Sometimes light fog can add to a photograph. That's a good thing because many days we have early morning fog along the S. California coast.

Autumn Firethorn - Pyracantha bush.
Walking in one of the local lanes this week I came across this orange Pyracantha bush in full autumn splendour.
Sometimes rather splendidly called the Autumn Firethorn, the bush sports huge spines, and can be vicious to prune (not one to grow over your driveway either!). I always remember it being recommended on the radio as being the ideal plant to keep elephants out of your (British) garden...
Thanks for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :)
[Handheld in daylight. Processed in LR: Contrast, Vibrance and Clarity all pushed. In Affinity Photo: denoise, sharpening and slight dark vignette. Noise is a perennial problem with Little Ickle camera... (Yep, I’m afraid the pun was intentional because if you've read this far you surely deserve to smile :)]

Yaesu VX-6R (2-meter, 1.25-meter, 70-cm bands [144/220/440 MHz})
TYT TH-UVF9 (2-meter/1.25-meter)
Baofeng UV-5R (2-meter/70-cm)
I was awarded my Technician Class amateur radio licence on December 18, 2015. I have had a fascination with radios, including ham, since I was a teenager in the 1980s. I have owned a number of scanners over the years; the impetus to finally take the leap and get my ham license (at the age of 47) was my successful bid on the Baofeng at right. I paid less than $35 for it on eBay.
Is it not amazing how, after you get involved in a hobby and learn more about it, you suddenly "need" additional items? I decided I wanted to operate on the 1.25-meter band, so I bought the TH-UVF9. Quality-wise, it is a step up from the UV-5R; I paid roughly twice as much for it.
Soon, I came to the conclusion that it would be much more convenient to carry a single radio with all three bands than to juggle the two dual-banders... I got the Yaesu secondhand on eBay for roughly half the normal going rate. It works great and is quickly becoming my favorite.
The UV-5R is shown with the optional 3800 mAh high-capacity battery and an authentic Nagoya NA-701 VHF/UHF antenna tuned for the 144 and 440 MHz bands.
The TH-UVF9 is equipped with a Nagoya NA-702 tuned for 144 and 220 MHz.
The VX-6R has a Diamond SRH320A tri-band antenna.

45 second exposure resting on a windowsill which is why it's not sharp. I don't care I like it anyways.
This tiny Damselfly landed and posed on the shade side of this backlighted leaf. Its pose was wonderful, and it stayed there for some time. Unfortunately, it seemed to like the deep shade very much; the camera not so much. When I finally 'prompted' it to move, it did...but left the area completely.
(the shooting information tells the exposure story.)
