it arrived yesterday and is an updated version of one of the best (and best VALUE) cameras i've ever had the pleasure of using. it's made by GE (i'll post the model number later if anyone is interested) and has been my hands down favourite for "regular" picture taking of family, outdoors and events - as well as for posting pictures of food and cooking.
just in time for this weekend - i'm going to see about trying one new project and one or two that i saw posted here and want to try. no guarantees, but we'll see what happens ~

black would have been better than red, but no complaints!

missed deadlines and a lotta BS kept me from getting a tag this year, but i've been seeing some nice ones out on the way to work and back, as recently as this past week. i'll be keeping an eye out to see how the hunters do - this is usually a pretty good destination, but not quite as good as your neck of the woods! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Tas,
Thanks for your camera views.
I am in total agreement with you on German made machines in general. They are made to last. I love the Benq camera. They have come out with a new model 2012. So, I plan to go take a look at it.
Have lovely evening.

margi - it's a euphemistic colloquailism for "pronghorn antelope," which are common in this part of the country and are prized by hunters for the challenge and for the wonderful meat they provide:

Tas,
Thanks ... Thought this photo shows this species of Antelope much clearer.
 I have never had antelope, however, I have heard from a dear friend, that it is delicious on BBQ. He was in South Africa on business.
Exotic meats are a niche market here yet.

Those distinctive horns (note that they are true horns, not antlers, which is what deer have) are what give the pronghorn its name. These are very beautiful and interesting animals unique to the North American continent. AS I recall, they ahve characteristics of many plains animals, but are related to none. ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Tas,
Those pronghorns, are this antelope variety´s longevity on the severe Plains; their armor ... their weapons ... Beautiful creature, have to say. Unique ...
Are they native to Montana ? Were they originally brought from Africa and bred for their Prong horns ?
Ciao.
Marge.

they are native to the north american continent, margi - as far as i know, they are generally un-related to any antelope in africa, and in fact are not considered to be true antelope.
in general, their range is between the mississippi river and the rocky mountains, with montana, wyoming, colorado and new mexico being the most well-known areas to find them. they've been around since the ice ages, at least. ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

There is also quite a large population of them in South-Central Oregon / Upper California. http://www.fws.gov/sheldonhartmtn/Hart/index.html" rel="nofollow - Hart Mountain Nat'l Antelope Refuge near Lakeview OR, has a very large population of them, and they can be seen quite frequently in the wild all over that region. I used to see them all the time in the fields outside of town when I went to school in Klamath Falls. ------------- Mike http://lifeinpitrow.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Life in PitRow - My often neglected, somewhat eccentric, occasionally outstanding blog |

awesome, mike - i was unaware of that!
they are certainly beautiful animals, aren't they? i am always impressed with their speed, their protectiveness regarding their offspring and their procvlivity to "race" alongside vehicles on a dirt road. i've seen this myself a couple of times and it is really an experience. ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |
