No lightning for me yesterday. But the drive wasn’t wasted:

[caradoc]

I bugged out just as that dust hit my location. It got nasty.

Got this one last night:

[caradoc]

Second Fourth. Lily says, “Happy Fourth!” Or, more accurately, “Mamamamamabababababdadada.”

[caradoc]

They look unfinished.

Very much agreed.

[caradoc]

Wondered where you went, but no worries.

I’ve only in the past year gotten to the point where I’m happy with some of my bird images. Due to a lack of variety where I’ve frequented for them I’ll have a blue heron as one of my three, and no predatory birds (which I fear are the ones that will get the most votes; my one osprey just isn’t quite clear enough for my tastes). I do have a cute one of a stilt with it’s chick that I hope does okay, though.

If you’re looking for more blue herons or more predatory birds, you really need to come hang with me on a few excursions…

Birds just ain’t my thing – I do shoot them occasionally, but they’re not what I really go looking for most of the time.

There was room in the trunk of the Chevy for a darkroom. Or six bodies. Pick one. (I only say “was” because I sold it a couple of months ago.)

[caradoc]

People with darkrooms are kind of like people who rebuild classic cars, but much, much, much cheaper.

Not really. And I do speak from experience.

[caradoc]

Argh. In order to maintain domestic tranquility, I will likely be reactivating that stupid FB account.

I will probably not be using it for much of anything, though.

Maybe once my relatives learn to fricking BOOKMARK things instead of using my FB “Info” page to get where they want to be, I can disable it again.

Dammit.

[caradoc]

I wish I could, but it is the one way I can keep in touch with a whole slew of people I would never speak to otherwise.

Google+. Twitter. Regular e-mail.

[caradoc]

Not only isn’t there internet where we’re staying, my wife can’t even make a call on her iPhone.

It’s not completely out of civilization, but it’s close.

Mutually contradictory statements.

[caradoc]

Is the “freezing” limited to shutter speed, or is flash acceptable?

Here’s why I ask: http://webs.lanset.com/rcochran/flash/hss.html

My wife’s hair is going grayer by the minute. Lily has mastered the ottoman, and now climbs from the ottoman to the chair, and is making serious attempts at getting from the chair onto the console. She’s been using the green teething toys as pitons to wedge between the cushions.

[caradoc]

Probably. Might have some storms rolling in tomorrow evening through Tuesday morning.
