I'm keeping things low key this weekend, my new meds make me groggy so I take pics between naps.

About 40 feet, the shot is at 535mm. I’d go broke with film, for sure.

Ah, Swampy! You make my heart sing! Beautiful pics, as always. Raining here. 70 yest, dropping steadily and sposed to snow Mon—low in the low 20’s, mid 30’s for the high.

How come if they can come up with all these great meds, they can’t come up with something that doesn’t either make you fat or sleepy—or both! LOL

Oh, sorry to hear that. Good thing for us it does not affect your picture taking ability.

Most doctors seem to think that all everyone wants to do is sit on a couch. My doc isn't always pleased with some of the things I do. I know he wants to keep me alive, but I want to live while I'm alive, and there is a big difference.

While I'm out batting around with a camera I don't notice what's hurting at the moment, and I don't worry about the usual nitshat. Stuck on a couch I'd be raving and dangerous, in a very short time.

I get a laugh out of the way the pelican is eyeballing you. He sure posed perfectly for you, though.

Gorgeous shot of the sailboat. You can just feel the freshness of the air. There’s no smog or haze at the horizon.......just a razor sharp line of water. Not many places can offer that any more.

Thanks for sharing.

The haze will come with warmer weather, I’m afraid, plus heat distortion.

Keep doing what you love as long as you can! It’s better than any man made meds.

Like I told someone the other day—all those people who never eat anything good/fattening because it’s bad for them, well, they’re gonna die too. And I’m going to have a lot more fun than they do! If I want a piece of fried chicken or choc, I’m gonna eat it. LOL

I drive by these guys every day on the way home from work. You inspired me to pull over and shoot some...

A Great Egret fishing at the Napa-Sonoma Marshes State Wildlife Area.

Wait for it....wait for it...


Ha! Gotcha!!

That strike is something else, lots of power in that skinny neck. Fine shots!

You don't ever want to tailgate me, I'm liable to head for the ditch without warning if I see something.
