Greetings, all! It has been a while. God, I have missed this place. *hugs everyone, even "new-faces"*

I have a new phone now, as my other one started failing to display any text options! 🥳🥳

The boys are well!

The trees/plants are well!

Still throwing clay!!

Tree-huntin' season!

Here are a few images of the recent week or so

Looks like the phone takes great pics too! Glad to see you back. Don't be a stranger, or less stranger. :)

I used this today and thought of you. 😂

I’m no birder . But I think it’s a. Perigean Falcon he is eating a sea gull in the grocery store parking lot . He flew by and nailed it with amazing precision . It just drop dead. Instantly

Pinus strobus cultivar Niagara Falls . In training . Cones started last fall . Curious what’s going to result . Strobus normally has large cones 3 to 7 inches . These are about 1/2 inch long . Don’t seem to be aggressive growing larger . I’m going to leave them .there on a sacrificial branch . And see what the seeds produce . For S and giggles . The cultivar is a weeping form . Fairly new

Yeah. I know some people who drove south to see totality, they are now stuck in traffic coming back. Plus I had to work & I thought the world was supposed to end so I charged up all my credit cards. ;)

A friend of mine took this one.

in case you doubt the earth is heated by the sun . Black pavement parking lot at work . Clear day , high of 18c pavement temp . No wind 26c measured with a laser temp gun . Became 1.4 c cooler before eclipse to peak at 93 percent coverage . That’s a surprising number to me . I have some experience with . Road temp from racing days . Track temp from sunny afternoon to after dark , but was unaware it can have so fast a effect

My son went about 45 minutes south of here and saw the totality but didn't take a picture. The event caused HUGE traffic jams. My husband was 2 hours late from work and that was when traffic had thinned out some.

Yeah I saw a few stories about the gridlock the Eclipse caused. Glad I stayed home. :)

98% anyone got 100%

Best I got was 53%. It was going to be a 20hr drive to the closest point within totality. I really really really wanted to go, but couldn’t justify a 20hr drive to TX, all that gas, then to turn around and drive 20hrs back and gas and possibly sleep deprived

Out on a Yamadori dig trip . Wild acer rubrum . Northern red maple in flower . Most people think the tree is named. Because of its red fall leaf colour . That is not so . There named . For the fact that sone part of the tree is red at any time of year . Makes a nice visual . In early spring in a mostly bland colour . Hardwood forest
