this may be a real stretch, but the picture is just too funny not to

this the sea plane harbor for EAA. The swamp they use gives them refuge from lake storms.

This would have been perfect for a Winged Wednesday post too

Calm after the storm. This is what happens when you get a foot of rain in a day. Usually high and dry but we have had 4 "1 in a hundred year" floods in the last 20 years. This was when the waters subsided enough to travel. Ken

Bosque del Apache on my 1st and only trip there (2011). I didn't own a long lens & rented what I thought was a long lens (70-200mm f/4). I didn't know what the functional difference was between f/2.8 and f/4 was and all the clerk said was something like, "you get the shot or you don't". After I got there and saw the huge lenses (and mics on 6' booms) people had, I was reminded of the line in Crocodile Dundee, twisted into a photographic setting, "you think that's a lens? That's not a lens.....this is a lens!"
