    Yosemite is on Fire Now, The Marsh is on Fire; And The Birds have flown the coop.

    However Mrs. Lebec has this thing about Snakes; especially Rattlesnakes. I don’t mind them because I keep my eyes peeled and when I’m in their habitat I look for them to avoid them. But right now they are suffering badly as they only can manage a slow retreat

    Small Birds of the Slough.

    If it’s not smoky tomorrow I plan on riding my scooter the 1 mile to the Ranch gate hopefully getting some unique shots, hopefully a good one of the illusive female Red Tailed Hawk. Then I will start the cataloging.

    A SeaLion, SeaGull and Salmon

    The Sun was white and bright I considered darkening it just a taste but decided against it because the blue of the water was a perfect match to the actual conditions.

  • Fire and Smoke.

    Fire and Smoke.

    At any rate the smoke has most of us with weeping eyes, a cough and other allergy type problems. The smoke is not bad tonight but that is a live for the moment issue

  • My Lens Fell Apart; It’s off to be repaired.

    My Lens Fell Apart; It’s off to be repaired.

    If it still has focusing issues I will not be able to place the quality of my time, effort and not to mention photographs in jeopardy it’s just too important to me.

    Experimenting With Black Backgrounds

    By this picture I cannot tell what species it is and that is incredibly important in photography.

  • The Canadians Have Returned for the 4th of July.

    The Canadians Have Returned for the 4th of July.

    They are good images but I may scan through them and delete 150 of them, too many look alike. I enjoy editing, every one I edit is a learning experience; often I will edit bad photos just to see what I can do with it. It’s good practice.

  • HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

    HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

    I missed writing the blog again yesterday, we had a bunch of people slated to come by on the 4th for Fish Tacos. Everyone canceled due to testing positive with C-19; a Son-in-law is in bed very ill.

  • The SeaGulls have Left the Slough; Another Rhodes Scholar was Gored by a Buffalo.

    The SeaGulls have Left the Slough; Another Rhodes Scholar was Gored by a Buffalo.

    I am curious to what has run the SeaGulls off the slough; I’m most likely concerned for no reason. It may be as simple as the Gulls migrated to the coast or to San Francisco Bay following the Sea Lions and they will return.

  • California Quail and the Raptors.

    California Quail and the Raptors.

    I witnessed a large (female) Red Tail dive after a Rabbit within 30 feet of me. The raptor misjudged, passed over the Rabbit and smacked into a wood fence. Dazed he backed up and staggered around long enough for the Rabbits to race under the fence and back to their den.
