Even with the lockdown still in place, you can still have a beautiful evening in San Diego. Just plan ahead and make reservations. Look around and be careful. A Mask is a good thing.

Brigantine October 22, 2020 at 12:04PM

Posted on October 22, 2020 by LensLord™
From their website.
"The Brigantine is more than just home to some of San Diego’s finest seafood. It’s a place where locals and visitors alike come to share a lively atmosphere and authentic sense of community. The Morton family opened the first Brigantine on Shelter Island in 1969, with a vision that embraced the beach town lifestyle, a dedication to flavorful food, and a passion for friendly service."

Mission bay, to downtown San Diego, from Fiesta Island. Today is game I don’t know of the ALCS and the San Diego Padres are in the playoffs, so that small cigar shaped flying thing in the middle is a blimp. I love my drone. I have always wanted a four hundred foot tripod. 😉

30 feet AGL October 11, 2020 at 10:00PM

Posted on October 11, 2020 by LensLord™
Fiesta Island. I have always wanted a giant tripod so that I could see over a few things. I do not have to go very high. Here, we are only 30 feet above ground level, but it is high enough to see over the grasses and brush and see Mission Bay and the Mission Bay bridge. I am going to love my drone.

USS Midway (CV-41) October 08, 2020 at 10:27PM

Posted on October 8, 2020 by LensLord™
USS Midway (CVB/CVA/CV-41) is an aircraft carrier, formerly of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class. Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal. She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum, in San Diego, California, and is the only remaining inactive U.S. aircraft carrier that is not an Essex-class aircraft carrier.

The Day I Voted October 08, 2020 at 05:00PM

Posted on October 8, 2020 by LensLord™
I was watching the sunset that brought me mixed feelings. Currently, the trumplandia was dark with virus, bigotry, fascism. And yet, high in the sky, the soon to set sun glowed with the promise of another day a rewritten future, a better day, and a better world.

Squirrel October 06, 2020 at 10:08PM

Posted on October 6, 2020 by LensLord™
This cute little rascal caused Calliope to yank me off my feet just like I was in a cartoon. … No squirrels were damaged, nor humans, nor dogs.

A friend said that she might have enjoyed seeing that. … So, I have come back and expanded on that event. Here is what I told her.

I think you might have enjoyed it quite a bit. And, there was an additional witness.

I was at the reflecting pool of the Botanical building in Balboa Park dressed in my black photographic uniform, with one of my cameras strapped to my body, with its strap looped through my arm and over my neck. The second camera was strapped tightly around the wrist of my right hand. Standing there, talking with a young man that had just sat on a bench next to where I was shooting. We were talking about photography.

Calliopes leash is a set of two leashes joined end to end to give her a little freedom to move around a little when we walk. The slack of most of the leash was wrapped around in my left hand to shorten her range and give me a little more control. But, my attention was not on Calliope and I had zero idea that the squirrel was even there.

She was sitting in front of me, at my feet, but things changed quickly. She moved very fast after that squirrel in a giant lunge at full speed. Snap! I felt the initial movement and instinctually tightened my arm to pull her back. But she is fast, and big, and the next thing I knew I was flying, suspended in the air like Superman. I was flying on my left side with my left arm outstretched, and my right arm cocked with its camera at my right side. While I was stretched out in the air, I consciously protected both cameras, also myself as I hit the ground fully across my entire body, twisting my hips a tiny amount to land on a little of my butt cushion instead of a bone. No damage was done to anything at all.

As I got up, the guy I was talking with said, “Wow! Did you ever play football? That was the most amazing fall I have ever seen.”
