Nikkor 18-200mm G VRII Lens for Nikon cameras

I haven’t used this lens in over a year. In fact, I no longer have a DX camera or this lens, but I used it quite a bit when I was learning how to shoot with my first DSLR camera.

This was one of my first test shots with my Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens, a lens that I still use regularly.

Brown Bear @ Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon

Today’s photo is from the archives. I took this picture almost a year ago through my rolled-down window in the car on our way back from the coast when we drove through the safari in Winston where I-5 meets the highway to the beach.

I’m going to miss the Festival of Light tonight in Ashland as we are in San Francisco this weekend. Entertainment in downtown Ashland begins at 1 p.m. today. Santa’s Parade begins at the library at 5 p.m. Santa is going to turn on the lights from the balcony at Alex’s between 5:45 and 6 p.m. I’ll show you a photo from last year of that part of the festivities tomorrow.

Today’s photo is also from last year’s Festival of Light Parade.

It has been a full year since David Grubbs was murdered on Ashland’s bike path as he walked home from work at Shop’n Kart. I remember the evening of November 19, 2011 and the subsequent days well. The police haven’t arrested anyone yet, but they did do some searches this past week in conjunction with this ongoing case.
