I made a bunch of progress on the light machine recently including designing in the ball bearings, installing the two motors, and locating weldable cellophane. Should be up and running in not too long.

This morning I met Dan at Concord Great Meadows for some wildlife photography. We saw red-winged blackbird (by the hundreds), Canada geese, a single great blue heron, two swans, a wood duck (briefly), and a muskrat. Getting the exposure right for the blackbirds was tough, but there were a few decent photos in the lot (I’ll put ’em up soon). I’m glad it’s spring and we can be outside again!
