The trouble with this Hairy Woodpecker is that it gets on the very top of this telephone pole, which is still a little out of reach of my 200 mm lens to get a super clear shot.

Claws to the Shipper
Rosencrantz’ extended claws express how I feel right now about the shipping company that destroyed my pass through portal enclosure walk through cylindrical revolving darkroom door.

Stumped
After getting “logged in” the other day, Mama Max got stumped today. Guildenstern is feeling better as you can see by his kingly pose, and Diné was looking at him like “Who do you think you are?” Rosencrantz was hacking up a hairball a few yards to the east of Diné when I did these shots. Rosencrantz is quite a hacker when it comes to producing projectile hairballs, but I figured I’d spare you the action.

Eyes on Iris
The iris that I had to dig up in October 2012 and then replanted in the early spring last year after our electrical upgrade was completed are blooming quite nicely.

Broken Lens Breakdown
Along with the Canon F-1, I ended up with three lenses: a Canon EF 35-105mm (digital), a Canon EF 35-80mm with macro (digital) and a Canon FD 135mm (film). The lenses were described as “For parts or not working…” I dinked around with each lens — cleaned up contacts, loosened up things that seemed to tight, tightened up parts that seem too loose, cleaned the elements the best I could, and then I tried them out. I tested the 35-105mm and 35-80mm on a Canon 5D and a Canon 1Ds (both full frame digital bodies), and the 135mm on the Canon F-1 (35mm film body). There are two photos produced with each lens in this series. I believe I got the broken lenses working pretty well — can you guess which lens was used to produce each photo? “If you can’t be handsome, at least be handy” and produce beautiful photos!
