Another from 2014, I always liked this direct portrait of a minuscule crab spider (genus Mecaphesa) – I went back to the original post to find that she measured 6mm across the legs in this position, which doesn’t make her a whole lot bigger than a tick.
Then I looked at the date, which was familiar, and thought, Is this the last arthropod photo that I took at the old place? Because
This one’s for Mr Bugg, who is likely to be pretty damn close to this spot in about a week or so.

Accuracy? I sincerely doubt it. But I was somewhere along Indigo Trail in JN “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida when I took these frames, and that’s close enough, especially
I threatened to do this, and it was not a mere bluff – I’m going through with it, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
[Well, there probably is, but let’s not go there…]
We’re back to revisiting some of the images from years past that I particularly liked, and this one certainly counts – dating from 2014, it’s been a part of a
This is a rather broad topic with no real consensus on what it includes, so it’s likely that anyone could either fault me for not covering something, or accuse me of lumping disparate concepts together. Overall, however, the same factors will apply to most or all of them, so let’s dive into, “Why doesn’t science take psychic powers seriously?”
The short answer is, such
Today, November 23rd, is Reflect on Anxiety Day, and I’m getting an early start on it because I’m winding down from a stressful day yesterday, and the stresses were rather widely divergent.
The first factor was, I picked up a new photography gig, but something that was out of my wheelhouse, which was/is showroom photography. Not the high-end stuff where items are brought into a studio
Hmmmm. For reasons that I won’t go into now, which makes it sound a lot more mysterious than the ridiculously trivial thing that it is, I have a loose goal of completing 40 (now) more posts by December 27th. That’s roughly twice what I’ve been averaging. Not impossible,
I originally considered them uncooperative eagles, but realized that was being unfair. And then as I type this, I recognize that assigning them any level of cooperation is unfair and a stupid human perspective, because they simply don’t give a shit and are going about their days, but I digress.
These all came from an outing with The Immaculate Mr Bugg… psssfffhh, thirteen days
I don’t know why I did, because the results were as expected, but I made the attempt again early this morning to capture some meteors. It was, at least, quite clear.
Not a glimmer of shooting star in there anywhere, nor did I see any no matter where I looked. So I boosted ISO to 6400 and just did some night sky exposures of this nature – but this is the funny thing:

On our way to Hilton Head Island many years ago, we found ourselves passing right alongside Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, and stopped to do a quick tour. Nestled within the marshy wetlands of the coastal islands, it was brimming
It’s about 7:30 PM right now, only a little chilly, with clear skies, unlike last night. Will I go back out and make another futile and disappointing attempt at the Leonids? The answer, may surprise you. But first, let’s check in with what’s happening on the Estates.
Well, what was happening, five days ago to be precise – these are all older photos. But they’re
