First, the night before

I don’t have a lot of photos to show right now, but I’m still going to split them off into two posts, partially because they represent two separate time periods and subject matters, and partially because I haven’t been posting much and driving up the numbers justifies, um, something…

So, last night.


In doing my semi-regular nightly patrol, I was well aware read more

Prepare for the onslaught!

There – now that I’ve mimicked damn near every news source out there, I can now say, don’t bother, and there will be no onslaught.

But, the emergence of the 13 year perdiodical cicadas has begun around here.


This is (most likely, anyway) one of the Brood XIX, 13-year cicada species, from the genus Magicicada, but right now I don’t think I can narrow read more

Handful of night

Found a couple of subjects while poking around tonight, but only had very short periods of time to capture them, which I’ll explain in a moment. So this is what you get.

And then the following morning I got some more, with both days contributing to the recent read more

Too cool, part 28: Wholly molty!

Seriously, I really need to stop doing titles like that…

This is going to be the longest post on the blog. Not in terms of words, but in terms of images, since I am going to show a long sequence from the other evening, and they’re nearly all vertical format, so the linear dimensions of the post are going to be exceptional. This may result in some gaps between text blocks, so please excuse read more
