Are you all set to go out and watch the not-total lunar eclipse tomorrow morning, i.e., a few hours from now? I plan to be down at a reasonably dark sky location to make the attempt, though at the moment, it’s not looking promising – we have scattered thin clouds here right now, but they’re patchy, so it’s impossible to predict which way they may go. It’s been

Profiles of Nature 46
We have a little secret to tell you: we’ve been taking it easy on you. We’ve rejected an awful lot of Profiles content that was way worse than what we’ve been publishing. Like, horrendous. So yeah, you’re welcome.
This week we have Atotoztli, here reenacting our sister that one time when she said she was “only going wading” – she wasn’t even visible
Count on, and with, me
Yesterday I said I was eyeing a record for photos this year, but was running a little behind on what should be a fairly intensive end stretch. That had nothing to do with this. Nothing!
Okay, maybe a little…
I also mentioned needing to go around and chase fall colors, and so I did, kinda. I never left the yard today (well, yesterday now,) but found a decent selection nonetheless.
We
Not that lazy
Two posts back, I mentioned the Leonids meteor shower, and how it might be useful to go out earlier than the peak of the 17th/18th to see what could be found. I will smugly inform you that this was not a case of, “Do as I say, not as I do,” because I did go out to a dark sky location nearby, in the wee hours of the morning on the 11th (so, an hour or so after posting that,) and made
Profiles of Nature 45
Yep, another week, another Profiles – there’s no respite. But what are you gonna do, go to another blog? Ha ha ha ha haaa!
No, seriously, don’t go to another blog…
This week we have Linus, filming the climactic villain’s death scene for the upcoming Bridge on the River Kwai II: Nicholson’s Son, only the squibs didn’t go off. According
I’m just sayin’…
… that the Leonids meteor shower will be peaking on November 17th, but it’s going on right now. And in fact, it’s better to try and catch it before peak, because presently the moon sets early and the best time to see meteors is after midnight, so the skies are better the earlier you try. By the 17th, the moon will be about full and not set until 5 am or so.
The constellation Leo,
As the season clings resolutely
While the temperatures have (like most of the east coast) dropped significantly for the past two weeks or more, I think this is a phase before real autumn and winter, and the past couple of days it’s actually gotten quite comfortable during the day. This prompted a little activity that surprised me, but I’m not knocking it.
The treefrogs remain largely sequestered, because they’re
De sat Sat
Which, for those of you too slow on the uptake, is short for, “Desaturation Saturday,” dedicated (mostly) to monochrome images, also known as, “Sat de sat,” “Sabato senza colore,” and, “Quit relying on your stock images you lazy shithead.” Yes, once again we’re completely defeating the reason you bought that high-end color monitor (of
Found, um, kilobytage, or something
Funny, my spellcheck doesn’t like ‘kilobytage.’
Anyway, what we have here for this here post here, is a small collection of images that, during sorting, showed details that I was unaware of when shooting or unloading. It’s not found footage of course, because it’s not film, and we should be doing away with imperial units of measurement anyway, and how do you measure
Profiles of Nature 44
And here you were thinking that even if the Profiles won’t stop, maybe, maybe, something cute would be featured. Pitiful.
This week we have the mother and son vocalists of Angusina and Zebedee, on the set for the music video to accompany their new release, “WAE” – quite possibly not the best topic for a family duet, but we don’t judge. Actually, we do all the time, but
