It is sooo hard being Mark. I am stuck in the dark ages of digital photography. My main cameras are point and shoot cameras with barely 18 Megapixels. The main camera is a Nikon P900 which has a maximum zoom of 83x. The bigger heavier camera is the Nikon P1000 with a 125 zoom. The […]

It is the middle of November and the dock at Moody Point has been pulled for the winter. So that is the end of Kayaking from here because the shoreline has environmentally sensitive plants and we are not allowed to launch from shore. I documented the ten fall Kayaking trips to Shackford Point. It was

We have gotten a start on the fall yard work. I thought we finally dealt with the leaves that were down. I was wrong as the oak tree took another dump on me. I think a strong North wind would move the leaves for me but we will get around to it later today and

Still lagging behind on yard work. The dock is still in the water and it is theoretically possible to continue kayaking.

I kind of let things get away from me again. I need to be more disciplined in freezing content and getting the ink on the paper so to speak. I had intended to get a blog out earlier but kept waiting for just the right pictures. I was planning to include some more kayaking adventures

We failed in our last attempt to photograph the Belted Kingfisher and Pileated Woodpecker. So Meg and Mark went out with their good cameras and no dog to try and get some decent pictures. It was a three hour round trip float along the Lamprey River from the Moody Point Dock all the way to

We got some feedback on the last blog that it was hard to see the belted kingfisher in the picture. We didn’t get any good pictures of that bird. They seem to be pretty shy. So the only thing to do was to go back out and get new pictures of a belted kingfisher and

Feast or famine, last month I did five blogs but this month it looks like I will barely squeeze out two. It wasn’t for lack of content as we have had a pretty good month and I have a good start on the next blog. I just didn’t get it done. Birds MISC…………. Kayak Adventure
