Please forgive the misinformation about the flotilla parade time. In the past the newspaper printed it but they did not this time and I was just trying to recall from past experience. At least my time mentioned was early and anyone there might have seen that they had not started yet, but that they were preparing to. Also - I hope interested parties made it on Saturday - it was a beautiful day for photography there and I got number of nice images and noticed many people with cameras, although…

I will have faith in those who are much more skilled in the techno world and am very appreciative of their efforts.... Thanks... MCB

Thought I had included the time for the boat parade. It starts about 10:00 AM. If you are in the area you can tell when it starts because the lead boat is usually a large tug which gives quite a few steam whistles as the flotilla starts. I have been watching this event for about five or six years and it looks great on a camcorder also if you happen to have one - of course a lot of the newer digital cameras have the movie feature included. Three years ago this group voted to have Ganges be the… Continue

Just a reminder for a Great Photo Op this weekend. It is the annual "Work Boat Festival" with over 60 boats of that class. On Saturday many of them will be tied up to the local docks and have "Open House" from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM and they are very colorful, interesting and photographable. At the same time most of the boats in the harbor will be "at their best" and there is a festive air - last year a local crab boat was having a great time selling crab..On Sunday, as their finale - they form a… Continue

Thank you Adrian for the quick response - I didn't thnk to look at the forum because I didn't think tt was a Forum issue, but next time I'll look both places. It was gratifiying to see that the quiestioin gave others a chance to add their comments. I would think some kind of "scheule" set up mentioned by Ernie might be appropriate - especially as we will be having more activities.

Wondering if it would be possible for a reminder to be posted (as a blog perhaps) to which week we should be submitting images to Adrian for the Coffee company. I was in there today and was disappointed (of course) because I had nothing showing. Maybe I'm the only one who missed out, but a little nudge would sure help - until I (we) get used to it.

"Earth From Above" is the result of the aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's five-year airborne odyssey across six continents. It's a spectacular presentation of large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes. Every stunning aerial photograph tells a story about our changing planet. I did see some photos which I would have cropped. Count the number of places which you have visited.
