July Weather

I'm trying to remember when it was that I was transported to Florida despite my boycott of fascist states. With daytime temperatures in the mid to upper 90's, nighttime lows in the 70's and thunderstorms every afternoon, I must have been.

In weather like this there's only one time of day I like to be out shooting. Sunrise time.

Here are some scenes from this morning at lock E5 with my duo of f/2.8 zooms, the most recent of which, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM, arrived yesterday.

No alligators noted.
