I'm not trying to compete with your beautiful images, just entertaining myself, and trying to find a few images to post. That blind looks really handy. Your collection of broken limbs, blooming trees, etc., all add to the natural look that makes your images so successful. And you are at least a generation of lenses and cameras ahead of what I'm using. I do have an X-T2 in the mail, so maybe a few more pixels will satisfy me for now.
