Death Valley like I've never seen it before
The forecast had some rain for Death Valley National Park, so I immediately booked a campsite. I was hoping for some rare conditions in the park, and I did get some of that. The consequences were a bit unexpected, though.

This lens might finally retire my beloved Tamron 28-200mm
For the last few months, I've been using the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8. It's a wonderful lens, but it comes with serious drawbacks. Will it replace my all-time favorite Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6?

I wasn't ready to leave
I have a hard time leaving the PNW. The days are beautiful and moody, very different from what's waiting for me further east. So even though I was supposed to be gone by now, I decide to give the Oregon Coast a couple more days.
