Never Too Late On Saturday, September 22, 2018, multiple IPT veteran Indranil Sircar, newbie Ed Dow, Amy Novotny, and I enjoyed one of the greatest-ever mornings at Fort DeSoto. As we made our way to the Gulf we were met with a huge feeding spree with many thousands of pelicans gulls, terns, herons, and shorebirds […] Stuff I spent much of Thursday getting ready to head over to Tierra Verde for the upcoming six-day Fort DeSoto road trip.

I walked an easy 4.6 miles in three sessions. The left knee continues to improve. I was glad to learn that Will Craig sold his original Canon EOS 7D camera body in excellent condition (with fewer than 26,000 actuations) for $299.00 soon after it was listed […] Why I Go With One … My long-time policy has always been to go with one photographer on US IPTs. Why? If you are interested enough in learning and are willing to take time off from work and travel (often by air) to the location, I never want to disappoint you. That is true even […] Stuff It was a weekend of walking and treatments and lots of football. And more than a few folks wrote seeking gear advice so that kept me a bit busy. If you would like to photograph puffins from close range and in flight next summer do consider signing up for the just-announced IPT below as […] Stuff I found a beautiful feather on my morning walk and spent about an hour photographing it.

Just hop on a Southwest flight to Tampa (TPA) and learn more about bird photography than you could have ever imagined.

With my knee continuing to improve, I am walking two to three easy miles each day concentrating on form: belly out, shoulders back and down, chin down, and striking first with the heel. This blog post took 2 1/2 hours to prepare on Thursday morning. It is now 9am […] Stuff On Monday afternoon I spotted a Walking Stick on the pool cage. Closer inspection showed that there was a small male atop what I assumed to be the much larger (about five inches in length) female. I corralled them onto a stick, set the stick up with a Plamp in the shade along the […] Stuff Been watching lots of sports on the tube and on TIVO this weekend. The BMW Championship, the US Open tennis, and lots of NFL games coming this afternoon on NFL package 🙂 I was glad to learn that Amy Novotny’s Nikon TC-E-20 (teleconverter) sold the first day it was listed. Both Fall […] Stuff It monsooned again here on Friday afternoon. Used Gear Page News After a month or so in the summer doldrums, sales on the Used Gear page have been red hot for the past month: Richard Gollar sold his Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS (the original IS model, the “old five”) in near-mint […] Stuff My work on my 2017 taxes is finished. All data and printouts are being sent to my accountant today. 🙂 Hooray! This blog post took 2 1/2 hours to create. Both Fall Fort DeSoto IPTs are wide open — scroll down for more info.

Great News on the Galapagos Front/Limit 12/Openings: 1 […] Stuff After stops at Publix and Walmart, we got to ILE right around noon. I spent most of the rest of the day relaxing.
