The squirrel has become my favorite little critter. This is also from yesterday at The Grove in Glenview, Illinois, near my work.

Just learned how to focus stack on this leisurely foggy rainy Sunday morning.

Just read the tags to find out what the items are. I am surprised at how well the Pilot Fountain Pen writes, and you all know how well this old lens does capturing flying birds! I was however disappointed with the Parker Quink Ink, which does not produce the true black I was hoping for.

This photo was merged from 9 shots at different focus distances so the entire front side of the lens is in focus.

今天在家学会了景深包围（Focus Stacking)。这是9张照片合成。佳能的400mm小炮绝对推荐。日本的百乐钢笔真不错，但派克的墨水太淡，不如以前买的Mont Blanc。

I went to Crabtree Nature Center today looking for Spring. What I found...

All kinds of birds came back to the area.
