Beaching, I Just Love My Job!

With beaching, there come a responsibility to report the facts of the day.  Some days are full of reportable events, other days you must always be at the ready with camera in hand.

Believe it or not, this is a very difficult task.  You must take care of yourself first in order to report second.  Sun screen is priority one.  One must be well hydrated with your favorite beverage.  Snacks must be at the ready in case of a hunger attack.  You must not be distracted from your chore.

You must make sure that your phone is fully charged.  Some have an external battery supply to insure that they have enough power to make it through the day.  You need to be able to flick the lens to a higher power in an instant for those closeups.  For every good pictures you get, there are 10 to twenty that you missed or were out of focus.

I take my seat and wait for things to happen.  And indeed they do.  Here are some samples in that I was able to capture in just three hours before the rain ran us off:

This is diaper gangsta.  Pants on the floor, pants on the floorfloor

This fellow may have been packing a full load, or the diaper was on a high rise, or he was doing his best to imitate a gangsta from the daycare hood.  I'll never know.

These boys were at each other for quite a while.  No clear winner was declared.

Bird subject #1 with wrist tag(beer can)

Bird subject #2 with metal tag

Bird subject #3 with metal tag

Bird subject #4 with metal tag.

It was quite amusing to see all of these birds with their metal tags attached to their wrists.  I'm guessing the local game and fish department was responsible for the catch, tagging, and release.  I'm not sure what to do with the tag if I'm able to capture one.  Gotta be as much fun  as the tagging.


Hoping for a full week of surprises, stay tuned!
