@[email protected] I didn't have much time to check out their camera gear but one guy had the Sony A1 with a very professional looking stability rig. It was obviously top notch stuff. Here's a ph...

Planted 3 avocado trees on a sheltered spot on a terrace. At our altitude (750m) they might need some tender love and care especially next winter. Hoping they take and produce as we both love guacamol...
