What’s Up? I had begged John Dupps and Peter Peter Hawrylyshyn who had signed up for the full day on Saturday to stay on for the next morning of the Hooptie Mini IPT. I explained that extending for another session would greatly improve their chances of having one of those very special days. As it […] Stuff We had a great morning on the Hooptie Deux. We had a fine working lunch. We had a great afternoon at a local rookery. I am tired. I need to get up early. So I will be brief here 🙂 Today’s post was completed in less than an hour on Saturday night. It was […] What’s Up? After waking yesterday at 2:41am, before the 3:15am alarm, I drove through thick fog in Polk County but as I got closer to the coast and Fort DeSoto visibility improved a bit. I stopped on the way at my secret spot on Tierra Verde and the Yellow-crowned Night-Herons were there as advertised; see […] What’s Up? Yesterday was a rewarding day for me. We sold nearly 100 copies of the new 7D Mark II Users Guide in half a day. We are off to a good start. If you missed the announcement see same in yesterday’s blog post here. Or skip the hype and purchase yours in the BAA […] Stuff Everything came together yesterday and somewhat surprisingly I was able to finish the 7D II User’s Guide by mid-morning. I have even begun trying to catch up on e-mails…. And I did have time for a longer than usual swim, my core exercises, and an ice bath. This blog post took about 1 […] This Just In 7D Mark II User’s Guide Now Available The long-awaited 7D Mark II User’s Guide is finished. You can purchase your copy right now in the BAA Online Store here for $59. This is the highest priced user’s guide surpassing the 5D II User’s Guide at $50. Why? I did twice as much […] What’s Up? I spent most of yesterday hard at work on the 7D Mark II Users Guide that so many are clamoring for. I got a ton done and will continue my efforts today. I did have time for a nice swim and an ice bath. This blog post, which took about 2 hours […] What’s Up? Following a Saturday afternoon of torrential rain, the pool was down to 70 degrees but by 1pm it was up to 75 on a relatively balmy day so I took my first swim since last week. And enjoyed it. I did a lot of work on the 7D Mark II User’s Guide and […] What’s Up? On yet another dark, dingy morning I left the hotel at 7:00am and headed to DeSoto. Though rain in the area was forecast for about 9am it began drizzling pretty hard as I got near the turn to the park so I just kept on driving. With no traffic I arrived home in […] What’s up? Five-sixths of the sold-out Hooptie Deux IPT group joined me for the DeSoto Add-on IPT. The always helpful, always smiling Mark Hardymon headed down to Naples, FL after our Thursday morning session. We were joined by the smiling, delightful Dutchman Wilfred (Willy) Marissen and Lou Newman’s friend Betty Neupert. We did well on […] What’s Up? The Hooptie IPT lucked out on our last morning… I awoke early on Thursday, even for me. I peeked out the window of my hotel room to see torrential rain with the palm trees whipping in the wind. The Tampa TV weather noted that it would be “a rainy morning with thunderstorms followed […] What’s Up? With a wind shift to the west and a bit of persisting fog, Wednesday morning was the worst of the IPT. That said a lot of learning went on and everyone made some nice pleasing blurs of spoonbills, pelicans, and cormorants. And later on we had a nicely juxtaposed group of three spoonbills […] What’s Up? More spoonbills. Tons of pelican flight. Tons of fog. Tons of learning about exposure. Lunch at Ruby Tuesday’s. A great Photoshop session. And an hour of fine land-based photography at a local rookery. This blog post took 2 hours to prepare and was published at 3:50am from my hotel room in Brandon, […] What’s Up? More spoonbills. Lots more White Ibises coming in each day. Lots of flight photography. This blog post took 2 hours to prepare and was published at 4:45am from my hotel room in Brandon, FL. What the ??? See item 2 for the answer. Hooptie Spoonbill Mini-IPT The Hooptie Roseate Spoonbill Mini-IPT […] What’s Up? Great group. Four recidivists (repeat clients), two new folks. Lots of spoonbills. Lots of flight photography. Core exercises. No swim even though there is a large pool at the hotel. This blog post took 1 1/2 hours to prepare and was published at 4:45am. What the ??? What the ??? answer tomorrow. […] Stuff The pool was down to 65 degrees on Saturday morning. No swim for me. I headed over to Brandon to meet the Hooptie group at 7:30pm for a meet and greet. As I typed on Saturday afternoon, I was in the car with Alan and Pat Lillich–where have they not been with me??? headed […] What’s Up? After yet another cold, clear night the pool was at 67 1/2 degrees. I swam. Core exercises. Catching up on e-mails. Thinking about packing for my trip over to Brandon and the Hooptie Deux Roseate Spoonbill IPT. But I put that off until tomorrow. I will probably leave just after lunch. I want […] What’s Up? With yet another cold front the pool was down to a not-so-balmy 71 degrees yesterday. I swam anyway :). I am still trying to catch up on old e-mails and have made some progress there. This post took about 2 hours to put together and was published from my home at ILE, […] What’s Up? Another good swim, a session of core exercises, and lots of catching up on unanswered e-mails. More of the same today. This post took close to 3 hours to put together and was published from my home at ILE, FL at 7:46am. Red Letter Day at BAA Yesterday we signed up […] What’s Up? Yesterday was another swim in a slightly warmer pool, core exercises, and lots of catching up. As most of you have figured out, I have been swamped recently. I started this post on Monday but needed to get in touch with Chuck Westfall for some clarifications. I finished it on Wednesday morning. In […] |
