UPS having shown up 3 hours later than usual, I pulled a long 7 hour drive to California’s White Mountains, car-camping in Silver Canyon right around 12:30 am, where I finally got some rest.

Proceeding up canyon this (late) morning was a large herd of Bighorn Sheep.

The new Olympus 75mm f/1.8 ED is a a bit bigger than most Micro Four Thirds lenses, but from what I see already, very sharp and it handles very nicely on the E-M5. I like it a lot already.

I wrote this blog entry from a pullout at an elevation of 10,500' — good solid AT&T 4G signal in the right spot, using my MacBook Pro Retina (glare is fine, and I prefer it to the older 17" anti-glare screen).
