My wife spotted a Monarch in the front yard during lunch, so I grabbed The Big Camera and fortunately got a couple shots of it. Lumix G9 w/Panasonic Leica 100-400 @400 f6.3, 1/640, ISO 640 #photography #butterfly #monarch #lumix #m43 #microfourthirds #panasonic #outdoors #elderberry #nature

Apparently Cardinals and Bluejays will occasionally molt off their head feathers. Should grow back in a couple weeks.

Wonder what's up with this Cardinal's bald head? I think I'll email the state conservation dept this pic. #photography #birds #microfourthirds #m43 #lumix #backyardbirding

A 'bald' Cardinal sitting on a feeder. He has a seed in his beak.

Stepped out on the deck last night to get a pic of a cloud formation that was backlit & doing that Silver Lining thing. Camera fogged up going from AC to 104% Humidity, & the original shot had a severe '70s Soft Focus effect going on. But, DxO fixed it in the darkroom! #photography #micro43 #cloud

Large cloud formation, backlit to have that silver lining effect. foreground has a half ring of trees framing the shot

Original shot right off the camera. Lens fogged up, so it has a rather effect '70s Soft Focus film look to it.

Spent a few days in Denver Colorado. I'll try to remember to post a few more pics over the next few days, but y'all know I won't. ;) #photography #denver #boulder #rrcrossing #prairie #mountains #clouds #colorado #neonsign #building

Cool old parking garage with a green-backed neon sign, with Ram's Heads above it

Time to try the Solo campaign in Paper Wars Issue 109 for Burning Banners! It is called The Sunlit War, and it pits the Oathborn Dwarves against the Orcs! A short scenario, it's only 1 Year long, 3 Turns. It is setup to use the basic rules. #compassgames #burningbanners #paperwars #wargame #fantasy

Another session of Burning Banners. This time running the solo campaign from Paper Wars Issue 109! The photo shows the map with various Orc markers on it. The Paper Wars issue is lying on top of the map board. Player boards for Orcs and Oathborn, blessing cards, token tray full of tokens, dice, and the Rule book round out the shot.

Definitely need to order a couple more of those card boxes! I wasn't expecting them to be so nice!

Since this is a One Map (out of up to Four) scenarios, and I haven't played in a while, I might just go set it up on the table. There's something to be said for shuffling Real Cards and Rolling Real Dice, moving Real Chits around. But, for those larger multi-map scenarios, this will be very nice!

Set up Burning Banners on Vassal. This is usually the point where I go: "Sheesh, I'll just go set it up For Real on the table!" I'm always amazed, and underprepared, for how much Real Estate modern board games take up! Wargame or otherwise, Virtual or Reality. #compassgames #burningbanners #vassal

screenshot showing a burning banners scenario in Vassal. YOu see the Map, the magic card display, and the terrain effects chart.

Oh...that Altar of Malice one will be heading to my desk soon! (Actually I'll probably use it as a game mat for various tabletop games, but either way...)

'Turbo' Arrow III, that is. Turbo helps more at Higher altitudes, like out in the Rocky Mountains. I need to plan a Cross Country (get that flight plan filing and full ATC going) and get her up to a decent altitude.

Where's my Flight Simmers at? GA specifically. Here's the @justflight.com Piper Arrow III in XPlane12. I love Pipers, & 'own' several virtual variants. I also flew Cherokee 140s and Archers IRL a long time ago. Yup, I hold a Private Pilot License. #flightsim #videogame #xplane #piperarrow #pilot #GA

The instrument panel of the Arrow III. The lighting in XP 12 is amazing, especially with their surface reflection technology.

On final for 19L: gear down and locked, 20 degrees of flaps out, prop and throttle set, landing light on!

Looks nice! I have been seeing these around online, but didn't know what they were called in order to search for them. So, thank goodness for hashtags! Off to research them now!

Cleaned off (okay, took things from & shoved onto another) a shelf to put all the RC cars together rather than be scattered all over the basement. I made a background image, cause I'm a dork like that. Tamiya TT02R, TA RB10, Losi Micro B, TA RC104WD, TA RC10CE #weareae #rccar #tt02r #rc10 #modelcar

picture of a shelf with 5 RC Cars on it. From left to right: Tamiya TT02R with a Subaru WRX Body, a Team Associated RB10, a Team Losi Micro B, a Team Associated RC10 4WD, and a TA RC10 Championship edition from 1993ish.
