Sandy noticed that Blondie had a brood. When I happen upon them they were down to 5. Meanwhile I saw 3 Night Herons nearby.
Blondie’s Ducklings
Arlene
Met Arlene for lunch today at Old Port Lobster Shack in Redwood City. The lobster rolls were great.
The day B4 July 4th eve…
July 2nd in other words. We all met at Jon & Kathy’s for an old fashioned BBQ party. As usual I spent too much time stuffing my face and laughing at high volumes and didn’t take any photos.
Mary Ann @ Kalesa
Mary Ann (Bunny) wuz in town so we met her at Kalesa in Milpitas for lunch. Now we just ate at Gerry’s on Friday so it’s been a Filipino food marathon. I have acquired a taste for pork sisig and refuse to go to a Filipino restaurant that doesn’t serve it.
Angry Burds
Those ding dang noisy burds. Night Heron territorial disputes and what I think is a female Robin obviously nagging her husband about a lack of high quality food. He searches frantically as the wife is yelling at him in the background.
It was probably a mother looking to feed her baby burd, but I like my story better.
Noah take III
Okay this is the 3rd attempt @ shooting Noah. Unfortunately I’m trying to set up my lighting for a very controlled situation and Noah’s position keeps changing therefore my lighting is all wrong. I’m learning a lot. My PC also had it’s MBR corrupted so I had to reload Win 7 and Photoshop is not operating very well.
Artificial Light
It’s all about the light. Unfortunately a lot of my photos are in very dim restaurant lighting. The onboard flash is not the best solution because of the direction & angle. So today I got an LED video light from an Ebay supplier. It has 160 white LEDs that are dimmable. Now natural light for me always looks better but sometimes there just isn’t enough of it. I will try this tomorrow when we go out for dinner in Union City… poor Sandy.
2nd Home
Yes another 24hrs in Honolulu. All this travel is killing me. Here’s some random stuff.
Blue Berry
I bought Sandy a blueberry plant and never took it out of the original pot thinking I would kill it. Today we got 1 whole blueberry. I am the man!
Mochi
While at the Tofu Festival yesterday I purchased a box of Harajuku Mochi Chocolat. This was based purely on its description–strawberry filled mochi with a dusting of chocolate. It looks like horse turds, but man this is a good find…
