A Preita By Any Other Name Would…

No be me I guess. Stole this from Kent’s Blog. I’m a little mystitfed how accurate it is. Actually it’s almost 100% dead on. Go test your own name here

What Preita Means

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people.
Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people’s problems.
Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless – and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

Avila Beach

As promised, some pictures for your viewing pleasure. All pictures were taken in Avila Beach, California this last weekend. During most of these pictures I was soaked, freezing & trying not to sufficate on the plastic bag I had wrapped around my camera & lens.

Yes I am this much of a dork. I totally want this octopus in my livingroom!

There were many times that I wished for multiple cameras with diffrent lens’s already on them. I would have liked to have something other than my telephoto lens for this. But I dig the feeling that you are flying with the birds California Brown Pelicans are some of my favorite birds.

This is where big lens’s rule. Please go here to see the large sized version. Granted I was only about 4 feet from this monster (yes this is a wild animal) the extra zoom really helps. I have to recomend if you are going to be a reckless dumbass like I am sometimes it’s good to alawys have a spotter who isn’t taking pictures & can see the full situation. As in watching the 6 other large adults watch me.

It was so incredibly windy the birds were having a hard time landing much less staying grounded. Love this picture. Which I had more of his wings though. The colors are fantastic.

The fact that these signs are needed is rediculous. People are beyond dumb. This juvinile male in the back is not full size (per the Ranger) and is probably as big as my Dodge Caliber.
