It's good to see him back again. I missed him. Glad it was just pressure of work (and travel ) that kept him from blogging.

It is blowing up a fair old storm here today. Evening rush hour is predicted to be especially bad.
It was exciting in the woods I have to say - chunks of tree falling down all over the place.
I'm glad I'm not by my son though - his house is on the harbour in Harlingen and the wind is much stronger there. Not much between him and the Waddenzee, and not much between that and the North sea.

Time for some comfort food methinks. Cottage pie tonight.

Look at it this way - you'll never get his time back again. He is as he is - and you are proud of him no matter what. Take some great photos of him.

My second and third were definitely no oil paintings but that didn't stop me taking hundreds of photos of them. The first was a good looking baby, nicely round head no weird markings. Tthe other two were monsters - huge babies with blotches and squashed heads and all sorts of things. Even I couldn't call them beautiful.

Luckily they grew up to be very handsome.

Congratulations Tim.

A fine set of photos of a fine young man.

Don't worry about the cradle cap. Baby photos should be wrinkles, birthmarks, cradle cap and all - if only to embarrass them when they bring their girlfriend/boyfriend home when they are older .

Me neither.

Let's hope so!

I'd nominate Lilly has having a very distinctive style.
She hasn't been around lately, but I have always admired her photography.

I don't have a style.

DC is the af system in, for instance, the new 18-135. Not sure how it works - no doubt Stefan can blind us with science - but it is nearly silent, like SDM lenses.

I have no idea whether DC lenses work on a K-x though.

I've just been Streetviewed .

Finally in stock at some Pentax premium dealers in the Netherlands.

€1199 in Urk, for the body. K'berg seemingly still don't have it, nor do K-E.
