Writing forces me to examine my views as cold words on a page.
My views are borne out of my experiences on this world.
My experiences are slowly adding to the short story that is my life.
While I still can, I choose to share some for anyone who might find them useful, or perhaps just entertaining.

An update on the “N” stories and other stuff
Perry and Gary have sent me their “N” stories . . . and I’m close to getting an idea for a story. Yes, I’m late again. If I get hit by a flash of inspiration and a case of fast-finger-typing, … Continue reading

Got me more hummers videos
hummingbirds are very distracting, I tell you what. Take, for instance, yesterday evening. I wanted to work on a few things but I kept hearing them . . . humming. . . . so I went out with my phone . . . I’m about two feet away. … Continue reading
A litle of this and a little of that
On a recent update, Samsung added the capability for Super-slow Motion to the Note 8. Mind you, it’s very limited. By limited, I mean that you can only shoot a few seconds of video and end up with about 6 … Continue reading

The better hummingbird
The main reason for yesterday’s post was to showcase the processing of a hummingbird using Topaz’s Impression and Glow Plugins. Sure, I added words in there. That’s because my readers are split into two camps. Some just come for the words … Continue reading
Some stuff, some other stuff, and odd stuff
Writing a generic post begins by choosing a photo. In this case, a hummingbird photo. This hummingbird photo . . . As I work with the photo, I’m quasi-simultaneously thinking about what I might write. I finish my first iteration . … Continue reading
Quick October Update
Some of my readers, probably very few, might have noticed a drop in output. ‘Been busy. Plus, you know, fell into discussing violence, guns, and stuff. Won’t happen again. The discussing part. I linked enough stuff to keep an interested … Continue reading
All sorts of stuff
I begin with a video I shot earlier today . . . Again, if you have a good connection, watch in HD. I continue with something that I had forgotten about. Earlier, I made a comment on Facebook about last … Continue reading
First Batch of 2015 Hummingbirds
Just a quick post regarding hummingbirds . . . that’s why we begin with tree swallows. Here’s proof that nesting be difficult on the pair . . . I’m pretty sure this is the female, and she’s looking a bit … Continue reading

Worrisome
The time was 4:30pm . . . snow flurries blowing about, and the temperature hovering around the 31 deg (F) mark. I open the sliding door to the deck and one by one I take down the hummingbird feeders. Then, … Continue reading
