Walter in a half sploot

25 May 2019 1 minute read 1 comment Solominer

This seating method has a funny name to it, probably because it looks funny to see animals laying in this position. For it to be a full sploot, he would need to have both feet back. So in this case its only half.   Camera Model Canon EOS Rebel T1...

Infrared Photography - Blueberry plant producing leaves and little flowers

23 May 2019 2 minute read 2 comments Solominer

I see more and more flowers every year with these blueberry plants. Every flower is a potential blue berry, though they have a long transformation ahead of them before they are ready. Luckily the bees were hard at work pollinating all of them.    ...

These spade shaped leaves grow in abundance during the spring time. We have many more this year as our trees peaches were frozen and most have dropped from the tree. When that happens the tree puts all its energy towards its leaves, but unfortunately...

Walter lounging around

One of my followers said the cats in the house are lazy, I think thats due to them being indoor cats. Walter lives a very sheltered life and at this point there is no point to introduce him to the outside world. He has no interest in going outside...

I brought my special camera along with me to Chattahoochee Bend State park. I arrived in the morning and the shadows were still long with the sun in the corner of the sky. The near infrared wavelength I am capturing gives the sky a ruddy orange, and...

Setting up my actioncam inside the bee house

21 May 2019 1 minute read 0 comments Solominer

Using my full sized camera it must stay outside of the bee house. Being on a tripod I cannot get it in very close, but using my little SJCAM I can set it up right at the opening. The bees were a little curious about it, but went back to the work shor...

  I took a few pictures of my blueberry plants using a tripod. Switching between filters I captured different wavelengths and then used GIMP to merge them and bring out color in the details I wanted to use. Gives the scene a unique look with the infr...

He sleeps like the dog sometimes, with his belly up and little toe beans facing out. If the sun is coming through the window he wants it to warm up his core. An easy day for Walter just lounging in the sunshine.   Camera Model Canon EOS Rebel T1i...
