20 April, 2020: CobraCountry reflection: This Cobra’s owner captured the colour and the persona you see above of his red Cobra using only his little I (model GX7) consumer-grade digital camera. It has a tack-sharp lens, but a weak built-in flash. So he purchased and mounted an inexpensive 3rd party flash for more balanced illumination out in that harsh Arizona sunshine. And he followed our Cobra Photography Tips to the very letter.
Dave’s extra effort in capturing those fine photos paid dividends: today (20 April 2020) Dave informed us that his li’l red reptile sold to a lucky new owner and a new stable across the pond… in Europe!

(Monday, 13 December): On another, less cheery note: Judy and I grieve for those victims of the enormous tornadoes that plowed through Kentucky, Illinois, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee this past weekend. In the small midwestern (now reduced to rubble) town of Mayfield, Kentucky alone, the death count early today (Monday, 13 December) has reached 78 and climbing. At the same time we salute those folks of FEMA, The American Red Cross, The Western Kentucky Tornado Relief, Mercy Chefs and the spunky civilian volunteers who are toiling 24/7 to rescue and shelter and feed the survivors. You can google <Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund> to donate. CS
Also, singer/actor/entertainer Vicente (nickname: ″Chente″) Fernandez, known as El Rey (“The King”) passed away on Sunday (12 December) at age 81 in Guadalajara. He was as iconic a singer/ entertainer among his legions of fans within and well beyond Mexico as Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett here in the U.S. We salute you, Chente! CS
