New Stuff

Feb. 7		On a beautifully clear night, I had a walk outside and took long-exposure photos of stars, trees, the crescent moon, and Venus..
Jan. 6		I thought to begin the New Year with something happy: A pileated woodpecker family at my suet feeder.
		And 2025 means that my site has been on the web for 30 years. That must mean something, but I don't know exactly what.
Oct. 27		A photo squence of what was probably my last ruby-throated hummingbird of the year.
13		Photographic praise of spring and/or autumn peepers.
6		Three large butterflies from this summer.
		I've begun updating my links page, Way Out, to include some of my favorite sources of alternative news.
Sept. 24		A photo review of the summer's hummingbird moths, with a particular focus on a September visitor.
14		I had an excellent day photographing hummingbirds last week, and today's post includes many photos of the wonderful hummers.
8		Bee macros are the subject of my new post today. Why? In brief, bees are wonderful.
2		A day over three-quarters of a year have passed since my previous post. How does that happen? Whatever, I'm back with a new post of several macros from a recent walk outside.
