It’s that time of the year again. The Egrets are here.
Sadly there were 2 youngsters on the ground. They probably fell out of the nest or got pushed out. I don’t think they’ll last very long. They were shaking like Chihuahuas.
Egret Island 2012
Brave
I watched this billboard go up on the hangar at Oakland International over the weeks and wanted to shoot it. So here we go…
Blue Skies
The sky was such a pretty blue the other day I had to pull over and capture it.
Incontinent
Having decided to replace our refrigerator, we thought we’d give the Koreans a try as I’ve heard good things about them. Shortly after it was installed, it I heard Sandy scream from the kitchen. Apparently the water dispenser shot a stream of water at her. We cleaned it up but sure enough “Sammy” has continued to dispense about a quart of water a day. We have a service call in place. Meanwhile I have connected a tubing on the dispenser leading to a bucket to catch all the run off. We call it a catheter.
Balmy Alley
We did a quick trip into the city to check out Balmy Alley for a future photoshoot. Of course it was feeding time so we stepped into The Local Mission Eatery I had the Smoked Salmon Hash and Sandy dined on the Squash Benedict I believe.
Zeni
Harpo Harrigan
Tonight our neighbors Paul & Brenda invited us over for dinner. After an incredible halibut meal, I decided to shoot Brenda with her harp.
Baby Hummer
Sandy quietly called me to the upstairs window to view what she called a baby hummingbird. I said no way it’s an adult… 2 seconds later the mother flies over to feed it. These are shot through a dirty window so the quality reflects this.
Mole Removal
Noticed a tunnel network as I was planting the new flowers. Now some of the flowers have disappeared, this is an act of war. Did some research and it has to be a gopher, uh soon to be dead gopher. 6/12/12 – I won, but I’ll refrain from showing the corpse. If there are any other gophers out there reading this… Be afraid.
Work
We had a demo at the Westin Hotel near SFO so I grabbed a few shots. Of course I really wanted to shoot Arlene. Unfortunately I left my softbox bracket at home so the speedlite without a modifier produced some very hardlight.
