What’s Up? After a stop at Publix for some vegetables, Jim and I made it back to Indian Lake Estates at 8:34pm. I slept 8 1/2 hours. I have lots of work and exercising to do before I fly to Long Island to visit my 94 year old Mother in Holbrook and my younger daughter […] What’s Up? I thought about heading out on Wednesday morning but the weatherman said “mostly cloudy” so I put off packing till the last minute. It dawned clear and sunny 🙁 My non-stop Southwest flight from San Diego to Orlando is scheduled to leave at 10:50am and arrive at MCO at 6:20pm where and when […] What’s Up? On Tuesday, 17 JAN, Patrick headed back to work and I headed to the cliffs at La Jolla for the 12th straight morning. After a foggy start, the sun came out and the pelicans looked glorious. I have already started packing for my flight to Orlando tomorrow. I am having lunch with the […] What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman and I enjoyed another wonderful morning with the pelicans and then moved down the coast a bit to do more gulls in flight. We returned to the Whimbrel site only to find no Whimbrels. But we did have some great chances with California Gulls of various ages, several Willets, and some […] What’s Up? The 2017 San Diego IPT ended in fine fashion. On a cloudy morning we had lots of good pelican flight chances and then headed to the low cliffs. There we found Black Turnstone, Willet, Least Sandpiper, Western Sandpiper, and lots of Sanderlings. With cloudy very bright skies and an east wind we finished […] What’s Up? The weather forecast for La Jolla was rain till 10:30am. We enjoyed our first clear blue sky sunrise. There were lots of pelicans but, with the weekend, probably more photographers. But it was the groups first chance on the pelicans with early morning sun on them and we had some gorgeous birds. I […] What’s Up? Wow. It rained all night and was raining at 5am. At 5:30am I got in touch with everyone in the group and let them know, rolling at 7:00am. We got to the cliffs just as the rain stopped and enjoyed three hours of fabulous Brown Pelican photography. Twice there were more than 100 […] What’s Up? We dodged another bad weather bullet and made hay while it did not rain. We had a second great morning with the pelicans and then decided on a late lunch to allow for more photography as long as the weather held. We made a wiggle and spent an hour photographing a pair of […] What’s Up? The San Diego IPT got off to a great start as the rain held off for most of the morning. We had lots of pelicans. Beautiful pelicans. Then I fed the group a helping displaying Brandt’s Cormorants. We had a nice lunch at Islands on Balboa and had a nice afternoon session with […] What’s Up? When I left the hotel on Tuesday morning it was very foggy. Surprise, surprise. When I got to La Jolla it was clear with some light clouds on the eastern horizon. There were some pelicans on the cliffs and with everyone staying back, there were about 100 of the big birds by 7:45am. […] What’s Up? I photographed in the rain for more than two hours on Monday morning. I got wet and I got some great images. I meet the San Diego group at 7:30pm on Wednesday. There is some drizzle in the forecast. See below to learn about photographing in the rain. Anywhere. After four days […] Great News, for now … As of about 12:30pm Pacific time, the BAA Blog came back on line. If you were frustrated earlier this morning, you can see today’s post by clicking here. As regular readers know, we have been having intermittent server/and or Word Press problems. We have been working on this issue, […] What’s Up? On Sunday morning Patrick Sparkman and I were amazed when we showed up at the cliffs in La Jolla to find zero pelicans. We hung out for a while and zero pelicans flew in. There were about a dozen photographers. By 7:30, we decided to go find something. We did. I took Patrick […] What’s Up? I had more fun with the XT-2 on Saturday morning and then watched the first two NFL wild card games. I continue to learn the rig and improve my skills. I will be sharing about a half dozen more images made with the Fujifilm gear over the next week or two and publish […] What’s Up? Friday morning at La Jolla was not as good as Thursday morning, but there was still lots to photograph. I already have lots of XT-2 images and info to share with you. Stay tuned; you will not have long to wait … var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX […] San Diego Gear Bags. Yes, bags with an s. The Stuff in the Second Gear Bag Will Be a Big Shocker ...What’s Up? After a late start loading about 12 wheelchair passengers — there but for the grace of God go we — and about two dozen families with small children, we were late leaving Orlando. After flying into a stiff headwind we got into San Diego about 45 minutes late. That said, I love the […] What’s Up? If everything went as planned, I flew to San Diego on Wednesday afternoon. After a day of working perfectly, our Word Press hosting problems re-surfaced on Tuesday afternoon … If you are unable to access the blog, please try again in an hour or so as the problems have been inexplicably intermittent.
