A lot has happened since the last post in December of last year.  We made five trips to Auburn and a side trip to Rosemary Beach this year. We were blessed with two new grandchildren, one in Texas and one in Maine.  The June Auburn trip began with a few days in Texas to see the new baby.  I had lunch with brother Bud Powada at the Salt Lick BBq in Driftwood, Texas.  Paul went with me.

I bought a rebuilt Nikon D5 last Spring.  A very different camera, less resolution but great speed and low light ability.  It has been my go-to camera despite the fact that I can only shoot in Jpeg for now.  A new computer is on my list.  All the digital darkroom software is by subscription now with a higher version of windows.  Raw will have to wait.

The Topsham Fair sort of finished off the summer.  The garden is done, the boat is prepared for winter, firewood is in.  We went to Auburn last weekend - just for the weekend, but Thanksgiving is on the horizon.  Hard to believe snow is ahead when it is almost 60 every day.  A photo shoot in Cutler next weekend.  Maybe I won't hurt my back this year.
