While the property has been overrun with bebby anoles, it’s also seeing more than its fair share (whatever that may be) of bebby frogs as well. This is a scale photo of one from the other night:
That is my left thumb. The sickly pink one, I mean, not the green one, and just now I realized I should have named the image, “greenthumb.jpg.” Too late now stupid.
Look at your thumb just
… but now that I have some serious video that I need a voiceover for, it’s raining. We did this on the last one, didn’t we?
Literally a meter from the door
Yes, it’s/they’re more likely female I think, but whatever. Just shut up.
Actually, the white thing is a bucket catching rainbarrel overflow, so I popped the second one into it and carried them both
It’s that time of the month again – you have until midnight to get what you need from July, because after that it’s gone. We tried to warn you…
And that means it’s end-of-the-month abstract time, though I think I’m abusing the definition of that word again. But here it is anyway, free of charge, so file your complaints appropriately.
After one of
… since we first saw the new Walkabout Estates Plus in person.
Yep, we were perusing the real estate listings and considering this location, initially having rejected it for not having some specific criteria, then a closer look seemed to contradict that, indicating that it actually met those criteria. The Girlfriend had the day off for the Juneteenth holiday, and I said, “You
Okay, this holiday actually occurred almost a week ago on May 25th, but I’m bringing it up now intentionally, and you’ll understand why in a moment – give or take.
Today (not today) is the birthday of Dumfroot Spaglokkit, known far and wide to photographers as the inventor of the shutter lag. Here’s his story:
In the early days of the field when photographers had to create
I’m quite fond of rotorcraft, and rarely get to indulge this in any way, though the local airport being used for refueling the regional medevacs helps to some degree, and occasionally we get buzzed. But as we found long before moving here when only visiting the town, said airport also gets used for practice by Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotors, military aircraft likely based out of Cherry
It’s been a busy couple of days, and so I haven’t cleared any of the backlog while, yes of course, adding to it. So I’ll clear two add-ons and reduce the amount of deficit by a small degree. Seriously, I shouldn’t even be doing this, since I’ve got a shitload of photos to sort too, and will be returning to that once this is posted. Anyway, two from this morning.
Hoo boy! Lose internet for four days (don’t ask,) and suddenly I have a shitload of things to post, on top of the things that I already had waiting. It’s gonna be a while to catch it all up, plus tomorrow is going to be busy so not only will I make no progress then, I might even add to the backlog. In the meantime, I present a blue flag iris (Iris versicolor,) one of many that
A few photos sitting largely by themselves, just gotta clear some of the folder out.
Out the other night with the long lens attached, I fired off a few frames handheld at the waxing crescent (nearly half, or first quarter) moon high in the sky, adjusting focus manually each time. This one came out the sharpest, and this is a full-resolution crop from the center – that’s
“You started off last weekend telling us about the game convention, Al,” you say, “and then you go back to bug and snake pics. What happened with the convention, Nimrod?” Which is a little rude, I must admit, yet deserved nonetheless. So here’s what happened:
As I said, Dan Palmer (the driving force behind the Gnomon Deck) and I had two tables
