Going solar?

According to the UT San Diego is ranked #2 in the nation for solar. We put solar on our home a few years ago and our electric bill for last year was $176. Protecting the environment, saving our budget.

San Diego County ranks No. 2 in the nation for solar
trailing only Honolulu for installed solar power, per capita

Solar installations which add to job growth are a key part of the city of San Diego’s climate action plan that aims to achieve 100 percent renewable energy use citywide by 2035.

The Last Cruise?

No simple way about it.  My wife and I love to travel.  We worked hard over the years, saved and looked for great deals to explore places we’d only dreamed of.  One of the best solutions was to cruise.  But the coronavirus has changed the industry.  Details are still to come but they’ll need a lot of solutions before they can sail again.  How are cruise lines going to convince 250 – 4,000 guests they will be safe.  And what about the buffets, the big draw… Stay tuned.

Details:  All images are from our cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale.  I used a Nikon mirrorless Z6 camera with both a 16-35 and 28-300 lens.

Clear View

Snorkeling with the green Hawaiian sea turtle near Kona on the west side of the Big Island.

Just prior to the virus outbreak and shutdown Patti and I took a 9 day trip to Kona, our trip to the final Hawaiian island on our wishlist. Just a short drive from our studio was a black sand beach. Once in the water though the clarity was one of the best from our many trips to Hawaii.

This video was my first effort with a GoPro8. Still learning how to edit and color manage it but the stabilization was very good.
