One-track iPhone Camera. Flickers and more Flickers
This afternoon, Hubby called me to the window to watch all the Northern Flickers in the yard. At one point, there were four of them, but I only managed to capture three. Here are some still shots. Please be aware that these were taken through a double-pane window from the second story bedroom. And a …

Guest Author: Judi, @DeafLibertarian on Deaf Culture.
I have followed this lady for almost as long as I have been on X/Twitter, and I really value what she has to say. I have been aware of "Dead Culture" for a lot longer, and Rush Limbaugh definitely encountered it when he went profoundly deaf in adulthood. He got some pushback from the Deaf …

Our little fence-destroyer came by today.
I just happened to be outside with my phone camera, and our little Downy Woodpecker came around to have some suet. She very clearly demonstrated how the birds have eaten away the tops of all the vertical boards in our back fence. Caught in the act! Shortly thereafter, she came back to actually eat some …
Sama Says: Leave your butter out on the counter! It won’t hurt you!
Over a year ago, I started leaving my butter out on the counter in my kitchen instead of putting it in the refrigerator. So far, so good. I have never had any go rancid, and I just love that I always have spreadable butter for my toast. At the same time, I switched from cheap …

Pinpoint Illumination: When the light’s just right.
Often, when I'm sitting out in my back yard, I see a bit of sunlight that's at exactly the correct angle to show off just one leaf, or one frond, or one rock. My yard is surrounded on three sides by vegetation: tall trees in the mini-forest on the west side, the south neighbor's tall …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #409: Best Ever Images
Actually, it's not too difficult for me to choose my five best-ever photos. I'm not a professional photographer, and I am amazed at the excellent quality I can get from my iPhone camera! Before I got my first smart phone for my 70th birthday, I used to poo-poo all the people who were holding up …

It’s Flicker Friday
Our family of Northern Flickers was by today, and they do come around often. Below are some still photos and video which show them at their best in the yard. I never tire of taking their pictures. Glug, glug, glug, one of the adults taking a long drink at the birdbath. He sat there and …
*More evidence that Washington State is encouraging forest fires, rather than preventing them.
It is common knowledge that the Leftists who run Washington abhor the logging industry, charging them with destroying the state's old-growth forests for profit, and contributing to the extinction of species like the Spotted Owl. Given that most of the old growth forests were logged in the 19th Century, mostly for shipbuilding and home construction, …
*A Very Bad Supreme Court Decision
Back in 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt was President, and World War II was going on. The Democrat President's socialist New Deal has been in force since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and war production was gradually lifting the economy out of the Depression. War restrictions on the economy were taking effect, and the New …
