Must be Spring Break

Idaho,

With that many coming to the convention, you'd think there would be a couple dance floors!!!!!!

I bet a few thousand crashed the party... I just know there weren't that many invitations sent out.

The bummer about that dance was that nobody was wearing name tags.

Name tags probably don't go well with tuxedos. (especially if they were printed in Comic Sans)

Well yeah, but Times Roman would be appropriate wouldn't it?

The nest was in the trunk of a palm tree.

Geo, these are precious. How close to the subject matter were you? Did you have a high power zoom lens?

Two Views of Playa los muertos, Puerto Vallarta

I used a AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED with the Nikon D 300 camera.

I was standing about 6 feet away from the nest. The first bird on the rope was a lucky accident. The momma hummer flew from the nest to my left and stopped to hover. I was able to swing the camera to the hummer but she flew away before I could pull the trigger. Camera was hand held and DW was standing on my right and she told me to move the lens about a foot more to the left and there was the bird that I luckily captured.

Oh, I just love the baby birds, so precious!

Beautiful, Steve. Reminds me of pointillism--maybe a Seurat.

Thanks. There are some photos, this being an example, where I like to apply this brush stroke effect. FYI - here is the original photo:

Torches at "Rhythms of the Night"

"Rhythms of the Night" is an excellent dinner and stage show that is produced by Vallarta Adventures at beachfront location that is the site of an estate formerly owned by John Huston. The location is on the south shore of Banderas Bay, and is accessible from Puerto Vallarta only by boat.

There is no electricity at the site (save for a couple of generators used for stage lighting). Dinner is served by torchlight, at tables on the beach.

The photo below is a picture of the beach area, with torches lit, as our boat was approaching the dock.
