As noted previously, I will be without any internet access until 12 NOV. When I do get online again my first priorities will be taking care of IPT and Used Photo Gear business. Jim and Jen are at the office most days to help you with your mail order needs and Instructional Photo-Tour sign-ups. I still need folks for San Diego, Japan, Galapagos, the Palouse, and the Bear Boat (Grizzly Cubs) trips. Among others \ud83d\ude42 Please e-mail for couples and discount info for all of the above.

That leaves 13 or 14 more to do to keep the streak alive until I am back home. After that, my goal is to run the streak up with a new blog post every day for the rest of my life, or at least until I am unable to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the ride.  <\/p>\n<h3>Huge Thanks to All<\/h3>\n<p>Huge thanks to all for realizing the monumental amount of work that I have done to keep the current streak alive. And huge thanks for visiting the blog every day as always. Blog readership is actually up a bit over the past few weeks. Lastly, huge thanks for continuing to use my B&#038;H affiliate links for your major new gear purchases.  As noted here previously, my two EOS 5D Mark IV bodies have become my everyday bird photography camera bodies. I go to the 1DX Mark II only in high ISO or pure flight situations. <\/p>\n<h3>Insanity?<\/h3>\n<p>I have decided to live life to the fullest and extend my Falklands land-based visit by one week in order to get a crack at the albatross and rockhopper chicks on Saunders and Bleaker. I should be back in Orlando late on X-mas day. I would like to wish you and yours a wondrous holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuff <\/p>\n<p> I hope that you are well.
