I used to spend most of my time traveling the world, now I spend most of it on my porch or in my garden. Photographer posting my own photos from my travels and observations

Brilliant red Gerber daisy covered in rain droplets, lit by the morning sun. Flowers in my garden have changed over the years. It's been many years since I had Gerber daisies. This year I've concentrated on growing sunflowers of various types to maturity. I've been skunked 3 or 4 years in a row with none making it. I've ignored pretty much anything else so any other flowers are just sort of there, if that.
Out of commission today due to outpatient surgery this morning BUT yesterday afternoon... EOS 3 2004- replaced my EOS 10s that died on a once in a lifetime trip ☹️ EOS 5D 2006 - first digital, wanted to stick with full frame w/my "L" lens collection EOS 6D 2013- needed GPS due to extensive international travel, less dust, less noise, & better in low light than the 5D (and lighter too) A 2nd 6D 2024 - bought used from B&H in almost mint condition in prep for a long "once in a lifetime" roadtrip & my the first 6D was showing signs of age, use, & abuse. It allowed me to have 2 lenses available/ready with camera settings exactly the same as I'm a lazy lens changer. :) My new EOS R6III came yesterday! Still learning all the buttons and getting the settings the way I want. It may take a while to settle on my preferences (some may change from the 6D)
