Deadly Lure As mentioned in Part 1, I've been taking a lot of photos of birds. The 100% Crop series is just at it sounds. Each photo shows a bird cropped from a larger photo. Most of the crops will be 100%, but not all. I was going to include this in the previous post... Continue Reading →

The ship and stuff – Alaska Cruise 2017
Edited to Add: the caca Block Editor's Paragraph Block is — for some probably stupid coding reason — highlighting all the text in yellow. I've tried to fix it a number of times, and I'll keep trying, but if you see the distracting and unwanted yellow highlight, please curse whoever coded the editor (I do).... Continue Reading →

Twenty-four hours “V” stories voting non-reminder . . . and a few birds
I think I've figured it out . . . people are tired of these reminders. Basically, the constant reminders about the "V" stories block voting deadline is just an irritant.
