This Estate Find might set the record for the most frames taken to capture what I was after, but that’s because I was after some pretty specific things that are very hard to see, from a subject that’s difficult to work with.
In the past week, as if a switch has been thrown, there’s a section of the property that sports large numbers of this week’s find, which could be a lot
Okay, listen – I already have the Estate Find post written for this week, that will appear in a few hours (thus the same day,) and it’s a little easier on my recordkeeping if I keep posts on the same day in both alphabetical and chronological order – that meant I had titles beginning with “A” through “Er” to work with. Plus I’ve gone all week with
I could have saved this one for the weekly topic, but I’m counting on getting something better before then, plus this is just too odd a story not to post immediately.
So, let me paint this picture. Walkabout Studios is a basement office half below grade, meaning my windows look out right at ground level and the outside door is sunk down a few steps. Right outside this door is a small wastebasket,
Why is it that it seems (to me anyway) to be okay to write “XXIII” but not “XXVIII,” instead making me think it looks cleaner to write “XXIIX”? I mean sure, it’s a digit less, but doesn’t it just look better? Yet I don’t think writing “XXIIV” works the same way…
Or we could just stop pretending that it’s somehow classier
I’ve been kinda deep in some projects right now, only one of which is photography-related, so not a lot of chance to get out. There was another ISS transit, this time of the sun, that was supposed to take place today, but we remained resolutely overcast and rainy for the entire day, so scratch that.
Right now, for the sake of it, I’ll just mention this one. For some time now I’ve
I mean, I’m sure you check out Earth Science Picture of the Day routinely, but I’m also quite sure it’s not until after you see what I’ve posted, so I’m just sending you there a little early, is all.
Earth Science Picture of the Day for June 3
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, I’ve just never gotten around to selecting and writing up a submission,
I’m sure the myriad and voluminous readers of this blog aren’t going to need the prodding, but June is just brimming with excuses to get outside. First off, the entire month is Great Outdoors Month, making it a good time to check out the parks near you, or not near you, and do a trip to that one place you’ve been planning to visit for months. Do it soon, before it gets too hot.
Then
… post the end of the month abstract?
Waaayyy too much like others, but this is what I got, except for some that have already been posted. Maybe I’ll go create another tonight (this is being written the night before it posts.) Anyway,
Give me credit for picking the right angle, at least. I took several from this vantage, because the depth-of-field was so short and the
Got a multi-part one for this week, dedicated solely to mammals, which are woefully underrepresented in my stock. Then again, I could live out in the west and have plenty of bison and such, but few examples of shorebirds and jellyfish, so…
The other evening while out on the edge of the pond, The Girlfriend’s Sprog asked what it was that was moving the tall pond leaves and I, rather dismissively
This past sorting task was overdue and required me to slog through 2,000 images, and the earliest image was still just May 2nd – less than a month. Now you understand why I keep talking about a photo backlog, and these only added to it…
I can’t recall the exact circumstances for this one, but we’ve noticed that if the wood ducks (Aix sponsa) get suspicious,
