Another Attempt to Photograph the Comet

Went out tonight in another attempt to photograph the comet. Beautiful clear skies, except on the horizon right below the Big Dipper. I stayed out hoping the the clouds would part, for even, an instant. They didn't and so looking around I took a few night shots.

The day was hot and muggy, so we started by going to the corner lemonade stand for a drink and a cookie.

Later, we ran into town pick up a few item. We were able to get in and out pretty quickly for a Saturday. the beach traffic had not yet fully developed for the day.

Tripping on a Hike

Today, I mostly worked on the computer and took some pictures, experimenting with new filters.

I did go to Roma Point, to take a hike, was told there may be seals, there weren't. Very few birds. also.

Though, on the hike out, I was distracted by three women coming off a side path, and unceremoniously tripped at their feet. There was a root sticking up which I caught my foot on. Fortunately, I was cradling my camera and it was fully protected. I was also able to swing my camera bag, so that it landed on me. Thank You, Andy, my former racing coach when I was skiing, he taught me to fall. This has saved me from injury many times, as he made it instinctual. So, other then, a scrap on my arm and knee, as well as, feeling like a klutz, I was able to continue on my trek

Grilled a nice piece of Salmon for dinner with some fresh corn-on-the-cob, delicious.

Last night I was out at the pond attempting to photograph the comet and again the clouds were very uncooperative. Will be back out again tonight.
