And the same to you.
Don't forget to give the porker a good drive over the break.

HAPPY EASTER to you Dan & Annie from Les & Claudia.
We snow birds returned to Framingham from Florida on April 1st. What a reception! To be greeted by a glorious display of early blooming flowers, plants, bushes and trees was a royal welcome. New England's 2011-12 was a very unusual winter with little snow and lots of sunny, warm days, which hastened the early blooms.
Will post some examples of the cheerful flora very soon. Claudia just reported seeing her first robin . No! two, - now three of them.
Spring has sprung!

Well you won't believe it! I went out on Snapper rocks today to photograph the surfers just as they jumped the wave coming out of the Pacific. Had to get right out on the end of the rocks because had the FM3a with the 45mm f2.8P
Reasonably large surf so had to judge my time on the end of the rock with the sets. Darted out between sets - took a couple of snaps with Velvia 50 as they climbed up on the next set - then ran back so as not to get the camera swamped - and fell headfirst into a gap when jumping from one rock to another - smashed my legs and hands as they took the force of the fall and slammed my forehead into the rocks.
Amazingly - Anne says not so amazingly - no damage to the head!! I had a thick cap on which took the force of the blow and not even a cut on the forehead. But the legs, toes and hands are cut to bits. Had my mate Adam up at lunchtime to do the stitching. Annes says I will survive complaining loudly as usual. She is pretending to complain about the blood on the sheets as I leak all over the place tonight (maybe she is joking and she really cares?) She took photos of the repair process with the D200 so I'll post them tomorrow - just a bit tired tonight.
The things we do to get the shot, eh?

Ouch! Hope it heals quickly. Also, I have a hunch she might actually care.

WHOA!!!! Please mend fast you have a good stern Wife. Yes the things we do for our shots... I have slowed down on some of them though... well almost. I have not been hung from a Helicopter in years. :-) Though I did walk out in the River Flood 2 years ago for a shot. :-)

Hope you mend soon Dan! I know what you mean, I almost got caught by the rising tide while chasing a shot once. Be careful out there everyone!
