Another holiday is upon us, which should be an easy one to celebrate because, you know, we’ve all been there. Today is Laugh At What You Were Proud Of In Your Youth, the day when we all look back on our accomplishments or finds of the past and say to ourselves, “You naïve, ignorant fool!” In the case that I’m showcasing here, Younger Me was, um, just

Them projects, man
As intimated, I’ve been deeply involved in numerous projects here, keeping me away from blogging and not a lot of photography, either. So let’s catch up a little with pics from the past week or so.
We’ll start with an update on the bebbehs, the latest crop of nutria (Myocastor coypus) young, which have now expanded to five.
It’s rare to see them all at once,
Yeah, let’s do this
Now that the bloggarootie seems to be back to perfectly (well, nominally) functioning order, I thought, Should I go ahead and squeeze one last post and a handful of photos out before the day is up? and naturally followed with, Why not? I mean, the photos have already been shot, of a decent subject too – it’s not like I’m forcing anything (unlike, you know, certain
Took long enough
So, this is the other video that I’ve been trying to finish up, the notorious one mentioned in previous posts. It did not help in the slightest that, before getting the chance to edit together the clips, I continued to add more to them.
But yeah, the discoveries on the property keep right on happening. It’s certainly not boring in any way. Well, at least not for us…
You can see that
Gotta do this backwards
I have a small collection of the same subject from two consecutive days, but the best images were the first and tapered off a bit from there, so we’re doing them mostly in reverse order.
Four or five days ago (depending on when I actually post this – it’s 11 PM right now,) the day dawned quite foggy, and I looked out at the pond and saw practically nothing. No, it wasn’t quite
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
Shocked, but pleased
It took me a couple of days to get to it, but I managed to sit down and design the flashlight mount for the cheap little camcorder mount/stabilizer, and then get it printed on the trusty 3D printer. I designed it in six parts, mostly so the height/angle of the flashlight beam could be adjusted to match the center of the camcorder’s field of view.
The shocking part? Everything
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
But cute helps
Another video here, which makes this the [insert accurate count here] one for the year – it looks like I’m branching out into videography more than a little bit. And yes, more of the same subjects, but listen: I’ve spent very long periods of time featuring insects and spiders and lizards and worse, so at least we’re dealing with something cute right now.
Semi-routinely, when
