Still Life with Ravens

And the #1 reason “Its better to live on the Arctic Ocean as opposed to the Gulf of Mexico” is…
This a screen shot of a really cool animation of ten IR satellite images taken over a five hour period on the NOAA's Hurricaine site.

Because there hasn’t even been a mention of Ravens here for a long time

Every journey…
I received some good news on the writing front yesterday. A production company is actually reading my screenplay. I had sent out the screenplay or query letters in January this year to a small group of production companies and agents. I wish I hadn't, as I've since learned a lot about proper formatting and have…

Food Meme
This food meme has been making its rounds, and although I've got a couple of posts percolating right now I thought I'd throw this out for public consumption (Yeah it was intended). I picked it up from Prairie Ice, but there are others who did it, such as Patrick over at the Hawkowl's Nest. I'm…

Happy Birthday Mr. Peterson
Today marks what would have been the hundredth birthday of Roger Tory Peterson. It can be argued, quite easily I think, that no one is more responsible for the success of birdwatching as a hobby, avocation, or compulsion than him. He figures quite significantly in my development as a bird lover, for like many people…
