Odds and Ends

There are still spaces on my Saturday Bugging Out tour at Green-Wood, and my Sunday Bugging Out for Kids tour on Sunday. The weather looks good. We’ll definitely see some of the above, Bald-faced Hornets, and the fabulous paper they make for their arboreal nests.

A number of readers/subscribers/viewers very generously helped finance the purchase of my Sony RX10IV camera back in the summer of 2021. Rather distressingly, since “back in the summer of 2021” was not that long ago, that camera is now barely functioning. I’ve worked it hard, for sure, taking thousands of photographs, but now repair, if possible, or replacement looms. If you would like to contribute to that or the general upkeep of this blog, you can contribute here.
