There’s a bunch of stuff going on this week that you should already be absolutely aware of and I could avoid posting entirely, but just in case… This entire week is the Lyrids meteor shower, peaking around Tuesday but hey, meteor showers aren’t that predictable so if you have the time and the dark, […] On this date, we remember the man from above, the carpenter’s son who changed the world for all humankind and brought in a whole new culture, outlook, and future by his selfless actions, regardless of how anyone personally feels about it within circles that somehow dismiss his presence. So today, let’s all keep him […] First off, I must start with the obligatory daffodil, the first in our yard at least. It opened sometime yesterday but the rain didn’t stop until that evening, so it’s a nighttime flash shot. But I spent the past couple of days trying to find something to do for Darwin Day, which is today: […] It would be easy to miss a little detail in today’s image, and in fact I likely missed it when I was shooting the frame, three years ago, but there’s evidence of a curious effect to be found here.

Here’s the deal. Occasionally, waaayyyy above the tops of the clouds […] As I said in the first post of the series, the question that comes up in these topics, far too often, is, “Why doesn’t science takes these seriously?” And the answer usually is, “It does,” but serious does not equate with, “Finding that it has any merit whatsoever.” In the case of this part’s […] Now we come to the scenic images of the region of central New York that I visited – wow, about a month ago now. That’s disturbing. I had a couple of things planned for this trip, and most of them I got to, and some I didn’t. The image above is a small reminder […] |
