At the zoo, 3/8/20

Our day began at Safeway Kapahulu. Milton S. has had breakfast sandwiches there. Derek suggested we do the same, the 3 of us enjoyed it and realized we saved about 2/3's the cost of Denny's breakfast. We, Chinese were very happy.

Thanks Derek for letting me use your Sigma 100-400 lens with your Nikon camera - here are my photos. I did try his 100-600 but it was too heavy!!!

Who ruffled my feathers?

The 100 - 400 was helpful in getting the peacock in its glory.

The following are mine with the  70-200 lens with my Canon.

Be ready for five photos of the tiger. It was nice to see him walking around. Usually, he is stuck in one enclosure and tends to pace back and forth. This time he had both enclosures and he went back and forth between the two. Lol, we were getting tired of following him.

These darling ducklings and ducks were tugging at my heart strings.

It was definitely a fun day at the zoo. Thanks Derek and Milton.

Ducks in Flight at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden, 3/1/20

Derek and I "Cilly" were very fortunate that the weather was perfect, a little overcast at the beginning, later it became sunnier but not hot.

I took this photo because this flower does create a lot of mess as you can see on this roof top.

There were lots of ducks. It was such a challenge to catch them flying. Practice is what I need.

I am glad I went today especially since I missed the north shore one. It was fun today.

Sunrise: Lanikai, Birds in Flight: Hamakua Marsh 2/8/20

Sunrise at Lanikai...

Although we did not see the sunrise due to clouds, there were a lot of things happening. Paddlers, lone fisherman trying to catch Papio, dogs, etc.

Wow, so many coconuts!

 This dog has 2 different color eyes.

Getting ready...

Birds in Flight: Kailua's Hamakua Marsh...

These next 4 is a continuous flight

I have never seen ducks swim low.

This bird goes down for something

Happy heron with his fish.

However this other one wants it.

Nope, it is all mine!

It was fun with the guys, 5/7 made it this morning. Times restaurant for breakfast certainly filled my tummy and our jokes made it fun.
