I've been working hard to capture a nice shot of these beautiful birds. Here are a few...

Graduation!

What a fun time. I went down a couple of days before graduation to spend time with Kate. One of the objectives was to write the final chapter on the Saab story. We did that on Thursday and started a new book called Toyota Corolla.

The car was a good deal, had a graduation discount and allowed us to leave the Saab behind. From Kate's perspective it was also red and had a sunroof. It was great to be able to start a new book.

Saturday was graduation. Bryan and Mary flew down too. More than six hundred graduates matriculated. It was awesome to be there.

Kate had quite a supporting cast. In order, clockwise from the far left: Bryan, Betty, Kate, Marla, Kirsten, Laurie, Grandma (Ellen), Bill, Mary, and Dad (behind the camera).

Congratulations Kate! You did a great job. You have become an amazing woman. I am so proud of the job you did. I am excited to watch the next chapter of your life.

Papa

Pat and Dick turn 80!

This movie was created using the photo album we printed for Mom and Dad after celebrating both their 80th birthdays. Enjoy!

Eagles!!

We took a road trip to Wabasha on Saturday in search of Baldy. Paydirt. We saw about 50 during the day. Here are a few examples.

El Dorado Maroma - Part 1 - The Birds

We had another great getaway last month to the Playa del Carmon area in Mexico. I have been so buried that I haven't had a chance to post anything about the trip and have not finished processing the pictures.

Here are a couple taken with a new camera lens. Lots of fun. Pelicans seem king of gawky almost prehistoric looking. At the same time, they make interesting subjects.

Here are a few. Click on an image to see the larger view.

Like I said, gawky!

Panorama Part 2

I was really hoping for a shot with a fresh snowfall. This is a place filler which I may replace with what I am really hoping for. The list of requirements is growing; fresh snow (with the powdered sugar look on the trees), blue sky, and above zero temperature (for me!). We'll see...
