If you’re like me, even as often as I do it I still picture something like Elmer Fudd when I hear this word, or someone creeping up with a detached bush as camouflage while pizzicato strings play with their footsteps (I think that’s the term, but I’m not a music person.) This is misleading, even in the circumstances when it’s not entirely inaccurate, and

The stories I could tell ya…
… and usually do, without a filter even.
So I did go out this morning just before the peak of the Lyrids meteor shower (which was supposed to be around 4 AM locally,) and fired off a lot of frames. Stars were visible but not distinctly so, leading me to believe either the humidity was very high or a faint haze was obscuring the sky (which is the same thing I guess.) I was largely watching
One of them videos
I finally got around to completing one of the two videos that I had on the docket, but we have to lead into it a little.
The backstory: With the gout of warm weather a short while back, the various amphibians around the yard (among many other critters) leapt into action and were out making a dogawful racket some nights – as in, it was actually painful to listen to from short
That would do it
I mentioned in the previous post about the possible explanation for the raised water levels in the pond, and The Girlfriend and I went out in the kayaks today to check things out. I would say the mystery is adequately solved.
That’s the edge of the kayak peeking in there, as it sat against the top of an impressive beaver dam, one that measured better than six meters in length
Perhaps more often
One step behind
I’ve been trying to get this video finished and uploaded for a couple of days now, and just tonight I had finished it off but, before I had even uploaded it, obtained even more clips that really should have been added. Instead, they’ll be along within a few days – otherwise I’ll never catch up. And yes, this is more backyard pond video.
This is to note that I added the mounting
Estate Find LII, oh so late
Like, twelve hours later than my typical posting time – I am wracked with guilt. But to play on your sympathies, I haven’t been feeling well the past day or so, and so snuck in a couple of naps when I should have been working on this video. And of course, video editing takes so damn long in the first place, or at least, it does for me…
To add to that, nothing particularly new with
Estate Find L
Almost an extension of last week’s, which seems like it was a lot longer ago than it was. This was because I got the photos and video clip for last week’s that Monday, only three days after the preceding Find (XLVIII) and four days before it posted, and now these clips came this past Wednesday and Thursday evenings, nine and ten days following. Is that confusing? Let’s just say
Estate Find XLVI
Another two part one this week – we’ll start off slow.
While I had been seeing some news alerts that the aurora borealis might be visible in several northern states, I paid little heed to them since North Carolina, despite its name, is far from being considered a ‘northern’ state. Then The Girlfriend’s Sprog told me that we might actually be seeing a display here, and
Estate Find XLIV
A rather lackluster find this week, but also the beginnings of a project that might provide for more interesting stuff later on. Otherwise, you’ve seen the recent worthwhile pics, or will in a post soon to follow – they’re all the same subjects I’ve been finding recently anyway.
With the rains came a lot more noisemakers outside, different ones at different hours of the day,
