What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

I spent all morning getting the information needed for the National Trust memberships together for the sold out UK Puffins and Gannets IPT; the task was finished just before lunch. Now I need to get the passes. That on Monday. <\/p>\n

I went to granddaughter Maya’s dance recital in the afternoon and created 1117 images with the hand held 5D Mark III\/70-200mm f\/2.8L IS combo. I have been going every year for quite awhile. For some reason on the way over today I realized that when I first started going that Mayas was one of the tiny tot dancers. Today she has been transformed into a beautiful young lady. And she is quite an excellent dancer as well. Kudos also to Maya’s Dad, my son-in-law, Erik Egensteiner (who is married to my older daughter Jennifer, the executive director of BIRDS AS ART). As he has been doing for more than a few year’s Erik is one of the Dancing Dad’s. I will share an image or three with y’all here soon. <\/p>\n

This blog post took about an hour to prepare and will be published at 5:00am on the early morning of Sunday, June 14. Hey, I almost forgot; happy birthday to me: 69 :). <\/p>\n
