Valentines weekend is always our getaway weekend. This year, we got away to Bandon, Oregon. Then we wanted to get away from the crappy weather! We had a few windows of opportunity to shoot pics but overall the light was just 'so-so'. Add to that, my lack of trust in my E-500 body since it's tragic fall on Christmas Eve and the result is disappointing pictures. It just doesn't seem to focus like it did before it was knocked over, kind of focuses low and to the right (shooting sportspeople know that lingo!). Anyone have a new Olympus E3 they'd like to donate to the cause, feel free to drop me an email!
We did however get a few shots worthy of posting!
With the stormy weather kicking up some very large waves, a group of twenty or so Brown Pelicans decided the bay at Bandon was good place to chill out for a spell!
We took some time satruday and drove to Coos Bay to check out a favorite bird road and got a few shots of a Great Blue Heron, a Belted Kingfisher and (my friend Rebecca's spirit bird) a Great Egret.
Next time I think I'll call Rebecca and see if she can get the Egrets to not be so damn skittish! They DO NOT like to sit for a portrait!
