...with Bob and Mao (the Bad)

After skipping out of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair we found ourselves lacking many photographic opportunities. It was a dull grey day so landscapes weren't very interesting.

I was desperate, so you get what follows:

This is Mao watching Bob try to mount a lens on his camera...

This is Mao studying Bob's technique...

Here we have Bob shooting back...

This is where Bob tells me that if I take one more picture of him, he will kill me...

Bob playing 'sniper' as he photographs all the women walking by...

If you read or hear any reports of my body being found anywhere, Bob caught up with me. rolleyes;

LOL... I tried that, Ann. He doesn't see his sniping as a problem. He sees it as a pastime. LOL;

Yeah, we always have a fun time. Life is too short not to.

Harv, do remember I used the word "Moribund" on another forum and you didn't know what it meant. Well it means imminent death, and given I am 37.5 minutes door to door that is approximately how much time you have. Actually we had a great, fun day made even better by the company of friends.

Well, I sure wish I could come up there and play too. It sounds like you guys always have a blast. I'm with Harv about life's too short not to laugh.

Great editorial, Harv!! Bobby, you look very distinguished. And I love your "beanie" Mao!! Must be cold up there.

Well Bob and Mao. Instead of killing Harv perhaps you should post some pictures of him for a change. That might teach him dunno;
No really. I enjoy seeing you having fun and it's nice to see the faces behind the pictures and comments.

I know Harv's lens is really sharp. Look at my watch, its 2minutes past 1:00PM.

Kevin, I have often told you... come on up. Bring a wool hat, mittens, boots and snowwhoes. Oh yeah, and a bottle of good whiskey.

Jytte........ shhhhhhhhh. Don't give him any ideas.

Has anyone told Bobby that the vertical grip has a shutter release button? (see photo #5--I just noticed) :)

Yeah, I saw that, too! :)

Kevin, old habits die hard, I just find this natural to use and can't bring myself to use the vertical shutter release. I guess this is one trick you can't teach an old dog.
