Dog Surfing 2019

I decided to checkout the Dog Surfing Competition in Pacifica after hearing about for years. I couldn’t stay long and they were running late. So not much in the way of surfing pix. There was so much moisture in the air I had to wipe off the front of my lens every 10 seconds or …

Whale’s Tale

I just spent 4 hrs today trying to get a photo of the female Humpback Whale circling in the Alameda lagoon. She would surface every few mins but only show her upper fin. It was quite the circus atmosphere. I got distracted and shot all sorts of other things.

Ugly Ducklings

Blondie’s ducklings are at that awkward stage, in between fluff & feathers.
