Wildlife Inventory: no rabbits, but 2 deer! 58°F, calm winds, overcast gradually clearing as the walk progressed.
A terribly grainy nighttime shot of a fence post on the right and further distant, a hill of gravel on the left. Behind the small hill are two lights; they are reflections in the eyes of the two deer who stand there.

Wildlife Inventory: 1 rabbit, 1 opossum. Spotted the opossum twice, actually: 1st when they were crossing the street about 10 yards in front of me, and afterwards, when they had meandered about 2 blocks closer to the river. 70°F and muggy; calm winds, fully overcast skies.

Wildlife Inventory: 5 rabbits. 62°F and quite damp, with calm winds and hazy, partly cloudy skies. Our leaves are starting to turn, and the dogwood tree is full of bright red berries. And it's about time!

Just in case you need a wee reminder of why television seems a bit dull. And also in case you need a bit of a laugh, and who doesn't these days?

Wildlife Inventory: 11 rabbits, and one distant Mystery Critter, its eyes too widely spaced to be a rabbit, and (unless it was in a depression) too short to be a fox. (May have been the opossum.) 62°F, calm winds, mostly cloudy skies with a few clear breaks in between; air a bit damp.

Wildlife Inventory: 2 rabbits (that I could see). 56°F, moderately strong winds, and light rain/mist, along with fully overcast skies (I have no idea where the full moon might be at this point). No photos - too dark and too far away from my 2 little charges tonight! Stay warm & dry, folx. ☔

Wildlife Inventory: 5 rabbits, 1 opossum. 58°F, moderate breezes, fully overcast with light rain. (In all honesty, I expected more rabbits. It was wet, and besides, it's International Rabbit Day.) nationaldaycalendar.com/celebrations...

Wildlife Inventory: once again, 2 rabbits, 1 opossum. 58°F, mostly cloudy skies, calm winds. Images below are same scenes, same camera, same settings. It's just flaky.

Given that it is pouring down rain, I'm afraid the bunnies will have to go it alone tonight! Pretty sure the night sky right now isn't likely to give me any decent photos either. 🌧️

Wildlife Inventory: 4 rabbits. 72°F, light breezes, mostly cloudy skies, and a lovely waxing crescent moon. No photos of bunnies, though; again, the camera isn't having it.

Still working on the tarp/rain issues that go along with an interrupted door install.

Wildlife Inventory: 2 rabbits (both in the same yard) and 1 owl, that I heard at first. But I stopped to listen, which apparently was unnerving to the owl, who then took flight. Such broad, powerful wings on such a small body! 69°F, light breezes, mostly clear skies (though rain's promised tomorrow)

Part of the reinstall of the basement bulkhead door. If this was plaster and not cement, I'd be ashamed of it. But this should do. It's under a tarp as it's going to rain tomorrow (of course).
A patched concrete foundation that will eventually be supporting a very heavy steel door. Wooden beams provide a frame or mold.Other side of the concrete patching on the stairs/door. There was a sizeable hole in the upper right corner until today.

On this anniversary of September 11, I don't only recall the horror, but also the mercy. Because when that act of terrorism destroyed lives, buildings, and peace of mind, our neighbors to the north opened their doors, their airports, and their hearts. Don't forget Operation Yellow Ribbon.

Hildemar von Regensburg @i-am-hildemar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Spent the afternoon attempting to remove/reinstall a bulkhead door. Evidence found of improper wood (not pressure treated)used previously. Grrr.
A hole in poured concrete. Maybe too much aggregate was used, but concrete should not yield to brushes or fingernails.  You cannot see the depth of this hole, but it's several inches.Mud,rotted wood, and crumbing concrete where the steel door was previously laid.

Wildlife Inventory: 1 rabbit, & 7 Canadian geese in a rough V formation. 78°D, light breezes, hazy skies.
Just beyond and to the right of the rightmost white flag sits a rabbit. I have no idea why they didn't run.

Back from a rather quiet fencing practice; no Wildlife Inventory tonight, sorry! TBH, it's been rather quiet in that department as well. I'm wondering where all the bunnies are.

Wildlife Inventory: no rabbits or other wildlife! 64°F, mostly hazy/pale blue skies, calm winds. Might be it's a bit too dry for them; there might also be a predator, though I heard no warning calls from the birds. Usually the local jays will squawk if there's an owl or cat.

No bunny counting tonight as I spent all day at a lovely local SCA event! Got to fence, learn things, help run a tournament, and hang out with friends. Then went to dinner together. 🍽️Had a great time!

A win in NH. My God, my silly state did something right. Or at least, accidentally... oh never mind. We're still stuck with the "election observers", AFAIK. But they're going to have to follow the law.

This rabbit was assuming I wouldn't look behind me as I passed. But if those ears are any indication, they're still paying attention.This was as close as I could get to this shy rabbit. They are just in front and to the left of the black hose reel near the house.

My fellow Americans - ALL of them, no matter where they come from, skin color, gender, orientation, etc - deserve a living wage, and we haven't had that since I entered the work force. SNAP is literally the least we owe them.

A rather blurry shot of the tuxedo cat I passed by today.A large rabbit sits facing away from the photographer, prepared to run. This rabbit is nearly always in this spot, near the blue slide and in front of the porch steps. I sometimes wonder if there's something special for them to eat there in the grass.
