Well folks, I won't have any new photos for two weeks...
It's a long and sad story, but to make it short -- I managed to drop my $1100 70-300 I.S. D/O zoom lens into San Francisco Bay yesterday morning... It made a resounding plop when it hit the water... R.I.P., zoom lens...

I noticed the giant peace-sign a week or two ago at Loch Lomond Marina in San Rafael, and I took a picture, but the day was cloudy so the photo didn't have much "pizzazz"...
I intended to return at night when the lights might be turned-on -- but then I was out there at sunrise on Friday and got this photo... Don't tell anybody, but I had to "Photoshop in" all the red lights (I blurred them slightly to give them a more realistic look) -- but that was kind of a fun project...

Spawning season at Lagunitas Creek has officially begun, and the water district is releasing more water into the creek from their reservoirs to encourage the annual migration...
But the Coho Salmon usually wait until a substantial rainstorm before they proceed upstream to lay their eggs -- and then, sadly, die...

The sun was being elusive on Wednesday... Faintly, in the upper left corner of the photo, you may be able to make out a tower of the Golden Gate Bridge... That's Black Sands Beach on the left, a victim of our recent oil spill...
