Went out yesterday to get in a hike before the big heatwave. Quiet day for birds, except for this pair of pileated woodpeckers. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. #birds #photography

Buffleheads! Not a fantastic shot, but I do enjoy a tiny duck. I might go see if they're out there again today.

Same! When I'm not working on mappy stuff--or teaching mappy stuff--I've been taking photos. Mostly local wildlife.
Here's a Merlin I spotted last week.
#gischat Share your non-mappy stuff.

Sure. When setting the processing extent of an operation, the drop down menu listing preset extent options was replaced with a series of icons. My students were especially vocal about disliking this change, since the icons aren't intuitive for them and accessing the tool tips is slow and clumsy.
