My ass, that it, since I’ve been sitting on it for too long, regarding posts at least. I’ve had some pics and ideas lined up for a while now, and have simply been doing other things. So let’s get to it.
Some time back, there was a post featuring the detail captured from the molted
The video sorting continues apace – still a lot to go, but much more than that done. Still, we need another post, so we’ll check in on the new froglets appearing around Walkabout Estates now.
There have been a couple on the morning glories outside Deep 13 recently, so naturally I chose the smallest.
That’s enough for scale, right? We all know how big morning glory
A couple of follow-ups to previous posts, because I know you’ve been dangling anxiously…
Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tankah I mentioned in passing that I should have backlit the empty eye sockets of the molted exoskeleton of a golden silk orbweaver, because of course
In a previous post (don’t I say that a lot? Livin’ in the past, livin’ in the past) I mentioned that the tag, ‘Carolina anole’ was the most prevalent on the ol’ bloggachomps here, and since we just recently had a post about the runner-up, ‘Chinese mantis,’ we now have to feature more anoles just to prevent slipping from first place. This is how I justify
Even though I try to space things out a little, I really have to post these images before I get even more and produce a backlog…
We find it amusing that the juvie barred owls (Strix varia) are semi-routinely visiting the backyard, which we really only know because they still talk a lot, especially the one that we have now taken to calling, “Crybaby.” Two nights ago, I tracked
Had a small handful of pics to post, then got a few more yesterday morning (actually, right after the tiger beetle) that were going to go up, but I got busy with some other things. Then last night (which is only a couple hours ago as I type this,) I got more that needed to jump in line. So the next few image posts are going to be in reverse chronological order, but so be it.
In the late morning yesterday,
… which only means two nights ago now, since these got bumped by a heron.
Did a nighttime patrol, specifically looking for something since The Girlfriend and I saw evidence while we were out on the deck grilling steaks (back when it was daylight.) However, we’re going to build rather than doing them in order, because dramatic writing (well, typing) and all that.
I had the 180mm macro lens
I’m quite pleased to have gotten this. I was up yesterday at first light, not exactly intentionally, but used the opportunity to watch for duck and geese raids on the pond edge. Instead, I realized I was hearing the juvie barred owl (Strix varia) calls from right in the backyard again, so I gathered the long lens and tripod and went out looking.
While two were in evidence from the calls, I
Poking around at night by the headlamp again, endeavoring not to get eaten by a bear, I realized there was a faint sound that kept repeating, and I didn’t recognize it as anything ‘typical’ – the frogs were making a racket down at the pond, but this wasn’t a frog. So I started following
Who needs one, am I right? No need to get all hoity-toity with this – it’s a blog.
Which means I’m cleaning out a handful of images that have been piling up in the blog folder, unable to be attached to any theme.
Out one night and tracking a nearby ratcheting sound, I happened across this guy and got some nice poses, largely to try and invoke an identification since
