In April? I don't think it counts unless it's in December.

My kid picked a med school after a long application process which followed four years of hard work and persistence. He earned it for sure.

This is a native orchid (showy orchid, Orchis spactabilis) that I've seen each of the last couple of years on a running path. I've never seen it anywhere else. There had been another plant about 50 feet from this one, but it's not there this year (so far).

I also saw a wild geranium on the same run; not very showy, but I'd never seen one of those before.

That's a beautiful picture. What are you shooting it with?

I was walking our dog the other evening just after sun down and saw a string of Elon Musk's Star Link communication satellites traversing the night sky from southwest to northeast. I had to look up what it was since I had never seen this before. No, this is not my video.

Hey CL - I'm using a Sony mirrorless camera with a 100-400MM telephoto lens. I'd say all the Sony's, Canon's, and Nikon cameras are just excellent these days.

Here's one from last night - a Baltmore Oriole in the back yard. It was at sunset, so the soft light was perfect.

A Baltimore oriole made a return trip to the back yard - have to share the pic I got:

We brought four teams to the State Finals in Academic Super Bowl and earned two Championships [English - 1st since 2003; and back-to-back in Science (only thirteen schools have accomplished it - including us)], one Runner's Up [Math - 2nd year in a row], and a Third [Interdisciplinary]. Very cool since we brought four teams last year and medaled four times as well, which makes our "medaling Kids!" the greatest number of medaling teams (8) in the state of Indiana over the past two years.

Five of my competitors are also in my Dual credit Calculus-based Physics and all scored over 99% on the Indiana University-Bloomington Final EXAM to end the year extremely well.

 

[Ozimoto]

Outstanding!

I had an ear removed!
... along with the cancer that had infected it.

 

[Ozimoto]

Ouch! Best wishes for healing.
