It’s always nice to have your own pool, but you have to factor in the fencing around it to keep the neighbors’ prying eyes out, of course. Out on the beck deck today, I found that a watering can featured a new detail.
Now, I know, every time we go to use the grill, I have to remove the cover and then chase three green treefrogs (Dryophytes cinereus) out from
When doing the end of the month tallying for the ol’ Walkabout blogaroosta, I found that I had uploaded 497 photos for the first half of the year. Three more, and I would have had a nice even 500 – I even had three waiting in the blog folder for a post! You can imagine the pain that this caused me.
Which was, not much at all. ‘Round’ numbers are a conceit, little more –
Within two days, I had two similar subjects to work with, with rather disparate cooperativeness, but it gave me the chance to catch up a little on the image count for the month.
The rains came in this past week, too many cloudbursts to count, but it made the amphibians happy, and we all know how important that is. One decided to come in the front door as soon as I opened it, though it likely
And so, June did expire, but not before, with its last breath, producing an abstract. It shouldn’t have made the effort, really…
I find myself woefully unprepared for the month end, and can offer only an archival image – at least, in the truer sense of the word, “abstract.” I stumbled across this earlier this month, kinda liked it, and set it aside in case I, you know,
My sleep schedule is quite whack right now, so when I say I was doing something, “early in the morning,” that means for me, translating to midmorning for most people. So, early in the morning, I looked out back and spotted one of the green herons (Butorides virescens) right down at the pond edge. We’ve had a couple sticking around for a while now, but virtually
Another round of sorting finds, because I emptied out the folders (well, the image folders – the video folders still need ‘some work.’) Except, the image sort folders remained empty for less than a day, so I could do it again, but it’s not enough to worry about right now.
So let’s see, we’ll start with a sequence:
A bit earlier in the year (these
We’re halfway through now, and I regret picking this kind of topic a little, because many of these posts take a fair amount of work and I’m often pushing the deadline, like I am now. It’s not like there’s a firm deadline anyway, just the one I arbitrarily chose, and you probably couldn’t even tell me the one I blew by several hours. Still, I’m trying to be conscientious,
Astronomy Picture of the Day today had a lovely sunspot image.
… which they said was presently crossing the sun. We’re in a narrow window between scattered clouds and rainstorms that are due within hours, so I quickly grabbed the solar filter and went out to see just how visible this sunspot group was. Actually, not too shabby.
As always, it took several frames to get
Rather abruptly, I have a backlog of photos and two video clips to get up here, so I’m going to be working my way through these in the next couple of days, and we’ll see how many other things come up while I’m dealing with these.
We’ve been having two white-tailed deer does (Odocoileus virginianus) visiting for corn on a regular basis, usually a couple of times a
I mentioned in the previous post that, after seeing the barred owl (Strix varia) family without a camera in hand, we may try to remedy that with another kayak excursion down there. However, yesterday I got busy on modifying the dock, and then the rains rolled in, so we never actually took the kayaks out.
Right around midnight, I was in the kitchen and heard the juvie call, and it sounded close
