I had a few wood duck photos to feature, a teaser until I get the video clips together, and I was thinking it’d be a nice change because we hadn’t had wood ducks for a while. So, exhausting researcher that I am, I looked for the last appearance of “wood duck” on the blog.
Which was yesterday,
A twofer, except they’re both half-assed, no real luck with the video this time, so consider these a teaser until I get better evidence. The video will illustrate it well enough.
So, right after we first moved in, we’d found some fox scat on the driveway, and then not another sign at all, save for a neighbor telling us she’d seen one in the past. When I’m in the upstairs bathroom
Don’t they say, “Never assume you know the answer to something that hasn’t been tried”? (And where should the question mark go in that sentence? Do I have it right? Or should I have rephrased it so it wasn’t even an issue?) (And who’s “they”? Or is that, “Who’s they?” Fucking quotes, man…) So while I can easily say, “It’s
First off, I apologize for missing another Tip Jar. I got both under the gun on a deadline for last Monday, and under the weather with a chronic gut. I was attempting to have this up a day or so late, but realized it would be better if I delayed it further to flesh it out with more example images. So let’s delve into infra-red photography.
To start off with, infra-red refers to a very large
Several days back, I looked out towards the pond in the early morning and saw this strange-looking web, largely because it was backlit.
You have to admit, those ‘dotted’ support strands are distinctive – there really was only a narrow time of day that this would be so visible. Notice how tightly-spaced the orb portion of the web is, obviously targeted towards quite
Out this morning gathering more images for the Tip Jar post tomorrow, I happened across this guy, anxiously hiding away from the morning glory blossom back there. This doesn’t make any sense to me, since all the blossoms that I’ve seen (save for Star Trek and Audrey II) have been distinctly non-aggressive but, you know, that’s towards me, who
Yeah, it’s been nine days since my last post, skipping over the Tip Jar even – readers, were they not imaginary (or even if they were I guess,) gonna think I died or went over to the Dark Side, i.e. some form of lame-ass social media. But no – I’ve been singularly lacking in motivation while at the same time tackling far too many other things. There are
My ass, that it, since I’ve been sitting on it for too long, regarding posts at least. I’ve had some pics and ideas lined up for a while now, and have simply been doing other things. So let’s get to it.
Some time back, there was a post featuring the detail captured from the molted
We did film developing last week, so let’s tackle the next step: making a print from the negatives we now have (right?)
Making a print is slightly more involved, but not significantly, though it has a greater investment in equipment, prep, and space. The big thing is, you need an actual darkroom now, but making one isn’t all that hard.
Darkroom. You will need space for
… yark in the yard?
A few days ago, The Girlfriend pointed out this curious mound of… something… in the grass not 7 meters from the window to Deep 13. Initially, I said, “Bear shit,” based on what appeared to be berry seeds, then looked closer and suspected it was an old patch of fungus that was fading away, but I wasn’t sure of that. Later on, I put on some rubber
