There seems to be an attempt by Annika1980 (AKA Bret Douglas) to

For the sheep bleating in the background... Baaaaah.

I have, mostly, moved to Brandon, MS; just east of Jackson.

Notice how they scamper to the side of the Tennessee Scammer
no matter what the post? Notice how the TS responds in silence

way Bret is being attacked from every which way.  I know it's nothing

Practica ! ) I'm ready to get a budget DSLR , probably a used Pentax

I have a 30 year  old Richo kit lense  (35-70) which is not great, but

"Bret keep shooting and explaining to those of use who still
