Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
In Thursday's post documenting Wednesday's Erculean photography effort, I posted a few photos snapped with my Nikon P900 camera. I don't use the camera as much primarily because most of my subjects are fairly close. Also, because I'm sitting on a chair on my patio, the weight of the equipment isn't a concern. Still, I...

Just a quick post because I'm tired and need to get up early . . . I've been driving by this car for a few years now. Sometimes I notice it, often, I don't. When I notice it, I'm always too far along to stop, and I promise myself "next time!" Well, the next time... Continue Reading →
"J" story writing looms in my near future even as the country seems to be coming apart at the seams and our Baby President acts like the dicktator of a banana republic (with the unquestioning support of Republicans and supporters who seemingly have no clue what the word "patriot" means). Against that backdrop, I understand... Continue Reading →
As the title implies, there's an American Kestrel nearby. I often drive past it because I don't have the time to stop, but on two occasions, I stopped the car and got out, Camera in hand. The first time, he took off before I even had the chance to sneak up close . . .... Continue Reading →
On May 1st the shrubs and a couple of trees got a much-needed trimming. This Magnolia tree — planted too close to the house — got a pretty good trim . . . I noticed something after the landscapers left . . . For them not interested in reading, you can go directly to the... Continue Reading →
On the 14th of April, I stood in the cold wind in the middle of a yard for about twenty minutes shooting photos and videos of an Osprey intent on doing pretty much little beyond perching on a tree limb and occasionally vocalizing. You can click on these photos for a larger version but I... Continue Reading →
I figure I would post a few photos along with a quick update. What better photos than them prodigious crapping machines known as Canada Geese? On nearly-still water with the dawn breaking behind them, they made for interesting subjects. Interesting to me, at least. Once again, what you see are as large as I'm presenting...

This is primarily about photography. Also, many photos are full-size and will load slow. Did you read that? It's a warning that it could load slow. So, don't tell me about it; I already know. If you're not interested about photography, watch this video and then go look elsewhere for something that interests you more. ... Continue Reading →
A comment by OneOwner on my last post is responsible for this post. I started answering his comment and before I knew it, I was at 1,000 words worth of answer and I wasn't done . . . so, this is the resultant post. See what you get if you interact with me? . .... Continue Reading →
This is primarily about photography and a camera (Nikon P1000) and post-processing. There are photos but if you're not interested, watch this video and then go look elsewhere for something that interests you more. https://youtu.be/2oANV6SQhwI Clicking on an image below will open the image in a new window. The image will have a maximum dimension... Continue Reading →

If you read a post of mine and it looks like I'm talking about photos that are not there, it probably means WordPress is messing with me again and wiped my links. In that case, let me know. In any case, the linked SmugMug Gallery will have all the photos. For them not interested in... Continue Reading →
So, I'm practicing shooting birds . . . er . . . photographing birds. I'm looking forward to capturing . . . er . . . photographing Red-tailed Hawks again, but, the thing is, I'm out of practice photographing birds. I mean, I'm out of practice (I'm going to use "shooting" but read "photographing") shooting... Continue Reading →
While various parts of the Big Island have been affected by the hurricane (flooding), here in Kona it's been mostly a non-event. FYI, I'm writing this a number of hours before it goes live. There were some unusually higher waves in the bay and that drew some people just because it was different. Even then,... Continue Reading →
Note: just to be clear, the title is a rhetorical question; I'm not asking anyone to answer it. I'm actually asking myself and sorting out the answer in the writing below. Lectorem monuit est: while this might be of passing interest to "wannabe photographers" such as myself, this won't have much appeal to either amateur... Continue Reading →
