The best time to see something like this is early morning, and it should be clear that the barnacle-encrusted shell in the middle is housing a hermit crab – they all are, actually, and they typically forage at night to early morning in the beach grasses immediately adjacent to the waterline. I’ve only
Yesterday, the Immortal-So-Far Mr Bugg and I went back down to the lake to see what was going on, which was, “Not a lot.” We got a handful of photos, and spotted four different bald eagles though in pre-sunrise conditions, so far too dark to be worthwhile in the slightest. However, there was one particular discovery that bears highlighting here. Maybe. I don’t know – are
Yeah yeah, I know, terribly unprofessional of me to neglect the blog, but I’ll tell you what: you can keep my honorarium this month. Deal?
That aside, I did indeed take a few photos yesterday, which means only an hour or two ago. It’s a clear night.
I’d seen the moon last night, uh, two nights ago, and knew it was too soon for… you know… so kept it in

There’s a lot to unpack with this one, so here goes.
First, this may, or may not, be the correct location I had no idea where we were at the time, but clues indicate that this is the spot. It was on a touristy snorkeling trip off Key Largo, Florida, and I recall the dive operator saying that only

I could put you practically within my footprints for this one, because I remember pretty precisely where I was standing, at the edge of the spillover from this decorative sculpture pool within Brookgreen Gardens between Murrell’s Inlet and Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. This was a sculpture garden, filled
You know, I used to have a calendar on this site, but the plugin didn’t last through updates and I simply moved everything over into my personal calendar and now just pop in with stuff that you need to be observing.
Such as, the Orionids meteor shower
I shouldn’t need to tell you by now that tomorrow is National Grouch Day, and I fully expect you to be on your worst behavior but know you won’t anyway, you’ll disappoint me yet again. Yes, the day when we trod on the feet
While typing up the previous post, I received an e-mail from my website host regarding the new services that they had to offer, but I didn’t let it distract me. Once posted, however, I took a quick look at it to see if there was anything of interest.
Disturbingly, three of the four new services featured Artificial-Intelligence-generated content: AI Website Builder, AI Domain
So we continue with the new discoveries and rediscoveries from the last sorting session, things found while examining photos at full resolution to determine critical sharpness, or that remind me that I intended to do something with them and put them off in favor of a different topic. This one was a discovery: what’s wrong with this picture?
If you’ve ever noticed, I include
