Trying to capture Eli's hair in with a really fast shutter speed.
Our last day at the Hideaway. It was sad to leave as it had been nice to have almost a week at this over our league beachside resort. Although we were a bit unlucky with the weather we had a great time.

I ran across this active wasp at Sandy Creek Park, Durham, NC (USA) on 25 August 2020. It was hunting rapidly across the floor of a woodland, and I initially mistook it for a female velvet ant--then it flew. It seems to be rather uncommon, but it may just be hard to notice, as it does not appear to visit flowers.
Psorthaspis mariae (Cresson) 1867 (female, ~14 mm)
Presumably a female. Seems that males are mostly unknown in this group!
Author of this species is American entomologist Ezra Townsend Cresson (1838-1926). I did a little print source and Internet research on him. The wasp was no doubt named "mariae" in honor of his wife (married 1859), Mary Ann Ridings Cresson (1837-1909).

A beautifully modded black and carbon fibre Audi R8 4.2 FSI V8. Was one of tons of sick cars today at Ferrari Marquee Day SuperCar Sunday. Not the greatest picture, but such a nice R8. This one has a carbon fibre spoiler, carbon fibre Dymag Rims, and tons of carbon fibre accents.

The Buddha is known to have practiced extreme forms of fasting which led to his emaciation and to have famously abandoned it before his great awakening. Nevertheless, different forms of fasting are practiced in a variety of Buddhist traditions. (Wikipedia)

Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8
Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8
Both are big, heavy, fast, auto focus, and auto exposure lenses.
Both produce excellent image quality; even wide open.
Both are well-built.
The Fuji has image stabilization; the Nikon does not.
I prefer the wider and longer zoom range of the Nikon.
Both came with big, plastic, petal, bayonet lens hoods which I did not like. I replaced them with smaller, metal, round, screw-in lens hoods.
Both come with rotating and removable tripod collars.
I added Arca-Swiss quick release plates to the tripod collars.
The Fuji is weather resistant; the Nikon is not.
They are about the same price.
The Fuji has a 72mm filter size; the Nikon takes a 77mm filter.
The Fuji has a Fuji-X mount; the Nikon has a Nikon F mount.
The Fuji is an APS-C lens; the Nikon is a "full-frame" lens that can handle APS-C and full-frame bodies.
