Boy, I’m late! To all those readers who came here seeking the end-of-month abstract to view over their morning coffee or first dump, I apologize. It remains a crazy time here, and again, more will be revealed later on.<\/p>\n

So we’ll have four, count ’em, four<\/em> abstracts. It probably would be better if we went with just one good<\/em> abstract, but I think we’ve determined that I only stumble upon those rather than produce them on demand. Plus I’m rarely thinking in those terms when out shooting anyway.<\/p>\n

But since there were three outings last week, we’ll do one for each of those, plus a local, which comes first.<\/p>\n

\"dew
This one was intentional, as I spotted it in The Jungle when looking for critters, so I did a quick couple of frames. We hadn’t had rain in two weeks at that point, so this is only dew.<\/p>\n

\"orange
This was from the Eno River, which was amazingly slow and produced too few photos for the time spent. This is, among many other things<\/a>, an orange jewelweed flower (Impatiens capensis<\/em>) shot with intentionally short focus – this was mid-afternoon so the dew was long gone by this point.<\/p>\n

\"maple
Next up we have Duke Forest and New Hope Creek, which was also disturbingly bereft of photo subjects, so I dragged the shutter a little to soften the water, and managed to keep the camera steady enough to maintain sharpness of the maple leaf. I probably should have boosted saturation for this one, but the weak colors convey the mood better I think.<\/p>\n

\"heavy
Mason Farm Biological Reserve was easily the most productive, and also the most humid – there was low-lying fog in selective patches before sunrise, and we made the most of it. More of those photos will be along eventually – today was actually supposed to be my day for catching up a little, then The Girlfriend’s flight out to Maine was bumped a full day back, screwing things up royally, and I have to be up at an ungodly hour (aren’t they all?) again<\/em> tomorrow to get her to the airport. As my friend observed, flying (at least commercially in the US) certainly sucks anymore.<\/p>\n

Regardless, onward into September!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
