20 Years of Service
Our 2000 Honda Accord EX served us well for over 20 years, registering 178,605 total miles. It was time for it to retire from service and to provide a source of revenue to a local charity.

My Liberty Adventure
Today’s Independence Day holiday is an unusual one. In the past, we had participated in local community parades, visited places, and/or watched the holiday fireworks. Due to COVID-19, we celebrate the 244th year of America’s founding at home.
Visiting New York in 2014, we got to see the Statue of Liberty. Other than the US flag, no other imagery comes close to symbolize the nation and what it stands for.
Due to lack of planning, we did not get to go up the national monument. Nevertheless, it was a sight to behold as the ferry approached Liberty Island.

My Bird Adventure
Birds are everywhere. Yet I’ve not taken time to observe them – till now that is. They wake me up in the morning whenever I’m camping outdoors. Most of them are small, camouflaged, and quick. Within the last week, I’ve paid more attention to the birds in my backyard – see the last three pictures below.
All pictures taken with Nikon D4S and these lenses:
- Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8D (#1, 12/21/2014)
- Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E (#2-#4, 11/29/2019)
- Nikkor AF-S 200-400mm f/4G (#5-#15, 12/25-12/26/2019)
- Nikkor AF-S 200-400mm f/4G w/ TC-14E III (#16-#18, 06/18/2020)

Throw Back Tuesday
As part of a team event during the stay-at-home period, I scanned this family portrait that was made 46 years ago when my father received his masters degree.
Another photograph I scanned was this 5×7 picture. I made this picture from start to finish. Using the school darkroom, I developed the film and printed this picture 34 years ago.
The next photo was taken 20 years ago when 53% of my paternal extended family had the opportunity to come together from at least three states for a family gathering.

Stay-at-home Adventure
During the great Coranavirus stay-at-home of 2020 that started March 21, schools closed their doors and required students to complete the school year through distance learning.
