The sky to the west after the blizzard. Not much snow but high winds and no visibility. Many crashes on I90 to our east. Last snowstorm of the season?

Blizzard in progress. Worse to come.

After the blizzard

A heron on the wing at sunset. Seen at Wall Springs Park in Palm Harbor Florida. There was quite a bit of smoke in the air which I think was from wildfires between here and Orlando.

A heron is silhouetted against a vibrant sunset sky.

A recent visit to a fish shop in Dunedin Florida found this frequent visitor hoping for a handout.

A white egret waits at the door of the fish shop cold room.

We had some icy days a couple weeks back. Yew(?) branches are covered with a light dusting of frost.

Bare branches and dried plants stand against a foggy, muted backdrop.

We had some freezing fog the other day.

Ornaments on Christmas Tree

From the archive: 2015 Christmas Tree Ornaments. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Cougar, Oxbow Park, Olmsted County, Minnesota.

This girl was actually purring as we walked by. We were told that she doesn’t do this very often. More likely to hiss, especially at teenage boys.

I might be crazy but I think I’m moving my personal programming projects from Ruby and Python back to Smalltalk in both its Pharo and Squeak derivatives. This could get interesting.

Just added an album of photos from our trip to Lisbon in 2019 to my photos page.

I just ordered my Christmas present: Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens

Every time I pick up a camera now it’s my APS-C mirrorless. Seriously thinking of selling all my full-frame gear. Too heavy for me to tote around.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a badger displaying such an attitude of nonchalance.
