Another long, eventful month to wave toodle-oo to, and so we have the month end abstracts. And all three were shot within the month, so, good on me? I guess that depends on how good the photos actually are.<\/p>\n

\"twisted
From an outing early win the month with the Unforeseeable Mr Bugg<\/a> (who it appears is not<\/em> dead,) this was one of the few images worth keeping – at least by my standards, and that word is used with almost cavalier abandon. I might<\/em> have had to tell you what this was if it wasn’t for the little bit of lichen in there. <\/p>\n

Moving on.<\/p>\n

\"dewy
One thing that I regretted not doing on the first NY trip was checking out a walking trail in Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge<\/a>, and after dropping The Girlfriend off at the airport the morning of my last day there on the second trip, I realized it was my last chance. Not a lot to see, but the low sun and the still-present dew made this pop out, and I cropped tighter to draw attention to the scribbled detail.<\/p>\n

And finally,<\/p>\n

\"willet
I’d somehow missed this one when doing the post about the refuge, and better pics will be along eventually, but I liked the nature of it here, so it’s a late addition to the lineup. This is a willet (Tringa semipalmata<\/em>,) and there were at least a couple of them lurking about – this one got chased off soon after by a territorial rival. Yes, of course<\/em> this was manual focus – autofocus would have just freaked out and gone on a vandalism spree until tackled by numerous police officers.<\/p>\n

All right, August, let’s see what you have for us…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
