You Be the Judge: Did the Green Heron Hold On?

What’s Up?

I woke at 2:30am on Friday, read until 3:30, got out of bed and finished packing for JAX, created today’s YouTube video, and had time for a short session on the pier to satisfy my addiction. I headed into town at 8:15am.

TJ did his usual bang-up job on my right shoulder, […]

Right Place, Right Time, and Dumb Luck? Or Not?

What’s Up?

Sunday morning was shaping up to be a dud. I was about ready to head home before 7:30, but I paused when I stepped off the pier hoping that something good might fly by. Something did and I made the most of it. Then I got on the ground on Park Avenue and […]

On Discovering New Stuff

What’s Up?

I got down to the pier early and was glad I did as there was some nice sunrise silhouette color. And a Little Blue Heron foraged in just the right spots. Next, I created a few Osprey images. Then it clouded over completely, and the wind died to nothing, so I headed home […]
