I also have the Canon 1.4x extender which gets me a bit more reach (448mm full frame equivalent field of view). My 70-200 has image stabilization too, so with a little care, I can get decent shots in less than ideal lighting as long as the subject isn't moving too fast. This trip we mostly had blue skies, but the previous 2 years it was overcast and raining, so the IS was essential for hand held shooting.
My fall-blooming azaleas have started blooming already! View attachment 31239
ARGGH! these photo's will drive me nuts!
Hope some of you can see them properly.
The last picture is this vine which loves to climb up the umbrella. Does it every year but this year out did itself. I will cut them off, of course but right now my back has me inching around with a cane.
I also can't let this vine get up on the roof to rip out the heat wires and create a dam for the winter snow and ice. sigh... ignorance and lack of forethought or research does not forgive.
Fixed 'em for ya. What a beautiful home and yard you have, dragn!
