While troubleshooting the 3D printer the other day, I flipped the entire chassis up and discovered that, in a hollow under the main deck, a tiny spider had made its home. This is not particularly surprising, since plenty of species seek out little undisturbed dark spaces like that to make their webs, intent on capturing, I dunno, dust and ghosts it seems – it’s hard to say what kind

Another Magic Bucket trick
Going out early this morning (really early, last-night kind of early,) I found that the Magic Bucket of Variety, AKA my outdoor wastebasket, had lured in another friend.
Initially, I confidently proclaimed this a brown snake, but several of the identifying characteristics aren’t really there. Eventually (while writing this post,) I found the
Estate Finds 56 & 57
A double for today, even though these were both found yesterday – the time to get the post together just wasn’t there, but part of this was because I insisted on fleshing it out a bit, which means, another video clip.
By the way, I kept mentioning getting to two videos, and have recently posted two. Only, the second one wasn’t one of those I was referring to, being a Tip Jar entry
Estate Find 54
“Hey, you mook,” I hear you saying, “that was last year’s weekly topic. We’re done with that now.” But no, not when we’re greeted with this this morning.
That’s a white ibis, or American white ibis if you prefer (Eudocimus albus,) perched in a tree on the edge of the pond, and while it’s not the first I’ve seen
Estate Find 53
We’re not doing it weekly anymore, but the Estate Finds will still creep in here and there, and this one certainly merits attention we’re doing away with the roman numeral horseshit though. This is what greeted me when I went out front today:
That’s part of our bird feeder system. Two feeders down, both damaged, one crook tilted crazily. Now, the soil tends to
The start is not strong
Yeah, I know, it’s a really poor posting schedule for the beginning of the year, and I’d like to say that there’s a good reason, and I will because I’m good at indulging myself, but honestly, there isn’t. It’s been fairly cold with little to see here save for the same ol’ subjects that aren’t doing anything new, though I do have a few video clips to
Another night, another… what?
This is just to let you know that not only is the Leonids meteor shower expected to peak tonight after midnight, but there’s a chance that the aurora borealis will make another appearance, and with a dark moon (actually, it doesn’t matter how bright it is, because it’s riding too close to the sun right now and thus wont be seen most of the night,) the conditions
Estate Find XLIII
Got a double for this one, though one (at least) has been seen before, so we’ll start with that one. This is, once again, a capture of the Magic Bucket of Variety, which had been quiet for a while before turning up this guy as the weather has been getting crisper. I’m still at a loss as to why so many things
Little things for now
Just a couple of pics for the time being – I’m in the middle of sorting and some sorting finds will be along when I finish, so right now, we have a couple of recent discoveries for giggles.
First off, last night the five bebby anoles that could be found on the Japanese maple nearest the door to Walkabout Studios could be captured in a single frame:
Can you find them all?
Crikey stroppin’ beeah!
Today, so my calendar informs me, is National Wildlife Day, which is actually different from World Wildlife Day, found on March 3rd and yet somehow not on my calendar. In fact, this is only a National Wildlife Day, since it also falls in February – perhaps it depends
