I said that I would reveal what the month-end abstract was, and so I have returned, later than intended but bearing gifts for all (one of which is coming up very soon.) At right is another version of the same subject, taken at the same time but with a much faster shutter speed. In certain small areas of lakes, ponds, and streams, a variety of swimming beetle can be found at times, charcoal grey

I know you’ve gotten the pattern down and are keeping track, so I don’t have to tell you what folder this comes from it’s a mere accident of timing that it coincides with the end of the month, and if I felt like cheating, I’d let this serve double duty, but since I already have a month-end abstract, I’ll keep the post count up.
And we’ve seen this causeway
Sayonara, August!
And so August goes its merry way, but not without firing off its parting shot of an abstract image. And just to show you what kind of guy I am, I’m not going to jump right in and blurt out what this is an image of, but I’m going to let you figure it out for yourself instead. If you get stumped, I’ll be along eventually (before the decade is out, most likely) and
What?
A few days back, the Missing Mr Bugg had finally finished with all his summer chores and we had another outing, the first since early May it was moderately productive but
I am about to outdo myself
It’s 3 AM, and I’ve just come back inside from filming/videoing something in the backyard, and all I can say right now is, it will likely remain the most bizarre thing that I’ve captured on video for quite a long time to come. It all started when I just took the headlamp out and poked around a little bit to see what could be found, and stumbled across (well, not literally,
Podcast: Hybridcast
Today is Highly Debatable Humor Day, when we celebrate those examples of humor where the appeal could be wildly subjective if you don’t find it amusing, well, you’re in accordance with a certain percentage of victims listeners/viewers, so just take heart in the idea that you’re not alone.

Figure it out yet? Don’t you hate it when people
Totally tubular
It’s been a while since I featured something from Ze Frank (or is it zefrank?) and I’m happy to rectify that with this latest offering:
I was originally going to leave it at that and be happy, but two things intervened:
1) I haven’t been posting enough anyway
2) I’ve had some images kicking around for years and have never written about them, even though I’ve been meaning
Lost at sea on this one
There are a lot of blogs out there that focus on personal hardships, the emotional experience, and the kind of common neuroses that most humans are prone to, and I’ve made it a point not to get involved in such things. Which is not to say that I don’t think they have their place sometimes (The Bloggess is one of those

This is one of those images that might hit different people in different ways, and by that I mean, some might be puzzling over what they’re looking at, and some might know right away – with a distinct possibility that this is “all” and “no one.” Only in reversed order. While choosing the photo for this week’s Ancient Lore post,
