A stand of birch, a dazzling flash of colour captured with a slow shutter speed and sweeping motion of the camera, and a vibrant overlay from an out-of-focus shot.
One of my favorite shots from last year, a local waterfall at peak colors. Hoping for more of the same this year, but with new areas in mind.

I am looking forward for the trees to change colors. This is a shot taken last fall durning a trip to the canyon.

Sorry I lost the SURL. :(
Our rural ancestors, with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

On this particular day, we visited one of Iceland's popular waterfalls and it was super-crowded. We quickly moved on, hiking up above the waterfall to a high plateau with 360 degree views of mountains, glacial plains and the ocean in the distance - and no other people in sight. The sky was grey overcast so wide angle landscape photography was not in the cards but these pretty little plants called out to me. To anyone visiting the Skaftafell National Park area in Iceland, consider taking some time out to hike some of the park's less visited trails. There is some spectacular scenery just beyond the park's iconic spots.
Another shot at the Great Falls of Tinker Creek. Not much rain the prior week makes the "great" falls a little less great. Aways interesting to see what nature has in mind.

My camera bag strap broke while I was picking it up and it fell back down -- not a bad fall. So I was surprised, and obviously horrified, when I opened it to find that my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 had busted. The portion with the lens mount separated from the main body just before the zoom ring started. You can see the portion that snapped. I rushed home and found that a Nikon repair center was only about 5 miles away. So I drove over and showed it to the rather sympathetic gentleman. He said that these new lens are great but not built as solid. He then pulled out a tray with another customer’s lens that looked exactly the same as mine.
As to repair time and cost: 4-5 weeks and around $450. Why so long? The spare parts are few and far between right now due to it being a new lens type. Why so expensive when it was just that little connection that snapped? Well, the broken part is essentially the backbone for the whole lens. Therefore the entire lens will need to be taken appart and reassembled. Super.
Obviously I am going to get a new bag and obviously I am going to be more careful. The 24-70 was attached to my D700 at the time so there was probably some torquing that occurred. Also, just to note, I had an 80-200 f/2.8 AFD in same bag. No problems with it.
UPDATE: Fixed! Just picked it up today (11/8/08). Seems to be working quite nicely. Thanks Nikon Repair Guy! Feels like new and acts like new. Quite a nice job.
UPDATE: about 8 years later (3/2017) I have finally replaced this lens. I got the new VR model and excited to see how it performs. My old trusty 24-70mm is really beaten to hell at this point. Threading for the filters cracked off, the rubber grip is out of place, the hood long ago broke (while on a 2.5km sledding run in Switzerland). Obviously I loved that lens!
Fallasburg, Michigan
From the Michigan Historic Site Sign:
Fallasburg was settled in 1837 by two brothers from Tompkins County, New York. In 1839, John Wesley Fallas purchased the northwest quarter of section 24 and laid plans for a village. His brother, Silas S., also purchased land at that time. Other family members soon followed, making the long journey in covered wagons. John W. built a sawmill on the east bank of the Flat River in 1839. In it he established a chair factory that was the forerunner of the Kent County furniture industry. He soon added a grist mill.
Fallasburg was a prosperous lumber town, posting over one hundred inhabitants by 1850. At one time, it offered a hotel and an inn that served as a regular stop on the stagecoach route between Grand Rapids and Ionia. The town also had two general stores, two show and harness shops, a post office, a distillery and several blacksmith shops. This structure, the Fallasburg School, was built in 1867. The focal point of the town, it was the site of town meetings, box socials, funerals and church services.
