What’s Up?
My chiropractor was late as usual, so I did not get to DeSoto until 5:20pm. I took a scouting walk with the 200-600 despite the mostly cloudy skies. I met a nice lady in a beach chair and later, a guy, who turned out to be her husband, Chris Vickerson. They live in […]

Two cooperative, un-banded!, Hurricane Idalia-driven flamingoes showed up on Thursday morning and were photographed by about 25 photographers, almost all of them […]
