Happy Friday everyone. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

I was planning on posting photos from this months camera club light painting photo shoot on Tuesday. Unfortunately my ticker had other ideas and I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital with an irregular heartbeat. Thankfully the problem is not serious or life threatening and is under control with the help of meds and I'm now back to my usual abnormal self. Hope everyone else is feeling well and healthy.

Since I missed out on the light painting I went to Santee Lakes yesterday morning and got some shots of a Snowy Egret catching breakfast. It was so overjoyed with it's catch it started doing the happy dance.

When I was young my dad would often say save a little for a rainy day. So following my dads advice I saved photos taken months ago for a time I would need them for FNP. Funny thing is I expected that rainy day would come during the winter and not in the middle of summer. Not that I'm complaining mind you. We need all the rain we can get and it's a nice break from the excessive heat we've had for the last week.

I've always wanted to go on an African safari. Not sure if that will ever happen so until then I make due with the San Diego Zoo and SDZ Safari Park. Join me on a virtual safari.

A little change of pace from the usual animals, bugs or flowers I normally post.
These were shot a few years ago at a couple of camera club workshops on black light and table top photography. For those that may be wondering about all the bubbles on the flower, it's submerged in water mixed with club soda.

It's hard to believe it's been a year since I took over as host of FNP. Time sure does fly. My thanks to everyone for all the wonderful photos, memes, music and conversation you've contributed through the year and I'm looking forward to more in the coming year. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm going to tip back a cold one and celebrate. Cheers everyone.

One of the nice things about photographing at the zoo, when the animals are being camera shy the plants and flowers never are.

Happy Friday everyone. As always, post any photos you like.

On Tuesday the camera club I'm in had it's monthly outing at the San Diego Automotive Museum. I think they should change their name to San Diego Automotive and Motorcycle Museum since they have more motorcycles on display than automobiles.
As automobiles go, I like our past and I like our present. Can't say I like our future.

Everybody have a great weekend, stay cool in this heat and drive safe.

I was a little under the weather this week so I didn't get out with the camera, but I do have some more shots of my tiny friends from the last time I was out with the macro lens a few weeks ago.

Happy Friday everyone. As always, post any photos you like.

On Monday the bird watching group I'm in had it's monthly outing at Mission Trails Regional Park. I think somebody forgot to let the birds know we were going to be there because we didn't see that many birds this month and most of what we did see was not in camera range. Oh well. Some days you bite the bear and some days the bear bites you. At least a few other critters were good enough stop by and say hi.

Here's some of the little critters I was able to find while looking through the leaves during a walk through the Balboa Park rose garden last week.
