your Dad and I have something in common. I arrived at Keesler in the summer of '61, went through Basic Electronics and 'Sets Training' (specific equipment) for Radio Relay (Microwave). Near graduation I was recruited as an Instructor, going back over the same basic material I had just learned. In '63 there was a short interlude on Guam and then I wound up back at Keesler for a second tour in '66 thru '69, during which I became Master Instructor. I can't say for certain but I may have known your Old Man. Both of my kids were born in the Base Hospital, LazyBones2 and my son Mark, on separate tours.Small world, no? 3 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1630 – March 12, 2022, 10:07:24 am Yes it is a small world. I think he taught at Thompson Hall. We were there during the Cuban Missile Crisis. As an older kid I was responsible to get the other kids to one of the Halls during an alert. Ideally we would go with a parent (mother) but the time line was such that u heard the alert and you grabbed everyone and went. In true Cold War and USAF fashion we did a practice and even had a mom that was “shopping”. All the kids walked to the shelter so we would know the way. So Thompson hall may have been our assigned shelter, rally point. Sorry for the off topic. 4 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1632 – March 15, 2022, 11:09:09 am John,Photos from all venues are perfectly acceptable. Thanks. My neighbor had a bottle brush tree off the corner my yard some time ago. It’s no longer there and I’m sad. Here are pics I captured before the tree was removed. I’ve posted these before but I just couldn’t resist doing it again after seeing your Hummingbird shot. Kent 11 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1636 – April 10, 2022, 08:23:44 am Art, that is a nice healthy looking young gator. About 15 years ago I was kayaking on Nick's Lake adjacent to (and part of) our property in my 17' sea kayak. While cruising along a mud bank I startled a gator resting there and it quickly hit the water going away from me (thank goodness) and it was almost as long as the kayak! The head was at least 16" wide. That was the last time I kayaked there.About 5 years ago the cowboy that ran cows on the property on the opposite side of the lake (about 600' from our shore) had just bought a new 2000-lb. bull to romance his cows. One day the cowboy was there watching the bull getting a drink of water at the lake's edge when a very large gator shot out of the water grabbing the bull by the head and took it down drowning it in the water. The cowboy didn't have a gun at the time and left to get one. When he returned later the bull caucus was across the lake and was being dined on by several gators. Fortunately, the electric fence (7000+ volts, low amperage, see pix) we have around our property easily discourages wild animals from entering and our cows from departing our place. One touch to the fence the animals learn not to do that again with one exception, me. I haven't learned yet. I have never seen a gator inside our 3-miles of fence lines. Even so, I still carry a very large calibre pistol when working in our woods . 4 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1639 – June 30, 2022, 03:58:33 pm Thanks Kent for your rainbow picture. I remember that quick rain squall at Morro Bay. I wasn't at my rig and was camera less, but a great rainbow, and quick thinking to get that composition right. I'm not sure which year you took that. The clouds were really colorful also. Our picture of the month from Flyfish, was also taken at Morro Bay during our annual meeting, but may have been a different year. RonB
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1640 – June 30, 2022, 04:21:05 pm Ron,The photo I posted was taken at the MBGT on March 9, 2019. Pretty spectacular rainbow. Others that day have posted pics of the light show. Here’s another shot I took of a LDOF member’s rig tucked behind the trees. Kent 2 Likes
