Jeff: I did not make it to Joshua Tree; will have to make a special day trip when it's not so hot. I do have a bunch of local PS shots to post for advice but for now I need to get some work done. I'll be back later. And I'm looking forward to trying the monopod. I forgot to show you my tripod.

a bump for Ginger
since you missed this

Thanks, Angelo, for bumping it to me, I mean.

And thanks for sharing Ernie. I would ask you to send him, but he is living too good where he is.

Cool bird!

YOu got the shots. Good action. I assume that you all stock the waters, even if the Pacific, for fish for Ernie, so he does not have to dive in vain.

Wish I could get to the Joshua tree.

Thanks for the bird shots. Too bad Ernie has not had chicks. Does he have a "partner"?

Yeah, but she was lazy and uninterested, relaxing in the shade of a nearby oak tree.

Hey Angelo,

Why thank you. There never can be too many egret shots. On the last shot are you sure it was lunch. He could have been going after a golf ball.

With the level of expertise of the golfers I've seen there I wouldn't doubt it however in this case the golf ball was wiggling in Ernie's beak just before he gulped it down. (sorry I missed that shot!)

Yeah, I wouldn't mind living on a golf course either either that, or come back as a cat, sit in the window and nap all day...
