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
May I leave you with this?
I guess I’m not too tired of May puns…
Anyway, it’s the last day of the month, and so time for the end-of-the-month abstracts, We cheat and go into archival images for this, actually waaayy back, into negative scans from the last century. Well, the scans might not necessarily be, but the negatives certainly were. I came across these both when I was trying to find some other
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
Estate Find 62
The first part of this began seven days ago, when I was out poking around at night, as is my wont, and spotted this one tucked in among the trees in a wooded portion of the property:
Okay, I didn’t spot it, it was already spotted when I found it. But in case it isn’t obvious, this is a white-tailed deer fawn (Odocoileus virginianus.) The funny thing about this
Tip Jar 21: Not to worry
In going back through some of the things that I advise new photographers on, I realized there were a few things that I suggested not to be concerned abut, a whole list actually. So herewith, some of the things that you can put out of your head.
Equipment. A big one here, because it’s one of the most common misconceptions. While there is no doubt that better equipment can assist
Now and then
Well, it’s now “Then and then,” since I didn’t quite get things done while it was still World Turtle Day, but I got to recognize the holiday a little, anyway. The photos are all from WTD, which was yesterday now, though the video from a week ago. I did a patrol of the Estates while it wasn’t raining, but found nothing to do any closeups
Appropriately slow
For reasons unknown, Thunderbird (my e-mail/calendar program) has stopped providing the programmed reminders at the proper times, meaning I will either get notifications randomly, or not at all. So we have little forewarning about World Turtle Day, which is tomorrow. I already have a few things I can feature, and will see if I have the opportunity for anything further – we’ve
