Despite being a Coen Brothers film, with writing and direction assistance by Sam Raimi, I’ve found very few people familiar with this one, and it’s a shame because this is a great little story on its own, even if it doesn’t quite measure up to the more popular films that they’ve made. This also came out in 1994, at roughly the same time as Forrest Gump, which naturally

An illustration
While the property has been overrun with bebby anoles, it’s also seeing more than its fair share (whatever that may be) of bebby frogs as well. This is a scale photo of one from the other night:
That is my left thumb. The sickly pink one, I mean, not the green one, and just now I realized I should have named the image, “greenthumb.jpg.” Too late now stupid.
Look at your thumb just
Odd memories, part 29
This one isn’t so much odd as appropriate, sparked by finding a comic gallery on Bored Panda the other day. On occasion, they feature a collection of webcomics from a single artist, and this time around it was Rosemary Mosco. I recognized the style quickly, because I’d
It hasn’t rained for days…
… but now that I have some serious video that I need a voiceover for, it’s raining. We did this on the last one, didn’t we?
Literally a meter from the door
Yes, it’s/they’re more likely female I think, but whatever. Just shut up.
Actually, the white thing is a bucket catching rainbarrel overflow, so I popped the second one into it and carried them both
Still more of the shit I get up to
Definitely one of the more awkward things I’ve ever attempted, especially in the name of mere curiosity.
So the eastern kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula) made another appearance a few minutes ago, and this time it was too far out of the burrow to retreat back into it, so in moments I had it in hand. First things first: this is not the same one as
I’m an idiot
Actually, it’s hard to believe that, in over sixteen years of posting, I haven’t used that title before…
So early this morning, the ISS was supposed to pass in front of the moon again, at least in my location, and I was all prepared to go out after it again. I didn’t have visibility here at Walkabout Estates Plus, so I packed my gear down to a spot just off the waterfront,
Profiles of Nature 61
Holy shit, it’s been over a year since the last Profiles! You must think we’ve become compassionate or something! We’ll have to see what we can do to correct that horrid misapprehension…
This time around we have Shailagh, whose favorite month is June because people think she’s observing Pride Month when in reality she always looks like this, observing nothing because
Intended and appropriate
Okay, this holiday actually occurred almost a week ago on May 25th, but I’m bringing it up now intentionally, and you’ll understand why in a moment – give or take.
Today (not today) is the birthday of Dumfroot Spaglokkit, known far and wide to photographers as the inventor of the shutter lag. Here’s his story:
In the early days of the field when photographers had to create
Something tagged this way comes
It’s January, it’s cold, everyone (in the northern hemisphere) is cooped up inside, and to top it all off, we’re back with the tag roundup – death and tags, you can’t escape them. And while you think you know what tags are and what they’re for, here on the ol’ Walkabout blogaroonie, they’re also irreverent and uncouth comments on the content, and since
Public Service Announcement
This is just a little reminder, for your sake and ours: Nature photography benefits from doing things correctly. Today, we’re going to talk about shooting through windshields. As easy as it might be, as convenient as it might be, despite the fact that your subject may not permit your attempt to avoid it by opening a door or window and leaning out, don’t shoot through windshields.
