Or, don’t – I’m about to show you why not.
So, once again the media is hyping a ‘supermoon’ for the full moon going on right now, which means a full moon very near the moon’s closest approach to the earth, or perigee. “The biggest and brightest moon for all of 2025!” or even longer periods, and such articles pop up all the time. We have a very clear
I’m in a rut and I know it – there’s not a lot I can do about it, but there’s content at least, by a real human being too. Soon enough, these subjects won’t be visible for a while. I think.
First though, we revisit the end of month abstract – one of them, anyway. On the night that a persistent mist hung in the air, making the headlamp appear to be shining through
A rather lackluster find this week, but also the beginnings of a project that might provide for more interesting stuff later on. Otherwise, you’ve seen the recent worthwhile pics, or will in a post soon to follow – they’re all the same subjects I’ve been finding recently anyway.
With the rains came a lot more noisemakers outside, different ones at different hours of the day,
Yes, we’ve reached the end, which should be plentiful obvious if you’re in the US at least, as the frivolous but nonetheless enjoyable holiday rolls in. As we discovered last year, we see practically no Trick-or-Treaters here at Walkabout Estates Plus, which is kind of a shame – we’ll see what happens this evening.
But the End-Of-Month Abstract waits for no one! Well, except
Or at least, it had been, for about three days solid I believe. While I wasn’t a fan of how often it rained in central New York, this weird North Carolina pattern of weeks of drought and then days of rain is unbalanced and not the best for the plants, but at least we have the rain barrels to try and even things out.
But while it was wet, I took a little time to use the conditions.

Finished another sorting job last night, 1,600+ images, and so another load of sorting finds, pics that weren’t featured at the time that they were taken, is now awaiting our attention. We’ll do these in chronological order.
The camellia trees/bushes/whatevers, for some reason, aren’t as popular sleeping spots for the Carolina anoles (Anolis carolinensis)
That’s a sporting term, isn’t it? Shame how these get into our vernacular…
So the saga of computer headphone port repair dragged on much longer than it should have – I just wanted to be able to use headphones on my computer! The parts arrived about a week ago, and I realized
All right, it’s been long enough since the last one, so we can get back to this saga from a few days back.
The Girlfriend bought a selection of chrysanthemums, but before they were planted they were clustered together on the front lawn, and it wasn’t long at all before the Carolina anoles (Anolis carolinensis) discovered the charms of these. In going past one afternoon, I spotted
Got a double for this one, though one (at least) has been seen before, so we’ll start with that one. This is, once again, a capture of the Magic Bucket of Variety, which had been quiet for a while before turning up this guy as the weather has been getting crisper. I’m still at a loss as to why so many things
We all know dreams can get pretty weird I know my strangest tend to come if I’m running a fever, or alternately if I took a dose of naproxen sodium (the drug behind Aleve) before retiring. Otherwise, most of my dreams now are fragmentary and generally very mundane, ordinary events that might occur during the day.
The other night was different, and one particular detail stands out to me. You
