Description

This is the last photo made on my Nikon 70-200 zoom on the last day of 2006. Why do I say "last"... because I slipped on the thin layer of snow atop the short golf course grass and down went Garth, tripod, camera and all... Garth landed hard on his duff, and the D50 landed hard on her lens... snapped off the mount ring, bent the hood, and the lens now has the flexibility of a "Lensbaby"... and now sounds like a baby rattle... anybody have a good lens for sale?

Oh Garth, what a shame! I hope you didn't hurt yourself! I really like this shot. This must have been shot on Sunday morning. I noticed how beautiful and frosty everything was but time would not allow me to get out there...when I see this beauty...I sure wish I had of! #580831

Actually, it was shot about 1:00PM Sunday... went to church first, but took the camera and tripod with me so I could shoot on the way home... I couldn't bear to see all those lovely ice crystals going to waste :-)
Happy New Year to you and Wes. #3770756

So sorry to hear about this Garth, I guess there is some comfort in the last one being a great one!
Hopefully nothing more than your pride was hurt when you feel.... #3775698

Garth, for you this image would no doubt have a bitter-sweet connotation, but to us viewers, it is a very nice work of art. Sorry about your D50, very good image though.
