Friday Night Photos Feathered Friends Edition
Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 09/25/2026 - 5:00pmHappy Friday everyone. Well, we made it through another week of endless wars, rising inflation, a collapsing economy, and a country on the brink of financial disaster. Not to mention an environment that's slowly burning up the planet. As bad as it is, it's not all doom and gloom 24/7. Tell us what you did this week to put a smile on your face and forget about the doom and gloom. My go to is to get out with the camera and take photos, What's yours?
After photography, watching or listening to sports is another way I tune out the doom and gloom. At the top of the list is baseball. I'm a real happy camper. The San Diego Padres qualified for the post season with their win last night. Who and where they play in the opening round of the playoffs will be determined over the last three days of the regular season. Whether they play at home or on the road, I'm just happy they will be playing in the post season
Earlier this month the camera club went to La Jolla Cove for our monthly outing. Each month we have a photo challenge based on the location of where we are shooting. Since La Jolla Cove tends to have a lot of sea and shore birds, this months photo challenge was birds. The Blue-footed Booby is a rare visitor. Normally they are not found this far north, but because of the expanding warming ocean temps in the Pacific due to the developing El Niño, the Booby's food source has moved north with the expanding temps and the Booby's have moved north with them. There have been sightings from San Diego to as far north as the Port of Los Angeles.
