This is a pretty boring shot of the moon, but I wanted to take a photo of the "Super Moon" while I had the rental 300mm f2.8, and practice for the upcoming Solar Eclipse. I’ll use these settings as a base to start with.

Fortunately for him he visited the bird feeder before the squirrels did. They don’t leave the birds anything once they find it.

Hot and Spicy

The Appetizer:  A basket full of Escabeche

I fill up on this stuff. It’s Mexican pickled carrots, onions, garlic, and red new potatoes, with jalapenos, but I don’t get any of those.  Those are too hot and spicy for me. I also get a few fresh radishes.  I munch on this while I wait for my entrée.

A Soft Veggie Taco-Two corn tortillas piled high with tender, pink Pinto beans, Spanish rice, a wee bit of Guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa, and garnished with a slice of fresh tomato.  I ate the whole thing.

This is my favorite “fast food”.  What’s your idea of “fast food”?
