The last few days I've had nothing but George Michael on my mind. Then this morning I found out he spent his last Christmas last night. Today I celebrate his life.
On a plane to Puerto Rico, then a ship to the southern Caribbean islands...pics to follow in a couple of weeks. Hopefully some underwater ones.
Sorry it's taking so long...after I got back from my trip, I've been so tired. Turns out I have severe hypertension to go with my diabetic body. Things are getting better though I think.
Day 2
We ascended cliffs with no cover. It was very hot. This inlet was roaring with large sea birds flying all around. Sea lions would climb up the cliff rocks

Been waiting for those pictures forever. Good to see you finally posted them.
So the previous blog was from the day we landed. This is Day 1 of actually going out and touring the island. Technically it's the third day of the trip as on the first day, we flew in to Ecuador and spent the night there. The second day, what I am calling day 0, is when we flew to the Galapagos and relaxed a day....

Sounds awesome!!
Well I'm back, it was a rough trip but it kicked my ass in a good way. I felt a bit energized from it. Anywhoo, here are the pics...I haven't decided what to do with the few vids yet.
Day 0, driving in the taxi from the airport into the Isle...I can see many storms going on in the distance.

Wow! I really need to go there then. Gotta buy a decent camera first though. Nice pics!
I've been so busy at work, I've lost the passion to edit photos but I'm hoping this will do something. I bought more camera accessories, a new underwater camera and I'm thinking-thinking-thinking of buying a GoPro Hero4.
I'll be back in May. Until then...

It'll be a trip of a lifetime, hopefully I bring back some good video and pics. @babal :D
I got a chance to hit up the Huntington Library, half immaculately manicured garden, half art/science/history museum.
I walked maybe one quarter of it. Part one of this 3-parter will be just the paintings. I'm trying this new thing where I ignore the frames because it's hard to keep both them and the painting in focus (they're shiny because their gilded and they're more than...

That red-head is hot. (The chick with her hand out).
Basically there's one person who seems to be consistently looking at my blogs, one super-exciting someone ;), and so now I'm in to making blog posts.
This is the Redondo Beach Pier, my first visit in years...it burned down back in the 90s and a lot of what I remember as a kid has changed. But it looks terrific. And I love water fowl.

For all of these pics, they turned out well but the SG preview makes them all look fuzzy and far away. Click for a sharp image. Careful with the snake pic, it jumps right out at ya.

Awesome!!
I don't have much to say, I've been traveling a lot, working a lot, and I've started taking pics again. I'm in the market for a new camera...thinking about a Lumix.
Anywhoo, I originally had all of the pics in a certain order but the new SG insists on making everything difficult so here you go, a nice, illogical jumble with none of my comments....
