What’s Up

My 2015 taxes are done and on their way to the accountant! I came up with a new method for preparing my end of the work last year when I got audited for 2014; it puts nearly all of the responsibility on me and almost none on daughter Jennifer. My return will be […]

What’s Up

I am just about finished with my 2015 taxes awaiting a only return e-mail from my accountant on a wages question. I enjoyed my longest swim in many months and am heading for an ice bath in a very few minutes.

What’s Up

Sunday was a hazy lazy day. I did a bit of mopping up on my 2015 taxes, worked on a few Soduko puzzles, and watched some golf and NBA playoff basketball. And again I enjoyed a great sunny day swim. Oh, and started and finished this blog post.

I took a rare […]

What’s Up

I spent most of Friday getting lots more done on my 2015 taxes. I enjoyed another nice swim.

A Big Loss

I learned on Friday that Michael Reichmann, founder of the highly respected Luminous Landscape website, passed away at age 71 on Wednesday past. I am sending love, strength, and energy to […]

I spent most of the day on Wednesday watching re-runs of Chopped while working on my 2015 taxes. Lots more work for the IRS this week.

I enjoyed a nice swim and an early evening ice bath.

I spent most of the day on Tuesday catching up on e-mails and Used Gear stuff. I enjoyed a swim and an ice bath. And I started working on my 2015 tax return. Lots more of that today.

I learned yesterday that the sale of Paul Roscoe’s Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS […]

What’s Up

Saturday was a much appreciated lazy day. I was out early in the morning and enjoyed sitting behind my lowered tripod in six inches of water photographing a variety of shorebirds. It is Saturday afternoon as I type; I will head back out at about 4:30pm in hopes that the newly found spectacle […]

What’s Up

Apologies. This blog post was published at 3:30am on the morning of Friday, May 13, 2016 with grievous errors in the image caption. As of 9:42am, those errors have been corrected. We have been enjoying consistently great afternoon sessions on the Fort Desoto IPT and finally had a great morning shoot today, Friday […]

What’s Up

I met the Desoto group at 3pm sharp. Right now it is looking like nine happy campers, and Mike Ross’s wife Joanne is the most serious birder in the group so she too is having a great time.

After the introductory program we spent several hours at a high tide puddle photographing […]

What’s Up?

I had lots more energy on Sunday than I did on Saturday. I took care of some Nature’s Best Contest business and micro-adjusted several lenses with my new 1D X. I have never seen such tight AF clusters… Overall I had one of my best days in recent memory.

I am heading over […]
