Dan and I went to Great Meadows again this morning. Though we stalked them for the better part of an hour, we never really got a good chance at taking pictures of the wood ducks that are hanging out there now. I did get a couple decent shots though – check ’em out here.
What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
I’m never eating again. I ate more than anyone ought to consume this weekend, and while it was all great food, the thought of a meal right now makes me ill.
One of the desserts that contributed to my over-full state was this apple confit. Divine. Other items from the various weekend menus: New York bagels, tuna tartare, braised short ribs, chocolate souffle cake, more bagels, chinese noodle soup, turkey, prime rib, salmon, mashed potatoes, and, of course, more bagels.
While I was down in NYC this weekend, I picked up a couple of things at B&H; before they closed for passover: a new camera bag that’ll hold all my gear without splitting at the seams (in fact, it’s got room to spare) and the 50mm f1.8 lens I’d been eyeing for a while.
I put up some of the images from yesterday’s Great Meadows trip (and a couple from a photo outing a week or so ago) – check ’em out here
Check out the hot press Tova’s been getting lately. Also check out her soon-to-be-launched website (well done, Anna).
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!
