2023 is starting out well with some exciting experiments I made last fall.

It was the perfect time to test the capabilities of my phone’s camera with clip-on macro lens (works…
I mark spring’s progress by the arrival of the elegant, but spunky barn swallows. I love that their diets include eating wasps and other insects around our home. And if you’ve ever witnessed the feast of mayflies by a body of water — you’re lucky enough to have seen the feeding frenzy coupled with the…
