S’okay, not much warning on one of them, but if you’re here, you don’t really need the prompting, even if it’s prompting to not be here – you may not need that either. But tomorrow, June 13th, is National Get Outdoors Day, or at least, USA Get Outdoors Day; it may not extend beyond our own country here. Now granted, the heat index

Right on schedule
Out the other evening, I found something that, in the back of my mind, I figured was about due to start showing up, if last year was any guide. That would be this:
Yep, it’s a golden silk orbweaver (Trichonephila clavipes,) almost certainly female yet quite a young and small one, considering how big they usually get. I guess I should say was, since I just
(Off) Estate Find 63
Poking around at night by the headlamp again, endeavoring not to get eaten by a bear, I realized there was a faint sound that kept repeating, and I didn’t recognize it as anything ‘typical’ – the frogs were making a racket down at the pond, but this wasn’t a frog. So I started following
Numbers don’t lie. Do they?
I realize my posting has been pretty thin of late – still tackling home projects, still stalling on another video. And then I go off on these tangents that don’t help at all, but I want to put them down while they’re still fresh, so here we are.
While working on the post about Ultrafinitism,
Ya got a dime?
Hang onto it, because you’ll need it in a moment.
Towards dusk, The Girlfriend and I were next to the liriope patches alongside the walk when I spotted movement. Expecting an anole, because of course (they do own the property,) instead I found a micro-subject that The Girlfriend was astonished by. I went to get something to capture it within while she kept her eyes on it, and luckily
Tip Jar 22: Condensation
Quick one this week – I think I mentioned someplace that I’ve been a little busy, and so too little time to prepare with images and so on. However, we’re just entering into the season for this in roughly half of the US, while the northernmost portions might see very little application of this advice, and the southernmost may have already been dealing with it. There are also times
Yeah, okay, well…
Bombarded by countless* messages pointing out my error, I realized that I didn’t do that little chant while I was preparing the month-end post, and somehow scheduled it for yesterday instead of today. In my defense**, it’s been a busy week and especially weekend, with too many simultaneous things vying for attention, and so I missed this and looked like*** an idiot.
So, another abstract
Estate Find 53a
Estate Find 53 was back in January, and this is simply a continuation of the story.
I had to go away for a while, ended up returning at roughly 1 AM this morning – spooked a handful of deer near the end of the driveway, but otherwise all seemed quiet. I got the first load of schtuff out of the car, had a quick bathroom break, and headed back out to get another load, flipping on the porch and
Psscchhfff, “topic”
Who needs one, am I right? No need to get all hoity-toity with this – it’s a blog.
Which means I’m cleaning out a handful of images that have been piling up in the blog folder, unable to be attached to any theme.
Out one night and tracking a nearby ratcheting sound, I happened across this guy and got some nice poses, largely to try and invoke an identification since
Send nutes
I’ve stalled on this video compilation for too long, especially since I have another waiting in the wings that now has far too many clips to add to it, but here it is, anyway: more of what goes on at the pond edge, mostly at night, but there are a couple day clips in there.
Now, I’m well aware that a video this length will cause a certain percentage of people to simply skip it, unable
