David's Images of the Day Photoblog
For several weeks many (up to 100) turkey vultures invaded the neighborhood. There are three houses and several other trees that they favored for spending their nights. The roofs of the homes began to turn white from the turkey vulture droppings.
Probably 55 years ago… Found this with some pictures that my grandmother kept in a little book.
Remote Camera Control Test: Troll Family
I periodically use the Nikon Camera Control Pro program to remotely control cameras. This was the first time I used to the program to control a Nikon Df camera. Three images of the Troll Family changing the aperture and shutter speed.
I have been doing my laundry elsewhere for some time. Both the washing machine and dryer have not been working. While trying to fix the dryer, I pulled an amazing amount of lint out from around the drum. Fortunately, it never caught fire. Both units are at least 25 years old, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. While in Norway earlier in the year I saw a washing machine & dryer combo that used a lot less water, and did not require an external vent. After some searching I found a direct drive combo from LG. The new unit gets delivered tomorrow, so I need to disconnect and remove the old appliances.
The invasive “mile-a-minute” has become a problem. It was transported into the yard a few years ago by the deer. It grows even faster than the wild grape and poison ivy vines. It has already killed several trees and bushes in the rear section of my yard. In the fall, the vine dies and turns brown, but the damage is already done.
