Contemplating the horse race tip sheet ...at the annual Keeneland horse track spring races. Ah, which one is most likely to win? On the other hand, which one can my betting dollar win the most? Which one is the best balance between risk and gain? Who is going to win? <b>Technical note</b>: This is a great lens. With the aperture wide open, this telephoto lens completely separated the subject from a dense crowd of spectators in the stands. The background crowd is rendered as colorful bokeh. I am using a Nikkor FTZ2 adapter.
Orange you glad I didn't say banana? I would call this a creamsicle tulip. Tulips around these parts mean Easter. Paler pastel colored tulips were not in vogue this year. Strong colors were.
