Thanks Lion rock and Click!
Lion rock - I do not intend to "rub in" any thing (if it sounds like that - I'm sorry!). I just was trying to answer the second part of the Jack's question...
(BTW I had to check in dictionary what "to rub in" means ( ;D). As you probably noticed already, English is not my primary language and I apologize for eventual words put wrong way)

ISv,
Don't worry, I was just trying to joke with you about the cold weather we had that lots of us (may be) could do without.
And, hey, English is not my mother tongue, either.
So, don't let me upset you at all. Jack will tell you I like to joke a lot.
Anyhoooo, you shoot vey nice photos, do show more.

Riley is a good guy, I'll attest to that but then so is everyone on this thread. We all like to "kid" around, like "pull your leg". We can decipher pretty well anything.
Hey Riley I finished tiling my main floor and it ain't all that bad -nearly two years from starting leveling to now, but that planter was in the middle! What a relief.

Jack
Jack, zoom is good in some situations but you know very well that primes have their advantages. I choose this lens because of the price and rather good (for zoom) performance. It is slow and combined with D7200 makes BIF very difficult prey... And no weather sealing (I hike a lot).

Jack,
Thanks for the kind words.
And, so nice that you finished the tiles, your wife must be pleased! I guess you'll have a great gift from your wife! Haha! Congrats to you and what's to come.
BTW., we're going the Vancouver in March for a few days for a memorial service for my mom-in-law. We fly to Seattle and then rent a car to go north.
There should be lots of bald eagles outside of White Rock, so I guess I'll shoot some. Wish me luck.

Lion rock, no bad feelings here. I like when people are joking, and if I didn't like the guys who post here I wouldn't participate. Keep joking, the life is tough without jokes
! Well, without tiles could be worst

Riley, seems B eagles are more plentiful than ever; a great comeback story so you'll get shots I'm sure.
My hope is to drive to Bella Coola this spring, maybe May. I'd like to shoot Grizzlies and anything that moves.

I got my present in advance - the 1DX2 and the 400 DO II - pretty good payment, no?

ISv,
Of all the coincidences, just finished talking to my sister-in-law on the phone.
She's planning a trip to Kaanapali (and other locations) in May! We may join them. Woot!!

Jack,
Those are prepayment! Encouragement!
Now, the real payment should be extracted. I see one problem: You're given the best kit, what's to ask for?
Serious thinking ahead!
The trip sounds like fun, how far is it from Vancouver?
Do bring bear repellant when you go. I hear they're not too friendly!
Oh, everyone else, please forgive the photo here, a thousand humble apologies, totally out of bound, but for it's for Jack, these bear are friendlier 8).

ISv,
At this point, it's still in planning stage.
Have high hopes to go.
I'll try hard to shoot, everything in sight!!!
BTW., do you know how dark is that area at night? I'd like to shoot the stars if its dark. Some shots I long for.

Riley, a bear in a bird thread! How could you. Very cute.
Yes we carry bear spray. A ferry ride up the coast would be amazing for you. It's not that far from Vancouver.

I have no idea how dark it's there, but the island is not that big - you always could find some dark place. Keep in mind: here you will have problem with the winds for long shots. If you go on top of Haleakala, you will have eventually the darkness (moon?), but also some wind and clouds (it's the rainy season here anyway).
