Last week there was a beautiful moon near the horizon and a stunning sunrise, in opposite directions. I couldn’t photograph them in the same shot. I thought that if I had a mirror, I might be able to capture both with some experimentation with angles, but alas, I had no mirror and the minimal focal distance of my lens is longer than my arm. So I put a composite image together in Photoshop. I think it came out nicely, and it was certainly fun to experiment!
This is not the first time I have seen these deer breaking the law, but it cracks me up every time. I did have to do a little Photoshop magic to get the deer and the sign both in focus, but that was fun too.
Maybe they are card-carrying members?
My husband put up the metal roofing last weekend! Hurray! Another tick on the check list. It is pretty and shiny right now, and reflecting the spring green from the budding trees.
I did paint the doors, but still need to get the trim painted. It was not in the cards today.
Spring also means that the turtles are on the move. This old lady (?) was crossing the road in our neighborhood. We only noticed her because Sophie, our outside cat, went over to investigate.
I can’t leave turtles in the road, I just can’t, so we helped her across so she didn’t get hit. I persist in calling her a “her” because of this article by U.S. Fish and Wildlife, which says the females go on the move to look for a place to lay eggs. Since this is not a young turtle, I assume she is going to lay her eggs and not going to find new territory. She wasn’t overly concerned about us. Probably not her first assist.
And in doing my research I found a new app “HerpMapper”, which of course I had to download and add our observation. Must contribute to science.
I made another spoon! This time for my sister. I used more of the applewood, and it went a little faster this time (80 grit belts on my belt sander helped).
