From an outing today, just now in fact. There! That makes me caught up to the ‘one-a-day’ thing.
[This is an orange jewelweed, Impatiens capensis, by the way.]

New wave
I have a CD kicking around here somewhere called ‘New Wave Hits of the ’80s,’ which is just one of many examples why you should never call anything, “new,” because shortly it won’t be. I mean, the art nouveau movement is well over a century old now we’re due for an art nouveau nouveau movement. Anyway, these photos are
Switching ruts
At times past, I’ve realized that I’m getting into a rut, posting too many images of a particular topic, mostly mantids and frogs. I have also said that I wasn’t much of a bird photographer, concentrating on other subjects (like mantids and frogs.) Well, at least I can switch ruts,
Just because, part 41
I’ve had this one sitting in the folder since before the trip to the (one and only) beach, and that was a month ago, so it’s ancient and decrepit, in internet terms. But I need a buffer again.
We have a handful of American five-lined skinks (Plestiodon fasciatus) that live near or under the front steps and thus bask on them when the weather’s good, invariably getting
Last one, I promise
Last sunrise video, that is – I’ll have just a couple more beach trip photos after this…
I came loaded for everything on this trip, especially video, which I’ve been trying to tackle more often naturally, there weren’t a lot of subjects that benefited from video. But there was one that I was really trying to get…
The last morning there, the conditions looked promising
As expected, ‘snot art
Still at it, and still not art. But this is a hint of things to come, just to get you all excited and tingly…
Local news and weather
About a week ago, we were still struggling with a faint drought, having had no rain in roughly two weeks while temperatures were peaking in the 30s, and the rain barrels were rapidly emptying as we kept the various plants watered. That evening I took the misting sprayer and went around to the likeliest plants to give them a thorough misting, knowing the mantids, at least, would be pleased with it.
Profiles of Nature 22
This week we meet Ermintrude, who specializes in playing unsettling parts because, man, even those nostrils stare into your soul. Ermintrude didn’t actually ‘get a start,’ as such – she simply walked (slowly) onto a set and said, “Put me on the payroll,” and they did, afraid of what might happen if they didn’t. She’s actually
But then, ‘snot art
Yeah, another from this vantage, but hey – we had the view right out the back decks, so we used it, okay? What would you do go down among the trees where you couldn’t see squat? Gimme a break…
We didn’t know the kayakers, either – they were from one of the neighboring houses on the sound, the dock with the
May be not
Since today is May but tomorrow is not, that can only mean one thing: it’s time for the end of the month abstract! Did you have your alarm set to get up early just to see this? I bet you did…
Of course it would have to be from the beach trip, and in fact, we have two, just to let you decide which one you’re least indifferent about.
Stunning composition, textures,
