It was a festive day at MBFM! I had a blast, and I hope all of you will as well . . .

I admired his ear decoration, and asked if I could photograph him. He readily agreed!

The green peppers with their curly stems really caught my eye. The ear decoration on the fellow in the first one is really cool! TY for sharing!

So glad you enjoyed. When I saw all those tomatoes as they moved into the distance, I KNEW I had to get that shot. So I did.

My big lens (100 to 400 mm) is for the large faraway objects, like the moon. The photo below is the last quarter moon, and I took it in 2025:

That last photo is special for sure. It spoke to me: "Take my photo" it said. And so I did, most happily.
