Rare pierces Posted September 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Pictures taken between Monday, September 2 and Sunday, September 8. Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Oakman58 Posted September 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I took this picture this morning. This guy has his web just outside the patio door. Apparently our backyard floodlight is attracting meals to his lair. I will be fully armed if I get up the nerve to take out the trash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted September 5, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Low tide down at the wetlands this afternoon. A few birds around, but stumbled across a bunch of these tiny creatures. Just sat on the rock with the camera up, and they starting re-emerging from the sand. Only about 2 inches across, perhaps less. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer Cruiser Posted September 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Part of a holiday staycation week. Walking down the block (Everett, WA), boy-and-dog appeared real, approaching them man-and-girl at the end hit my consciousness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL3XCruise Posted September 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2019 My first experiment with a wide angle (compared to my 2000mm telescope) shot. Only two of the stars are easily visible from where I took the shot due to light pollution. The star top center is Deneb. Traces of the North American nebula are just barely visible, will need to try a longer exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 8, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Love the pictures but I sure would not be happy with that spider outside my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted September 8, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted September 8, 2019 While scrubbing engine parts, a static spark ignited a small fire in my Brother-in-Law's parts washer. Attempts to smother it failed, so he ran to the truck to grab the fire extinguisher. Even though properly applied, the pressurized jet of retardant from the extinguisher displaced the vapor building up in the washer tub and drove the flame up the wall of the shop, igniting the insulation on the roof. One flaming thing led to another and within 15 minutes, his work truck, tools, boat & trailer, golf cart and the entire contents of his 40’ x 50’ shop were reduced to ashes and melted metal. The new shop will have a parts washing station well separated from the main structure. Lessons Learned Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boeckli Posted September 13, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Spotted a couple of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos on my daily walk that were very happily munching on some red berries, quite oblivious to humans walking past. I observed one snipping off a branch, the holding it in its claw while stripping off the berries with its beak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted September 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Back from a 5 day trip to Disney World, and was a little late getting around to posting shots from the week before to the weekly photo thread. Still working on the Disney pics, so for now, here are some shots from out in the wetlands from the weekend before the Disney trip: An ibis reflecting: A yellow-throated warbler up in the shady pine trees - one of the early migrators returning for winter: A grey-headed swamphen with her chick: The tiny, wee little white peacock butterfly: Big alligator sitting up on the levee in the shade - he was actually fairly difficult to see in the shadows - watch where you walk out in the wetlands! I was cranked up to ISO 6,400 in order to expose him more visibly: A tricolor heron hunting in the still shallow waters: A lovely backlit anhinga glowing in the sun: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
