Helios 44-M-6 58mm f/2, M42 mount. My copy gets somewhat stiff through a range of the focus travel, but otherwise it's very nice. Sharp as a tack, good portrait lens.
testing the nonmetering/manual lens out and got lucky to catch him for a split second- cheeto lips and all. I think it could use a bit of work in PS- but love it - If I print it - will take care of the speck of lint and the cheeto lips and backgound- LOL.

This waterfall of the spillway is only available after a heavy downpour -- a frequent occurrence during springtime in this area.
Neat beetle of some sort on the front porch. Dig those pincers!

Amager (Danish pronunciation: [ˈɑmɑːˀ], [ˈɑmæːˀ(j)ɐ], [ˈɑmɑːˀʀ]) is a Danish island in the Øresund. The Danish capital, Copenhagen, is partly situated on Amager, which is connected to Zealand by five bridges.
Amager has long been populated, and well used, thanks to its rich soil and proximity to Copenhagen. In 1521 Christian II invited some Dutch farmers to move to Amager and grow vegetables to supply the Danish Court and Copenhagen. It was only in the late 19th century that Copenhagen began to expand onto the island (Sundbyerne), and in 1902 these built-up areas were incorporated into Copenhagen.
During the Second World War, high unemployment in Copenhagen led authorities to drain a large part of the sea, west of the island, and build a dam to hold out the water, effectively adding one half of Amager's previous area to the island.
The reclaimed area is currently known as Kalvebod Fælled, and was originally a military area, but today it is part of a major construction area called the Ørestad, being thought of as an extension to central Copenhagen. The area houses such major facilities as Bella Center, a convention and exposition center, and Field's, the second-largest shopping center in Scandinavia. This project was initiated by the Danish government.
The beach area to the East of the island, known as Amager Strandpark (Amager Beach Park), which had fallen into disrepair since its inception in the 1930s, was extensively redeveloped between May 2004 and August 2005. A 2 km long artificial island was constructed just off the mainland which narrows to the southeast, creating a small lagoon.
During the 1970s Amager was used as a place to dump litter; this led to a slang term for the island 'Lorteøen' (The Shit Island).
