Simple life
Oct, 3
Sometimes even the simplest things in life get a little confusing when you look below the surface.
In such times it is best to lean together and hope in the end it comes out straight.
At long last
Sep, 26
It seems like forever since I have been able to spend a little time out with my camera.
Finally today I slipped out to Highbanks Metro Park to get a bit of fresh air.
It was nice and wet… and getting wetter but I stayed out anyway. There wasn’t much for wildlife but I really enjoyed this snail. Trouble was he was moving -snail’s pace or not it was too fast for a picture in a dark wood. The best I could do was open up the aperture a little bit more than I would have liked and turn up the ISO.
Out of 50 frames there were a few sharp ones.
I’m hoping that it won’t be too long before I’m out again.
Summer
Aug, 8
Is it really August already? Wow -what happened to July? As for me things have been going well -a bit too well actually. I have hardly had the time to blink lately. The field season is moving right along. Our bat captures for the year have exceeded 500 and we have been collecting lots of data tracking their movements (believe me, I’ve been typing it all in).
Lots of interesting things have come up like this Hoary bat. These guys are so great looking -and hard to catch, I always love to see them. Despite the innocent looks they are hard to keep track of. This guy, even though he was a juvenile, zipped along at least 4.2 miles of creek -in one night.
The job leaves little room for anything else but I did slip out to the park the other evening. It was a short little walk and I stopped only to click exactly two frames. This is one of them. Not too bad if I don’t say so myself.
