Self-Rising Birdie

April 29, 2020 by Rich

From time to time (which is most of the time I’m outside with my camera), I try to practice getting photos of birds in flight. It’s not always easy; you need a higher shutter speed to make sure the bird is sharp and not blurry, you need to be able to somewhat anticipate the bird’s…

A Much Maligned Creature

April 26, 2020 by Rich

A not uncommon backyard visitor to I’m sure nearly everyone’s back yard at one time or another. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this guy is beautifully ugly! I was concerned about him when I first saw him in the middle of the day in the middle of my yard….

Rocky the Flying Squirrel

April 25, 2020 by Rich

To add a little levity to the images I share, here is one I call “Rocky”. For Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Well, he’s not part of the flying squirrel species but it looks like he’s flying since I captured him mid-leap. He was headed to my backyard bird feeder…again. Actually, I’m glad he’s around. I…

Bella Moth

April 23, 2020 by Rich

And for my next backyard photo, something a little different. Not a bird or a mammal; how about a moth? This particular species is not seen very often or at least not photographed and shared online much. I saw something bright and colorful out of the corner of my eye one day as I was…

Another Spring Migration Visitor

April 21, 2020 by Rich

This is another one of the occasional visitors I get during spring migration. I haven’t seen many of my regular visitors since hurricane Michael 18 months ago but I’m hoping that as the vegetation continues to regrow, more of these little guys will return. This is a Blue Grosbeak. He’s waiting somewhat (im)patiently for his…

Occasional Visitor

April 20, 2020 by Rich

This little guy, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, is only an occasional visitor to my backyard bird feeder. They migrate through this area in the spring and fall. In the spring, they’re headed to the northeast part of the U.S. and southeast Canada for breeding. In the fall, they head south where they spend the winter in…

TRANSITION TO RV LIFE – UPDATE

December 22, 2019 by Rich

It has been awhile since I’ve had a reason to update everyone on our latest activities in our transition to full-time RV life. My first post about this centered around our proposed truck and the towing hitch I had picked out. That has changed. I had decided I needed a RAM (I had chose to…

Apalachicola Fishing Fleet

September 19, 2019 by Rich

Apalachicola was only about 39 miles from the center of hurricane Michael. Michael was a fairly compact, but highly destructive category 5 hurricane. Catastrophic winds were not felt far from the center but the “normal” wind speeds of up to category 3 were felt much farther out. The east side of any hurricane (in the…

Labor Day Weekend

September 2, 2019 by Rich

Reflecting on the meaning of Labor Day means thinking about the work everyone has done to bring us to where we are today since hurricane Michael. Some working environments were (and still are) terrible and some are easy and enjoyable. Some jobs require hard, physical work; others are mostly cerebral and non-physical. In any case,…
