S23 Ultra - 30x digital zoom I've not much in particular to share, so I'm free-wheeling. We begin with the photo from the phone, above. As it says, 30X digital zoom, with the subject about 22 ft from where I sat. Digital Zoom is, in effect a crop of the 10X optical zoom . .... Continue Reading →
These were taken on April 8, before I photographed the eclipse. I snapped many good images but pared them down to 22, all action shots. Because of it, very few words in this post. Some of these are the best I've ever taken of the respective birds. We begin with the Blue Jays above and... Continue Reading →
This, then, is the fourth and last post showcasing photos I snapped on April 7th. Honestly, I don't expect anyone but a few diehards to pay any mind to this post. Consequently, despite the gallery containing 52 images, this will be a short post. It's much like the others . . . birds, and then... Continue Reading →
On April 7th, I again sat outside with my coffee and Nikon D7500. I snapped 345 images, trashed a few, and picked 209 to share. That's too many for one blog post, so I'm splitting them into four posts with 50 to 55 images each. This, then, is the third of four posts about what... Continue Reading →

That's an image from two years ago, but I put out four hummingbird feeders today because the migration map (HERE) shows them in the area just south of us. I had one report of someone seeing a hummingbird north of our home. I don't know how reliable they are, but it's possible, given the map... Continue Reading →
Still busy doing nothing, so this will also be quick. Again, composed on the phone app, so I don't know how this will turn out. Above, you see ... something. It's in front of an excellent Italian store. Also, this. We also visited a great boardwalk ... where I once again tested the zoom feature... Continue Reading →
Hey! The videos finally updated. https://youtu.be/7at6KYaiUEM?si=w3aQGoiifwgyUoSi I swapped out the original soundtrack because we were listening to a podcast. The music choices were limited. https://youtu.be/14gZQaR0kqY?si=ChqvK5Z7fB63OzYG Not great videos because you have to pay attention to kids and adults walking around, and this was me handholding the phone as I drove. https://youtu.be/3jXaB8H7pOc?si=CHBlJtjR60tOYCwL That’s it. This post... Continue Reading →
https://ejdalise.smugmug.com/Travel/Daytona-Beach---February-2024/i-6B3Nt7C So, this is another try to publish a post using the Jetpack App . . . and already I'm getting an error. It's not recognizing the "Previous" and "Next" post blocks. I mean, I made a copy of my standard template, and those two blocks are not recognized as valid. Anyway, I'll try and... Continue Reading →
. . . and a feather and leftover rock. I had left out one of the rock photos I snapped on that day in August . . . so here it is. The previous rocks post is HERE<<link. But, this post is about birds, and the first is the Common Tern<<link. Perhaps I should remind... Continue Reading →
This is a look back at photos from the last five months of 2022. "Why five months? Why not six months?" Well, Bob — if that is indeed your name — I', not going through this again. If you want an answer, read the intro to the previous post. Anyway, we continue with a brief... Continue Reading →
This is a look back at photos from the first seven months of 2022. "Why seven months? Why not six months?" Well, Bob — if that is indeed your name — I have 56 photos and wanted to split them into two posts, and it just happened that the first 28 photos cover the months... Continue Reading →
