Sandy gave me a membership to the SF Zoo for Christmas, so we finally made the trip out.

Hummer Shoot
I shoot whatever is in my backyard and lately that has been the Hummingburds.
I don’t always get it right as sometimes I catch them in these awkward positions or angles.
I eventually get something though.
Hummer Portrait
Humphrey allowed me to get close enough to shoot this.
Cloud Egg Brunch
Edible Insects
I watched a interesting episode of Nova and they made a compelling argument for eating insects, mainly good gut bacteria. On the environmental side they make a much smaller footprint. Therefore I decided to give it a try by starting easy… ground crickets in a smoothie. Sandy said if I start chirping at night she will pull the plug on this 💩.
MLK sunrise
Woke up too late so I ran out to the abandoned Raiders HQ and aimed my camera through the fence.
Woodrow Woodpecker
While grilling some burd I heard a woodpecker smacking a tree. I ran and grabbed my camera.
Lone Cypress
Worked in Monterey again so I checked out the famous lone cypress tree.
Kissing Rock
Work brought me to Monterey so I visited Kissing Rock.
Hummer Truce
The hummingburds are very territorial and are constantly chasing each other away from the feeder. Today we witnessed an unusual sight… a truce.
