This juvenile Forster's Tern hovered right in front of me as I stood on the levee at Don Edwards in Alviso yesterday. I got lots of shots, but no real good focused shots..it was windy, too. Of course, this would be the best one...its face hidden behind the wing...
Might as well classify it as the one that got away...
We took a day-long tour around Cat Ba Island/Ha Long Bay. This place is ridiculously photogenic. Let me assure my friends, yes, this is still Earth, and yes, it is real. Somehow.
Along the way the guides took us to one of the floating home/floating fish farms. They live in little shacks on the water and keep fish in nets lowered in the water. The guides said there's over 2000 people living this way in the area. Other than being on the water, it looks like any other low-wage village around here, complete with dogs corner stores, etc.
Oh, and it turns out this is the time of year to come! Weather was great and the place was not busy. We had the entire boat to ourselves!
