I own way too many Kelly Moore bags, but I just can not resist them!! They are the best out there for carrying a camera and a lens for a day walk or on an airplane. They look stylish and more like a purse or computer bag than for photography. I have a big orange one that goes with me on every photography workshop that I attend. It even holds my 15inch Macbook Pro, in addition to my camera with 24-105 attached and my tripod head(legs are in my check-on), extra batteries and my portable hard drive, plus my wallet. Â A few months ago I decided to get a new bag that converted to a backpack too. I loved it. How could I help it – it was a Kelly Moore and bright Orange! Â It carried my new CanonM with all it’s lens and attachments and look pretty cool too. Â I used it like crazy until one day the latch came off. Not sure what happened, but it didn’t look like it would be fixable. I wrote the company and found out that bag had been discontinued. What a disappointment, until they told me to go look on their site and pick out any bag I wanted to replace it for free plus free shipping and to not send the defective bag back. I got the new bag and love it. No, it is not orange, but it is my first canvas one. It has the CanonM safely inside. This one is canvas with leather trim and carries a laptop too. I can not say enough about the Kelly Moore company. I will deal with them in the future for sure. I highly recommend them. Anyone who knows me well, has seen that wonderful big orange bag I carry. I am not sure you would ever guess it is a camera bag. The neat thing about the Kelly Moore bags, is that the inside protection for camera gear comes out and you can use it for just a purse or overnight bag. Take a look at them. No, they are not cheap, but they wear like iron and the company stands behind their products. Here is a quick shot of the label on the new replacement bag.
Mr. Buck was certainly more interested in the Ms. Doe than me and my camera. Once again captured when that golden light was at it’s best.
This big guy has been visiting us many times throughout the fall and winter. He likes to hang out right in front of my house, often polishing his horns on the trees. He arrived this time just when the golden light was bathing the countryside before Mr. Sun went to bed.
We had a one horned buck around the house all fall during hunting season. Pretty sure he was aware it was safe here. It sure looked like he must have been in a fight with another buck and lost part of his horn. I saw an antelope in Tanzania with one horn too and the guide told us that more than likely it was the result of a fight.
Caught this one just after Mr. Sun went down and left us with the gorgeous oranges and reds of sunset. Wish I could have gotten a lower perspective to capture the full silhouettes of the cows.
I took this of the Highwoods just as that golden light of pre-sunset was starting. The clouds were especially nice, weren’t they? It certainly doesn’t look like February. Feels more like spring lately. Took several shots and couldn’t single out just one, so today there are two to take a peek at. As you can see, I grabbed my little Olympus to get the shot and I think it worked pretty good.
Mom got her nails done yesterday and she was so proud of them. Funny how something so little can make her so happy.
