Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I was sitting eating my lunch at J.P. Cunningham’s on the Lake in Mahopac when this duck swam by. Imagine my surprise when it swam up to the steps coming up from the water and then waddled up them and into the eating area. From there it walked around from table to table until eventually returning to the water. I guess he/she is a regular.
A more conventional picture of the duck below:

Grommet seems to be the resident cat at Muscoot Farms. There may be more, but if there are I’ve never seen them.
Back in July 2013 I took a few pictures of Grommet and posted one of them (See: Muscoot Farm – Summer 2013). In that picture he looks quite ferocious, but was in fact only yawning.
While reviewing old pictures for the Black and White Portfolio, I came across this one where he looks more like a normal cat (if there is such a thing).

For as long as I can remember we’ve had, from time to time, crickets make an appearance in our house.
I believe they live in the crawl space and make occasional forays into the lower level of the house. They don’t bother me and I’m hesitant to get rid of them. The thing is that our house is probably their entire universe. We’ve been there for twenty years and I’ve been seeing these crickets throughout that time period. Since I imagine crickets down have a particularly long life span, we’re talking about generation after generation of crickets.
The funny thing is that, unlike other crickets I’ve encountered, they never make any noise.

I was sitting on our dock fulfilling my responsibility to take pictures of our visitors when I saw this dragonfly (if that’s what it is) alight on the wrought iron fence.
