The Toons are by artists who give permission to share their work (SMBC, Joe Martin, Wrong Hands). The quotes are from the original Jokes of the Week. Toons Quotes It seems to me that there must be an ecological limit to the number of paper pushers the earth can sustain, and that human civilization will... Continue Reading →
I like birds, but like some more than others. If there is an unofficial list of my favorite birds, Dark-eyed Juncos surely are on that list. Perhaps I should start one. The gradual increase in their numbers tells you Winter is coming, and the gradual diminishing of their numbers tells you Spring is coming. That's... Continue Reading →
I struggled to come up with a title for this post . . . then it came to me. See if you can guess how. "Winding up . . . . . . and, contact!" Got it? Anyway, I had these images that I thought deserved to be seen at least by a few people... Continue Reading →

That is the image as it came out of the camera (Nikon Z50 II w/Tamron 50-400mm zoom). Yes, it was shot during daylight hours . . . 8:00am, to be precise. What can be done with this shot? Well, let's see. First, we crop it to isolate the subject, such as it is, then, in... Continue Reading →

Toons Quotes The private detective of fiction is a fantastic creation who acts and speaks like a real man. He can be completely realistic in every sense but... Continue Reading →
I tend to photograph a lot of cardinals because they are showy birds, there are a fair number hanging around, and they are easy to photograph. The following are samples of the 30 pictures in THIS SmugMug gallery. Granted, after a while, they all sort of blend into an avian bouillabaisse of red feathers, but... Continue Reading →
S23 Ultra I have two birdbaths with heaters in them, and two others without . . . the above is the ice from the smaller of the unheated birdbaths. I get those when it warms up after a cold night. The ice melts a bit, and I remove it by lifting it at the outer... Continue Reading →
Note: I'll try to keep this short. We'll see how I do. So, I recently purchased a book by Chris Kohler. My first exposure to him was on YouTube (LINK to his channel), where he cleverly and succinctly exposes the way businesses take advantage of their customers. Well, he turned it into a book, and...

So, when I remember, I make sure all my digital cameras still work. I also have two film cameras, but shooting film isn't in the cards . . . because I don't currently feel like playing those cards. Note: This might primarily interest photographers, but even then, most photographers will give this a pass. Feel... Continue Reading →
It's no secret, or, at least, it shouldn't be to the readers of this blog, that I think 2025 can best be described as a dumpster fire. Some will say that's too harsh and point to some bit of good news here and there, but all I ask is to start on January of last... Continue Reading →
https://vimeo.com/1150754130?fl=tl&fe=ec It's that time of year when our arbitrary marking of time offers the illusion of a chance to start anew, an opportunity to do better . . . and all that's needed is a resolution to make it so. So, to all my readers, family, friends, strangers, and what the heck, bots too, I... Continue Reading →
So, I might have mentioned that I put down some cracked corn at the end of my drive. Birds usually finish most of it, but sometimes not. In those instances, I sweep it into a pile because the deer that pass by at night will eat it. Well, a couple of nights ago, the deer... Continue Reading →
