Pancake Day
Shrove Tuesday
My season in Texas is rapidly coming to a close and my Nikon D750 still hasn’t returned yet from the “Service Advisory”. Unlike many of the online praises for Nikon’s quick service and resolution of this issue, I’m very disappointed with the length time and lack of communication by Nikon USA.
I went to the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas. The normal admission fee is $10, but if you are a local resident or Winter Texan the fee is only $5. So remember to bring some ID with your Texas address. It is the first time I’ve ever seen an Eastern Fox Squirrel. They are slightly larger than most of the squirrels I’m familiar with and have a wonderful fluffy tail (foxtail). Their color is almost golden reddish and they loved to pose for the camera.
