The Streak Continues: 319<\/h3>\n

I enjoyed a fine early morning of bird photography yesterday at DeSoto. It featured sun in the east and dark blue\/black storm clouds in the west. I made lots of bird-scapes with both the 24-70 and the 70-200. Next was lunch and the 2 1\/2 hour drive home. Apologies to those who are still waiting on replies to their e-mails or to having their new gear listed. I hope to finish up the last edit of the DPP 4.0 RAW Conversion Guide this morning and speak with Arash this afternoon. Then it will be time to catch up on e-mails. This blog post, the 319th in a row, took me about 3 1\/2 hours to prepare. It was published just after 7:00am from my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL. <\/p>\n
