PESO: Little Frog

A few weeks ago, we had a huge bullfrog in our swimming pool. I posted an image of that critter in a PESO here. More recently, we have had a group of small frogs visiting our pool. Over the past week, we have fished out 2 dead ones, 2 live ones, and one that I thought was dead but revived as I w

Re: PESO: Chrysalis

Thanks, Ann. It is indeed quite jewel-like. The chrysalis is bright jade green, and the row of spots along the top, as well as the spots near the bottom, are golden and shiny. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at

The mask I ordered from Ann's cafe press site came today. I am well pleased with it. It came with two PM2.5 charcoal filters & some little adjustment doohickeys for the ear loops in case they prove to be to generous for some heads. I strongly urge any of you who still needs to acquire a mask

I frequently use the K-1’s articulated screen. All magazine art directors want the long lens ground level front 3/4 shot of race cars, exotics and muscle cars. With the flip up screen I no longer have to get down on the ground, a maneuver that grows more difficult with every passing year. Paul

Interesting. We have a similar thing here where the Diadem female & one form of the Mocker Swallowtail female mimic the African Monarch. There are several Acraea species which mimic the African Monarch too but they are toxic anyway. Alan C On 27-Jul-20 04:01 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Than

Re: PESO: Chrysalis

Thanks for looking, Alan. In nature, of course, the majority do not survive, for many reasons. Monarch larvae feed only on milkweed, which is toxic to most critters. For that reason, Monarchs have fewer natural predators than other insects. (The Viceroy evolved to look very similar to the Monarch

I also own a Ref Con A , but it is of no value for shooting small flowers or mushrooms with the camera near the ground unless you lay down. Last time I used this angle viewer,  the plastic holder of the glass of the viewfinder of my MZ-S was damaged so since then  I never take off the rubber pro

I wouldn't mind mirrorless with its inherent light weight, but with all my Pentax lenses I'm hesitant to change brands. And it is so useful now to be able to switch lenses of FF and APS-C in the Pentax system without any converters. The K-1 is a perfect camera but not for carrying on long walks i
