4 young professionals from Mexico City visit.


Being Baja Nomads, they enjoy coming to Baja as much as any of us.

Quite an interesting group of nice fellows...all successful in thier careers.

'Will the Real Shell Beach Please Stand Up?"


Ha..sorry David K, could not resist the pun. Actually, this shell-covered beach is called Conch Cove and/or Playa Almeja. Whatever you want to call this beach, it is a mother-lode of seashells.

I am sworn to secrecy about it's location..but I'll divulge it's gps co-ords for one cold Pacifico. I'm cheap.







..for TWO cold Pacificos I can put you onto the Lost Dutchman Mine or where to find Jimmy Hoffa..:yes:.

Was tempted to ask about your choice of camera, but then it's all about the talent behind it, so the info will do me no good. Thanks for all your fine work.

1bobo, thanks for looking and writing. Your question about my choice of camera seems to put me in the category of experienced and professional photagraphers. I am not. I'm a point and shoot type..strictly an opportunist photo-hound who has been in love with cameras since my first..a Brownie Hawkeye.


A lot of my older photos I took with a Canon AE-1 Program...a very good and easy camera to use. Lots of pros DO carry one of those as a backup or spare. For the last few years I have been using one of these: Coolpix 4300, Nikon D-40, and Nikon D-90. For my amatuer picture-taking I prefer the D-40..easy to use in any situation, easy to fix after I screw it up...which I did just the other day. A quick stop at Brown's Studio in Coos Bay fixed the problem..no charge. Nice guy...so I bought a lens filter and finally a good camera strap.

I like SLR body-styles the best. :rolleyes:

Gotta admit this one made me laugh. A palm reader as well. I guess there's a bit of gypsy in all of us.

Up North I have watched the Dance of the Sandhill Cranes..

And when arriving down South....




...I think this egret puts on a pretty good show in Coyote Bay, too.
