It’s been a while but I have finally been able to get back out shooting. The photo trips this year have been tough as I have had quite a bit of knee pain all year. I was finally able to have my knee operated on and received a partial knee replacement on August 10th. I was able to get out with short trips with my first of five to Circle B on August 28th. It was a very short trip as the knee was not quite ready. It was also short because, while we had received quite a bit of rain, the resurrection ferns on the oaks were still brown.
I went out again on September 4th and was able to make it to the pier, but really did not take many photos.
But we kept pushing and went out again on September 6th.
We went back on the 12th but it was a bit disappointing. Some of the trails are still closed, but I was able to take a few water reflection shots.
But the next trip on the 18th would be a lucky day. While many times we have seen the osprey dive into the water in the hopes of grabbing a fish, they are typically quite a distance away. But on this day, we had a couple of opportunities to capture them much closer.
Looking forward to additional outings.
