Harriers flying in formation. Northern Harriers, not the plane that got named after them. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nature #masswildlife #halifax #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife

Ah, New England. Just hit a pothole that shook the car enough that it turned my windshield wipers on.

Bookbinding project wrapped up (well, except for spending a bit more time in the press and drying, which will straighten up some the bit of waviness on the endpapers.) This was mostly an experiment in printing bookcloth (finicky, but possible), practice making "common made" endpapers, and doing a rounded Bradel binding (a technique for forming the body of the book and making the outer case/covers.) 1/2 #photography #bookbinding #homeartprojects

Moving into week 2 of the Whisky Advent calendar, and a wee bottle of Glenkinchie Distillers Edition 2022. NAS single malt, 43% ABV, "Amontillado seasoned'. A bit of the sherry on the nose, but mostly barley and a little oak; a bit of toasted malt on the palate, with ginger and white pepper; the finish is lingering and oaky. Drier than the last few selections, still tasty. #photography #whiskyadvent #whiskyadvent2024 #day7 #drinks 1/3

Late hike on Saturday was pretty quiet. Just a brief visit from this female Northern Cardinal to keep me company. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nature #masswildlife #halifax #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife
