Welcome to the Obinoculars.com Blog

Hi, Bloggers - I'm RJ and I have set up this blog in association with my website http://www.obinoculars.com/ for you to use to comment on anything you wish. I hope you will visit the website which features top quality brand name binoculars, telescopes, GPS systems, rangefinders, night vision optics, trail cameras and spotting scopes. Please feel free to discuss any of our products and/or inquire about those you may be looking for and not finding. We will do everything in our power to assist you.

I became interested in optics when my long-time friend and colleague received a photo journalistic sabbatical from the college where she chairs the art department. We traveled over 23,000 miles by car - rimming the entire U.S. and going into many parts of Canada. During our six-month journey, she captured over 15,000 images, as we explored the famous, not-so-famous, and downright remote parts of this country. Cameras, camera binoculars, spotting scopes and our trusty GPS made it all possible.... and became, together with water bottles, our mainstays. Without these tools, we would have been lost (literally) and not have been able to enjoy the up-close and personal feeling you get when viewing majestic vistas and wildlife as though they were only a few feet away. Her pictures are stunning and may be viewed on her website, http://www.focusingonnaturephotography.com/

Please check out our sites, and let us hear from you. From time to time, I will post some of our adventures (and they were many). In fact, I put a sample of one of Pat's pictures above on the left. It is a photo of the Phoenix, AZ skyline at sunset as seen from a hilltop in Scottsdale.

Again - welcome to the blog - and blog away. I look forward to meeting you on this special spot.
