What’s Up?
We have been getting up at about 4am and out on the lake for sunrise at about 5am. The weather has been extremely variable: on Saturday it was 88 degrees and sunny and still. The black flies were killing our ankles. On Sunday morning we fished through rain and high winds and being […]
What’s Up?
On Friday evening we limited out on Walleye. On Saturday morning we caught zero Walleye but did great with Northern Pike. I was thrilled with the 6-pounder that I landed on a blue and white Daredevil spoon. We spent an hour gently pursuing a pair of Common Mergansers and though we got within […]
What’s Up?
My 17 1/2 hour travel day was relatively uneventful except for the exhaustion. My first morning in northern Ontario was filled with a mother and baby Moose, Walleye, Northern Pike, nesting Herring Gull, and fishing Bald Eagles. Only nine 1/2 more days to go.

Me. Early. Very early on Thursday June 6. I fly to Toronto at 7:00am today. After a nearly five-hour layover, I continue on to Thunder Bay, Ontario (YQT) and then finally and hopefully board the one hour flight to Dryden (YHD). I am scheduled to arrive at 5:10am Central time. Total time in […]
What’s Up?
Lots.
Last night I went down to the lake as the wind was a gentle breeze from the northeast. There was an Osprey on the perch but the western sky was too, too clear. While I was tooling around, I found two medium-sized crane chicks that were surely hatched in May. Jim […]

I am proud to share with you today some wonderful photographs and a truly wonderful story.
I began working on the Nikon D850 Camera User’s Guide yesterday.
It finally rained here on Saturday afternoon. Morning photography has not been great larely and yesterday light winds from the west in the morning […]
What’s Up?
It was a bit cloudy today — Friday May 31, 2019 — right at sunrise so I set up the car in the driveway with my i-Phone on the tripod in the holder that I learned about in Dr. Cliff Oliver’s great iPhone Photography e-Guide . Then I grabbed Jim before his morning […]

What’s Up
Just the usual. Gorgeous day after goregous day with fewer and fewer morning photo opps despite perfect sky conditions and southeast winds. And long afternoon swims. I finished editing Andrew McLachlan’s Focus on Frogs e-Book last week and am waiting for him to return the final edit. After mnay months of work, Joe […]

What’s Up?
Things having been going downhill slowly since my recent great mornings down by the lake. This morning was poor despite the perfect weather and winds from the east. But I did learn something huge about my SONY a7R iii! And there is always tomorrow. The weather has actually been lovely here for more […]

What’s Up
To think that I almost decided not to go down to the lake on Monday morning … But then I thought, “The Ospreys have been active lately and the young in one nest are just about ready for their first flight.” So I went. Wow, what a morning. There were Osprey’s flying around […]
What’s Up?
The weather has finally turned gorgeous here at ILE. Friday morning down by the lake was so-so and after a slow start Saturday offered many excellent chances under clear skies with a developing east wind. With the Nikon 500 PF with a D850 on it, the 500 PF — the subject of today’s […]
What’s Up?
The weather here at ILE had continued clousy until it cleared late on Thursday afternoon. With the thrunder and lightning, I’ve been lucky in to get in my afternoon swims: a mile on Wednesday and 3/4 mile yesterday. It is early morning on Friday May 17, 2019 as I type. As the weather […]
What’s Up?
Before my (slow) mile swim yesterday afternoon, I created a 17-minute introductory FlexShooter Pro video on my I-Phone. I should be able to get it posted here on the blog in a day or two … 🙂
We’ve now sold five of the 20 FlexShooter Pro heads that we will be receiving […]
What’s Up?
The weather here has been clousy. On Monday I got in a late 70-length swim when the lightning and thunder finally quit. I have not been down to the lake in days …

What’s Up?
I woke very early on Sunday May 12 and met retired Boeing materials engineer Terry Tsuchiyama — visiting from Seattle, WA — for a morning of instruction at Gatorland. As on my last visit, I found fewer birds than in any year in recent memory. But again, the photography was very good to […]
