What’s Up? I went to two different crane sanctuaries on the morning of Friday, 24 FEB and called everything perfectly. With clouds at Tsurui Ito I enjoyed 30 minutes of dancing cranes; when sun came through the clouds I headed for Akan Crane Center and enjoyed great flight Whooper Swan flight photography. I capped off […] What’s Up? We finally had snow on the cranes on the last day of the Japan in Winter ITP, Thursday 23 FEB. Mr. Always Edits Tightly had 214 keeps after the first edit from the morning session only. That was followed up by a great afternoon session. The group flies home tomorrow. I am staying […] What’s Up? I am in my room at the lodge in Hokkaido as this was published at 5:22pm on 22 FEB here in Japan. I am getting ready to enjoy a nice mineral bath and spa at the local onsen. We had a great day again today: Whooper Swans and Long-tailed Tits — the latter […] What’s Up? After seven straight days of great photography on the Japan in Winter IPT our eagle boat trip out of Rausu on the morning of Tuesday, 21 FEB was a big challenge. We drove three hours through beautiful blowing snow but when we got on the boat we were greeted by wind against sun […] What’s Up? It was 1 degree F on Monday morning at Lake Kussharo, Japan. The Whooper Swan were cooperative as always. We finished off with flying and displaying Red-crowned Cranes right near our lodge. I will continue to have good internet access every day. I get home late on 28 FEB. Comments on yesterday’s […] Stuff I am somewhere in Japan. I will be home late on 28 FEB but should have pretty good internet access every day. var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; var ftY = “”; var ftZ = “”; var ftOBA = 1; var ftContent = “”; var ftCustom […] What’s Up? On Thursday, February 16, we spent a great day with the Whooper Swans and ate too many Ramen noodles. I will likely have good internet access every day. I get home late on 28 FEB. Please note the correct date (and day of the week) for the Fort DeSoto Spring In-the-Field Cheap […] What’s Up? We lucked out with the sea eagles on DAY 2 WED FEB 14. The sunny forecast turned cloudy bright — ideal for the two eagle species — and the sea ice moved in the night before we got on the boat. Photos to follow. And to think that was only Day 2! I […] What’s Up? I am somewhere in Japan. I will likely have good internet access every day.

Monday, February 13, was get-away day for the Japan group. We slept in, had a late breakfast, and then took a photo walk up the hill to the Onsen-ji Temple. Then it was back into our chartered van for the 3 1/2 hour ride to Haneda. We fly to Hokkaido in the very […] What’s Up? Our last visit to the Monkey Park, my last ever, was my best ever, by far. Eight inches of fresh snow on the ground along with falling snow. And we ended off with several monkeys eating cedar branches in the snow. It was a totally amazing day. Despite losing many images to a […] Stuff I am somewhere in Japan.

And best of all, more snow is in the forecast for today. I will likely have good internet access every day while I am in Japan. I get home late on 28 FEB. var ftClick = […] What’s Up? Not sure where I will be when this is published as the time and date changes from Florida to Japan baffle me. But at some point the group and the two leaders will be photographing Snow Monkeys, all hoping to create something new and different. I am hoping for snow 🙂 […] Stuff On Thursday in the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo I enjoyed a day of resting comfortably, catching up on jet-lag, exercising, and stock-piling blog posts. I should have good internet access every day from now until the end of the trip. I get home late on the last day of February. var […] Important Addendum/Update The brilliant “Bug” Bob Allen e-mailed me right after I posted this plea for help. Within ten minutes everything was back to normal. Linda kindly posted this: From Yahoo help here in the US, Error code 475 is “This can happen if you’ve sent a lot of messages in a short period of […] Safe and Sound in Tokyo I woke on Tuesday morning in the hotel by Orlando Airport at 3:40am. My flight to LAX took off a bit after 6:00am and arrived in LA a bit early. My outbound gate (41) was only a five minute walk from Gate 49 where we landed. I hung out in […] What’s Up? I am on my way to Tokyo. I will likely have good internet access every day. I get home late on 28 FEB. My flight from Orlando to LAX was a piece of cake. I am on the plane to Japan now but still on the ground — it is 11:10am Pacific […] Stuff It is early on Monday morning as I finish up this blog post. The Patriots won. Again 🙁 But you’ve got to hand it to Brady and Belichick; down 25 points and they did not give up. I am 85% packed for Japan. I head to an airport hotel this afternoon for an early […] Stuff By Sunday morning, my Think Tank rolling bag was packed with the photo gear I will be taking on the Japan trip. On Sunday, I packed one of my two checked bags, mostly with the cold weather stuff, boots, and heavy clothing: 49 3/4 lbs. I will be sharing the cold weather choices I […] |
