Gone to See Florida Fall 2014 Road Trip. Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Great Blue Heron appearing to walk on water as it comes in for a landing along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive. I’ve also included slide shows with some of the other birds present that day: Anhinga, Black Vulture, Double-breasted Cormorant, Great Egret, Hawk, Osprey (with a fish), Tricolored Heron, and Turkey Vulture. Note that some of the Vulture images are graphic.

Gone to See Cuba 2011 People to People Cultural Exchange. Day 6 of a Street Photography Workshop led by Steve Simon.
I spent some of the day using the Astro tripod head to do 360 degree images and 360 degree time-lapse videos. First stop was the Plaza de San Francisco (Saint Francis of Assisi). Later we did a walk along the Malecón (Avenida de Maceo) — actually across the street from the seawall since there were very large waves crashing against the seawall. Here I did a straight time-lapse video of the traffic and waves. At one point a woman walking along the seawall decides that the waves are too big and crosses the avenue.

Gingerbread Loaf Recipe: Sprouted Wheat Flour (3 cups); Rolled Oatmeal (1 cup); Flax Seed (1/4 cup); Ginger Powder (1 tbs); Crystallized Ginger (1 tbs); Cinnamon Powder (1 tbs); Clove Powder (1 tsp); Nutmeg Powder (1 tsp); dry milk (1/4 cup); salt (1 tsp); egg (1 large); walnut oil (2 tbs); water (1 cup); Maple syrup (1/3 cup). Above ingredients added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (2 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Three hours later, I removed the loaf of bread. It rose to within 2 inches from the top of the pan — and the house smelled of gingerbread. I only let it cool a few minutes before slicing a piece. It was good, but next time I will add even more ginger.
I set up a Garmin VIRB-360 camera to record the bread making process for a time-lapse video. Three versions, a 360 degree panorama, a little planet and a tunnel view. The tunnel view makes my waist look 3 times as large.
