Hi Greg;  A great experience holding a Falcon there on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific! And great pictures.  About 8 miles, as the falcon flies, from where I live!  (I guess with binoculars and a ladder I could see you.)  A good stiff ocean breeze that day judging by the wind sock.
     Just north at the Del Mar Polo Field, they used to launch hot air balloon rides. We took one in 1996. Del Mar Hot Air Balloon Tour | Balloon Rides Online.  Not up to a hang glider ride these days.  The Torrey Pines Golf Classic, usually in January features hang glider views.       RonB

Bobkitten.   To young and small to be a bobcat.  It still has some work to do on the Joe Cool factor 8)







Thanks for looking.

There is a method called "hyperfocal" that will get you the 'best' focus coverage at any F Stop.   It's a bit complex but it's very easy to do.   The main issue is when you look through the lens it looks out of focus but it works.  What you do on the lens is put the F Stop on the infinity symbol.   Everything will be in focus from the distance on the lens to infinity. 
Enclosed is a very detailed explanation.   <smile> Something I had to 'know' when I was in school all those many moons ago.

The mirrors our new to us LD were pretty tired (Notice the gaff tape lol). At a speed greater than 65 they would yield to the air pressure and get pushed in, turning lane changes into a two man operation for me and my wife. Let's just say it was a huge slice of hilarity with a topping of fear.  :D  :D  :o  :o

I found a pair of mirrors from a coach that burned down and got the pair for 50 bucks. They were a little singed but some elbow grease, paint, and new glass they were look9ng pretty good. I only painted them with white primer. Not sure when but paint is in the LDs future. Maybe not a complete repaint but definitely some cancer removal with touch up and new stripe colors. Anyway here are the pictures.

Epic fall trip. Can you guess how many National Parks we visited? 2 months and more than 5000 miles from Michigan and back thru Kentucky for GLLD. Rally before returning home.

We made several trips to find and photograph the Comet A-3.  We started in Eastern WA in Late September early pre-dawn.  Clear skies but no luck.  We later drove to the coast October 11 for three days mostly clear and dry and unusually warm for that time of year -No Luck!  Tuesday we had Clear skies on Vashon so we hung out with a camera and binoculars, we missed it again!  During our quests we did see a Great Aurora Borealis without needing a camera to see the colors!  Sorry no photos.

   I guess we will keep looking for what ever is out there!

I’ve tried for the past three weeks in New England, too much cloud cover or trees.

Finally had a clear night with few trees in North Platte, Nebraska last night, nothing, it’s too dim now for even binoculars.

Spent some time today with grandkids at the Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles.  Got to watch Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber take off for a short flight along the coast. Took some video but unable to post.

Thought you Jeep aficionados would like the Jeep photo.
