    Quick ramble-Enjoying Spring, in depth

    You know that if you work one or two jobs that your interaction with Nature over the next few months will be a series of 1 or 2 hr snapshots of Spring as you go through your days. You may get some "yard days" in but that is the sterilized version of nature isn't it? I did the same for...

    Pileated woodpecker @ Chester River Md

    I got his pic this morning! We had seen him a couple of times in the past week. It's the 1st one of these that I have ever seen in Maryland since I got here in 1963. Not great lighting as the sun was gone and it was drizzling on and off..... As always, if you right-click and Open in new tab...

    At first glance.....

    ...this may seem like I'm on my way to film a remake of the TV show Breaking Bad, but in reality, it's the chems for my Caswell electroplating kits with some expansion for different metals. It's really simple to do but full disclosure; Because this stuff really is or can be, dangerous I want...

    Really Sparky??

    So Matilda, this is what you do when you get bored of sitting IN your pool, THIS? Nothing says "change my water" like dumping it out yourself, is there?

    Acclimation or; "Fat & Happy"

    Not great shots as they were taken through the plexiglass.......... As we watched, she went over to the rock and pulled her meat to her pool, ate for a while then she pulled it into the water, ate for a while longer, then DRAGGED her meat out of the water and halfway to her leaf pile, about 2 feet!

    The only "day" like this in my entire life is today.

    Many of us have switched jobs or careers, we are all used to those conversations with the boss. Most times they are civil and mature, sometimes the old boss needs to be enlightened, but usually not. Today I get to leave the "workforce". No "leaving for greener pastures" or moving to a...

    Matilda crosses the Chesapeake Bay bridge!

    We loaded Matilda's enclosure and stand with accessories and brought her to the Nook! We got her basics covered....the rest will fall into place.... PS, Kerry's potted African violet plant didn't like her selection of 60F at night so I placed it in Matilda's home to warm up!
