1. St Tropez last night

2. I always enjoy when you can’t tell where the water ends and the sky begins

3. A pretty neat sailboat in town for the regatta.  No yachts in town, just sailboats

I love going down to the docks and see the boats, especially working boats, whenever we visit Coastal towns.

The guys/gals working the boats that I’ve encountered here in St Tropez have always been really nice and open to talking about the boats.  It’s pretty cool because I know next to nothing about them

A few from our recent trip.  We visited a few theme parks, a cave and a zoo and it was hard getting some  photos (24-105 lens is what I took with me).  

 

Hard getting this leopard.  She wouldn't come out but for a brief moment, and I couldn't stay there the entire day:

My better half coming down the drop; she's in the front row.   She loves coasters, so this face she is making is hilarious

And a moment later:

She and my daughter rode a log flume ride a day later; I caught the entire sequence from the top to the bottom, but I liked this one

Marvel Cave, Missouri.  I only took a few photos; I was more interested in the actual hike.  Looking up after the inital hike down, with sunlight streaming in through a sinkhole:

Thought we were looking at a photo album of places y’all banged. Nice landscapes.

Walked around the Manassas battlefield this afternoon. Twas but 103 degrees but I did take a while to imagine the short-range artillery battle in July ‘61 at first Bull Run where they wailed on each other from a mere 300 yards. One can imagine the blood soaked earth.

I had some meetings in southern British Columbia in Fernie/Sparwood this week.  I flew into Calgary and drove through Banff National Park and Kootenay National Park and did some hiking along the way.  The pics below are from Johnston Canyon in Banff and Marble Canyon and Numa Falls in Kootenay.

Oops how’d that get in there

The question is…..how many times did you “get in there”?

All my life we had a Lone Star bottle opener and I had never had a Lone Star. In Houston for the Dynamos v St Louis MLS game, and I’ve now had Lone Star. It’s good

I like the convenience of having pictures on my phone.  I am not a tech geek so I am probably doing a lot of things wrong or there is an easier way but it is something that I know and am comfortable with.

I travel a lot domestically and internationally therefore I have a lot of opportunities for some really cool photos.  I actually use the photos on my phone as a sort of a diary of my travels for both work and play.  Though I get some decent photos (many shared on here) with my I-Phone 11, there are times where I would like to zoom in and bring some distant siting into a closer view.  I am really not that interested in purchasing a camera to solve the problem but would rather buy some type of attachment or some sort of Bluetooth gadget that I could zoom in with and have the image on my phone/I-pad to take the picture.

Any of you Surlyites out there have any suggestions or recommendations?

Smartphone camera lens extensions exist, but I don’t know if any of them are good. That is the only way without buying either a camera or upgrading your phone to a newer model with better cameras (iPhone Pro models have a 5x optical zoom now).

Example:

https://www.sandmarc.com/products/telephoto-lens-iphone-11

I would say get one of those "bridge cameras." All in one type with huge short to tele range over a small sensor. Very popular with birders that aren't great photographers, but they can get some really nice pics. Or if you want to shoot mostly wide to normal landscape and street type stuff get a compact digital. They seem to be making a bit of a comeback.

Not the greatest resolution photo, but I still love it. I took my daughters on a "tour" of the bioluminescent waters in Cocoa Beach, FL last week. In this picture, my youngest has a gaff in the water to activate the bioluminescence while we're moving.

This was what it looked like while rowing the gaff. It was such a fun experience. Seeing a dolphin swim in front of the boat with the bioluminescence outlining nearly it's whole body was amazing. 

 

 

 

  After all the looking, thinking, planning, and waiting our plan is beginning to shape up.  My key chain serves as my daily reminder of what I've been working for.
