Whale watching near Sayulita, Mexico
We went on an “eco-discovery/snorkeling experience” with Sayulita enTOURage this morning. We saw whales, but the conditions weren’t great for them. We didn’t get anything like the photos or videos on their website (no cresting or lobtailing), but it was still fun to see whales in the wild for the first time.
Trinity United Methodist Church (Denver, Colorado)
Today was our first day in Mexico (and my kids’ first day ever in Mexico). But I’m too tired to process any photos from today. Instead, here is a photo I processed in LAX today. This was just before the last time I left for Mexico from Colorado. I was waiting for the airport shuttle outside my hotel when I took this, and the sunrise looked pretty good behind this church.
Eleven years ago this happened. Now she is about to head off to college. Why hasn’t anyone invented a time machine yet?
Tommy Hanson of the Atlanta Braves (1986 – 2015)
Tommy Hanson died earlier this week at the age of 29. I saw him pitch in Yankee Stadium in 2012. The day was a historic one as nine home runs were hit, the most ever in a single game at new Yankee Stadium. Hanson got the win on that day, as most of the home runs were hit by the Braves. He threw five innings, giving up four, solo home runs. The Braves won 10-5.
The camera I use, with my favorite lens, has been reduced in price again. You can now pick up a Nikon D750 FX-format DSLR camera w/ 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S Nikkor lens for $1,200 less than it cost me when I purchased it.
