Pat Page and I are going to the raptor center in Duncan after the coffee at Harbor House tomorrow morning. Past efforts to organize a regularly scheduled trip there were not successful but Pat and I decided we wanted to do it NOW so anyone that would like to come along is surely invited. It involves ferry fare and the admiission fee for the Park ($14.00). We are planning to take the 11:20 or 12:25 ferry from Vesuvius and I am  taking my larger car and will have two extra seats if…

Somehow the information that the Country Grocer Hanging schedule lasts until 9:00 PM on the last day of the month Is printed in the right hand column of these  Blogs. I don't know how that got printed  because every time we hang it is normally for one month and on the last day of the month we take the exhibit down at 7:00 PM and I would ask that whoever prints the schedules on the right side of this page to change the scheduling for that showing to that the scheduling for hanging is from 7…

The worlds largest three masted Mega Sailing Yacht - the Athena - is anchored in the outer Ganges harbor. It is adjacent to the yacht club - and also to my house. It is 295 ft. long and is very photogenic.

Don't know when it will leave but it would probably be great for night shots and is great for daylight also. 

Bob would love to shoot it!

Avril Kirby-2 images

An additional thank you to…

I have not received any additional requests to participate at GVM for July's showing so I am now Requesting that some of our Backup artists participate.  To get as much participation as possible I am asking that each person I contact commit to one or two images each and I will respond to them as to how many I would like from each one when tihs is done. Hopefully I will be able to post the names of the respondents and and their commitment before the night is over.

Keep in mind that…

Chris Dixon has signed on to provide one image for the July GVM Deli show and we need and we need at lest five more - we have been hanging eight medium sized images - so please let me know in the next few days.

If I can find this funny when I have at least 50,000 images on my computer and hard drive, I'm assuming you all will, too.
